-

I enjoyed my field camp very much,doing all those things... But when the times come to war,will u pick up ur 'wife' and start defending??? -
sighz everyone is gonna POP next week except for the boys from Eagle coy. Sianz.Originally posted by coffeeortea:more like kentang session.. seriously.. BMT is so damn welfare now.. and dont say im speaking without experience.. because im going to POP next week. -
i love my sit test more than field camp...although fieldcamp was quite fun and enjoyableOriginally posted by Gordonator:i never enjoyed my field camp or BMT when i was a recruit. but now that i have ORD and thinking back, it was a very memorable experience.
i remember we chase after the wild boar with sticks and tree branches -
That's right.Originally posted by Ristar:i was with u until the BMT platoon thing. those men arent even trained soldiers. wtf. during war, when they are in BMT, they can make mistakes, can afford to respond like a sluggard. at the frontline, they'd be target practice for the enemy. like it or not, recruits will let u down in war time, whether they want to or not is immaterial.
I think Zheshi will understand when he has his own guys to lead and train. In fact, it is not just limited to combatants. It's the same which ever vocation you are in. What I always wanted for the people I had to teach, is that they learn all the good stuff, and have a good dose of common sense when they graduate. And no one learns immediately, so you must always supervise. -
chase wild boars? that's very brave of u all.Originally posted by monkeybusiness:i love my sit test more than field camp...although fieldcamp was quite fun and enjoyable

a sergeant led us to do it
he told us that the wild boars will start to come out at around evening time 6+ or 7+...so he threw a pack of combat ration and we waited for about close to an hr b4 we hear the boars coming
den wen it is closer to us, we just dash out from the bushes with the sticks and branches
i think the camou cream on our face work wonders during the concealment from the wild boars -
sounds like fun. got take pictures of the boars?
-
nopeOriginally posted by Gordonator:sounds like fun. got take pictures of the boars?
our camera was with our platoon sergeant at the admin tentage.
we were not suppose to chase after the wild boars or do anything to dem as instructed by pc...so i assume tat wat we did was illegal..therefore we din request to take any pics
but the boar was quite cute..small size one -
Wild boars are so bloody common in S'pore, can see them easily in groups along express way even also.Originally posted by Gordonator:sounds like fun. got take pictures of the boars? -

They are doing this because of HYGIENE!! FIELD HYGIENE!!
They need to check because, well boy, this is the army. Not boy scouts!
Everything you do will have thier reasons. Thousands have tried to test the system. ALL FAILED!

yes, its something that everyone will agree to be quite fun when looking back at the good ol' times, but no one will want to go through it againOriginally posted by Gordonator:i never enjoyed my field camp or BMT when i was a recruit. but now that i have ORD and thinking back, it was a very memorable experience. -
i don't mind going through field camp again. for nostalgic sake.Originally posted by Fucking Bitch:yes, its something that everyone will agree to be quite fun when looking back at the good ol' times, but no one will want to go through it again -

Some assume that everybody is old enough to take care of themselves~
Knn I used to have a man who dont brush his teeth and bathe. Not during out field excercises mind you. So what I do? I had to make him standby tootbrush every morning and brush his teeths in front of me! -
It sure looks fun and easy when you guys are about to ORD and start to look back....
However, when you are drinking mud water in Brunei, I don't remember anyone saying how Shiok it was or how it was 'a once in a lifetime experience'
Or when you are only less than halfway through your roadmarch and you already feel so shag that you juz wanna give up and go back and you start hating everything the Army has made you gone through.
I totally emphatise with those going through it now because its so easy to simply look back and say "Kids nowadays are so soft, alittle bit and they complain."
I am sure the generation before us said exactly the same thing about us.
Anyway ORD in 2mths Loh. -
hahaha.. i have to agree, its always the things that we have accomplished, and while looking back.. seem so easy and quick..Originally posted by jianfish9:It sure looks fun and easy when you guys are about to ORD and start to look back....

Yea can't wait ^^
But come out my status will be 'Unemployed'...
At least another 6mths till my Uni start, time to start catching up on my holidays -
oH, U mean u thought that field camp was going 2 be a 7 day chalet? Gosh, why didn't the SAF explain to u properly before u go for BMT? Can complain to the SAF hotline one, u know?Originally posted by Fire Star:In Tekong 7 days outfield, what's the point of spending 1 hr naked to powder bath, then got body inspection to see all parts of body are totally white, and the face have to be white also.
In the end all the mosquitoes and sandflies bite the skin till it is swollen all over. This is purely nonsensical tekang session.
Why not fall in and change as fast as possible, and powder bath ourselves?
I don't know but some people at Tekong have proved themselves to be...mentally ill.
