Route march = abrasions.
Screwed up lil activity. If not the butt cheeks rub too much kena abrasion, it will be the tights or the stupid shoulder if nv strap fieldpack properly, OR if u are a medic.
Either way its more patches of raw skin... ouch. -

are u from mohawk in 2000?Originally posted by fudgester:No one in my BMT platoon brushed their teeth in the first 7 days. By the end of the day we were all too shagged out to bother.
Then on the 7th day some big fcuk MAJ walked around the campsite. He asked my buddy whether we brushed our teeth every day.
When my buddy said no, the MAJ went
and said, 'Ok, I'll do something about this.'
That night we all kena 'stand-by teeth'. We all had to brush our teeth in platoon level, open our mouths and show the foam to our instructors. 
And Gordy: I got to show my mouth full of foam to 2SG Don.

ALmost same thing happened to me when I was in SAFINCOS ( before Sispec). Was on 5 day exercise in Tekong. Too busy to shave. Ended up on the 4 th day with some fuzz on my face.
The OC came along by chance and saw me. Immediately started to go berserk ! Luckily only a scolding , no extras or standby anything. My reason was that I was too busy in the field (which was true because I was holding various appointments during the exercise). -
Look at his beard.

Yeah, i used to hear horror stories on how he used to ran Foxtrot. Not sure if he was the same guy. Did ur "electrcity" strangely fail everytime when it rains? Or did Company fire movement during BMT?Originally posted by Gordonator:CPT Luqman now. used to be me and fudgester's OC. very garang. -
i scared abrasions sia, every camp i go to so far that required me to stay outfield sure kana one.. even boxers also no use..den must apply some aloe vera gel..

no to both question. why not ask fudgester too? cos during my time, my OC is considered pretty tamed liao.Originally posted by Shotgun:Yeah, i used to hear horror stories on how he used to ran Foxtrot.

LTA Luqman came in while I was midway through my BMT. He was a terror at times. At the end of the 16km route march he made the whole company put their rifles overhead and hentak kaki while singing hentak kaki songs. We had to semula countless times.Originally posted by Gordonator:no to both question. why not ask fudgester too? cos during my time, my OC is considered pretty tamed liao.
But with terror came plenty of welfare as well. The next morning he allowed the entire company to sleep in bunk for the entire morning.
Anyway, as tough as it was under him, it still wasn't as bad as how I thought BMT would be. IMHO, we were already soft on our recruits in my time, and the training's getting softer. -
Well if I looked like that after 5 days of no- shave, I think I belong to the primate family !Originally posted by LazerLordz:Look at his beard.
Actually the only thing I must do as part of field hygiene is to wash my hair regularly. Can't go on for more than 2 days without a wash. My unit 2i/c during reservist was the same. He was an ex-regular and he also had the same " problem". Somehow, he must find a way to clean his hair. And he was an ex-Commando with "overseas" experience too ! -
5 months or 5 years no use... The turnover rate of using the fieldcamp sites in Tekong looks more like 5 days or 5 weeks...Originally posted by Ponders:there haven't been an official study on this.. but there are two unofficial "studies" on breakdown of faeces in soil.
Austrailian Army concluded that it takes up to 5 years to really break down human faeces in soil and that soil is safe for human habitation again.
Another person.. Kathleen Meyer, Author of "how to sh|t outfield" say 5 months before sh|t breaks down.
Dunno who to believe.
Imagine the camp site my coy was using was occupied by another coy when we ended our fieldcamp.
So talk about faeces breakdown...
