i live in the west. anyway the new army PT kit is not so eye catching as say, the OCS, PTI and grey army singlet.Originally posted by wuming78:where do you live?
anyway i think its valid, esp since the new pt kit is of higher quality and more suited for physical activities than the grey singlet.
For the benefit of uninitiated swakoos like myself, wat's the colour of the new PT kit?Originally posted by Gordonator:i live in the west. anyway the new army PT kit is now so eye catching as say, the OCS, PTI and grey army singlet.
which reminds me, last year during the army half marathon, a lot of army personals wear the new PT kit and took the MRT to city hall. what a sight.![]()
the new army pt kit, meaning the one where the different formations have their own colour combinations rite?

Haha... double standard definitely not from me!Originally posted by wuming78:again the question is why the double standard lor.
anyway i always wear the ocs singlet to run near my home. and no, i dont attract the attention of passers-by.
i live in the west. anyway the new army PT kit is now so eye catching as say, the OCS, PTI and grey army singlet.i meant to say "is not so eye catching as" instead of "is now so eye catching as".
ya that's the one. and yes u are right, the engineer is black with yellow at the side.Originally posted by wuming78:the new army pt kit, meaning the one where the different formations have their own colour combinations rite? (e.g. your combat engineer is the mostly black with bits of yellow)
Savior of lives wat..Originally posted by Gordonator:there was this new lifeguard in my unit justed posted in. everyday he will book in and book out in the bight yellow lifeguard shirt with bright red "SAF LIFEGUARD" at the back. luckily he carries a backpack with him so not so obvious when walking in public.
man, he must really be proud to be a lifeguard.
which formation/unit is that?Originally posted by ditzy:Mine is an ugly shade of green. I don't even dare to wear it at home.![]()
To becum a lifeguard is not easy! So hao lian a bit lar.

he walks, drives? or bikes? and what does he do in camp?Originally posted by Gordonator:oh ya. i suddenly remember this guy.
there used to be this person in my camp (he ORDed already), everyday he will book in and book out wearing the goretex raincoat over his no.4! yes, i'm not kidding, he will wear it regardless of any weather, hot or cold.![]()
he walks. judging from the fact that he walks in every morning and go home every evening, i say he must be a clerk or something.Originally posted by wuming78:he walks, drives? or bikes? and what does he do in camp?
wah. like that if he takes public transport (other than taxi) then he must be really hiong! mabbe he trying to simulate chiong sua condition and feeling since he is unable to do so.Originally posted by Gordonator:he walks. judging from the fact that he walks in every morning and go home every evening, i say he must be a clerk or something.
more like he bought that expensive goretex for hundreds of dollars, so must wear it everyday to get his money worth.Originally posted by wuming78:wah. like that if he takes public transport (other than taxi) then he must be really hiong! mabbe he trying to simulate chiong sua condition and feeling since he is unable to do so.
i think even now, it is still not an issued item - they are to be returned at the end of service.Originally posted by Gordonator:more like he bought that expensive goretex for hundreds of dollars, so must wear it everyday to get his money worth.
(we were not issue goretex back then)
i heard of them but never seem them before.Originally posted by wuming78:have u noticed that even though there are goretex pants, no one uses them?
