Inanimate things
1) Old British Army guard room documents in Nee Soon Camp. One was a report sheet for the Guard Cmdr to fill up. He was supposed to report guard strength, number of buglers and drummers !!! I don't know how old this report sheet was, but i thot they gave up on buglers and drummers long long ago.
2) Nee Soon HQ armoury full of British weapons. Lee Enfield .303 rifle, British SLR auto rifle etc etc

u are right. i agree that seletar RPs are 1 of the most siao on in the army. one of my friend used to be a RP there. he told me lots of story on how siao on their CSM are. how he make them memorise the car plate no. of all the important people in camp.Originally posted by Hellraiza:i think that "once upon a time" is damn long ago lah... now seletar RPs are one of the most siao on RPs
got 1 time a CPT just drive in without changing pass. the RPs searched the camp and find the CPT to change pass.
my friend couldn't take the stress he requested to transfer to another camp. in the end he got transferred to nee soon camp guardhouse. he was so happy when he find out how slack it is at nee soon. -
speaking of old stuff..
i was doing duty and fed up of how messy the filing cabinets are, so I just clear it up and found circa 1960-1970s Topo map of singapore.
Back then topo maps ain't censored, you can see JB territory and all the air bases in SIngaproe.
Changi Airport is non-existent.
On anoterh occasion, I stumbled across Secret level docs.. but date 1980s. haaa -
-Heard.
From a classmate, that in the "group?"(whatsitcalled?) next to his cousin's, xiao xiao lee(little little lee) was in, heard that particular group was not so tiring compared to others, and "inspectors" were frequently sent in to check on him.
Also heard "he" smoked and beat up people. -

i suddenly remember something. there was once this guy in my camp who like to wear goretex jacket everywhere he go. book in, in camp and book out will definitely see him wearing it, no matter how hot the weather is.
that time goretex jacket wasn't widely issued like today so i think he's wearing it to get his money worth. -

lol. everyone in nee soon will know that guy.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I saw that guy! -
Why I dun have any interesting facts about SAF..

during my time,civilians have to change their IC to a pass to go inside the camp...change back to IC when they come out...exception to that are the cab drivers and TIBS drivers.Originally posted by Shotgun:Once upon a time in Seletar camp, the RP only recorded the MID vehicles moving in and out of camp. Civilian vehicles were not regarded as SAF property and thus no records of their ins and outs were made. 
now I think seletar camp no more RP at the gates liao...
wet gap=private illegal fishing spot for the SAF people and Coast Guards. -
If I had seen that, I would be so very tempted to set the tree alight!Originally posted by Ponders:that you can cheong sua in Tekong and suddenly a fenced up tree appear in front of you... with the sign saying...

Prowlers in my camp during my time, usually have wild dogs accompany them. But no idea where these dogs come from.
Weird stuff.
1.) Cursed Hand-cuffs (the police type). Only those on official business like escorting detainees can touch them. Any Non-official personnel that touch them will end up in DB.
2.) Cursed bunk. Anyone sleeping in that bunk will kena spooky event. i.e. someone sitting on top of them in the middle of the night, seeing dark shadows in the room, etc, etc. -
wah liew he dun want ppl to see his name tag ?Originally posted by Gordonator:actually he will wear the goretex jacket together with his no.4 everyday for book in and book out. -
Once while I was doing guard duty at the old SMM (Ulu Pandan Camp), we heard some old Chinese wayang music coming out of an unused bunk while my buddy and I were prowling.
Pretty spooky, I must say. -

That happen to my camp last time too. Its like every time for the guards to have inspection and briefing by DO they also have their own 'parade'. When the guards go prowling they will follow as well. When the guards finish their duty the next day these dogs will disappear and will only return in the evening. Its good to have companions while prowling as my old camp is quite big and quiet.
