lol, if u REALLY wanna waste your two years away and clean up the mess like a servant, serve beer, go to the tables and collect the used mugs after high ranking ppl had enough drinks and go home, then clean up dirty mugs...
if all the above is true, messboy is definitely for u. -
i'll rather go chiong suah than waste my time in a mess.

Mess boy is a vocation?
Last time, in my unit, Mess boy is a duty. -

but my unit do mess boy duty beri stress one.
Lose 1 can of beer can kena DB.
drop one drip of beer when pouring into chilled mugs can sign extra.
officers who say pay tomolo will pay a week later, so in the mean time, u bo dai bo ji have to pay on his behalf.
Some "chow kuan" aka f**k-up officer will delay paying u until u bring the matter up to the RSM and u become the chow kuan officer "new target" board.
Officer drink, drunk and vomit is ur problem. And they do it the next day, and the next and the next and the next........
U hab to listen to old uncles (aka the lao officers and enciks) speak their old army stories and whine about their family problems and u can't f**king leave.
when unit hold function in the mess, the mess is a mess, and u will be a mess and if u dun hand over swee swee, u will kena a big pile of smelly mess.
sit down and zhuo bo can get screwed by the RSM who will dunno when drop in to check. -
Yes, messboy is a vocation. The proper term is mess steward, according to SAF . Messboys will be under QM side and their direct superior/s will be the QM and RQ.
One of my poly classmate who OOCed from OCS was a messboy. Life was quite good, obviously. If no officers were around, he would either be polishing up on his billard/pool skills or he would be using msn and playing diablo2 etc. He gets free unlimited access to the normal beverages like milo,coffee and soft drinks. Once in a blue moon, he might even be able to nick some tiger beer.
As for the downside, since he was the only messboy in the entire officers' mess, he had to do the full shift, 7am - 7pm, (any functions beyond that will be considered OT and he will get 1 day OFF). He had to reach camp before 7am to get 4 loaves of bread, kaya, butter etc from the cookhouse. He had to buy newspaper and food for the officers sometimes. He also had to follow something called "mess stewards directives and guidelines, a 5 pages worth of typical SAF crapology. For some camps, they have 2 messboys and their shift is divided into something like : 1st shift : 7am - 3pm, 2nd shift: 3pm to 11pm. For my friend who works alone, it was indeed a bit ”ü’†•s‘« mei zhong bu zu.
On the whole, for kengsters and lazy bums, it will be the perfect vocation.

One of the very worse vocations to be in.
-
what is the attire of mess boy? no.4 or admin? or they can wear their own?
-
What about the boy who takes care of the armour heritage centre?
-
Most wear civilian, but the color is decided by the QM. For instance dark blue or black collared shirt and pants. Or the division/brigade polo tee + a dark color pants. The shoes must be the black shoes worn with your standard Number 3.Originally posted by Gordonator:what is the attire of mess boy? no.4 or admin? or they can wear their own? -

For some units, there is no fixed messboy.
In mine, all those in the clerks vocation take turns. -

We have no messboy, all self-service. Pay for the beer to the drinks stall chap.Originally posted by laurence82:For some units, there is no fixed messboy.
