Keep an open mind and don't have a too idealised mindset of what the army is like. I've seen many a forummite here boast of wanting to go to CDO and OCS only to get disillusioned and depressed during BMT.
Do not be a kengster who tries to get out of hard work at every opportunity. Once you're marked as the platoon kengster, life will be Absolut Hell for you. The platoon kengster is the most reviled-person of all. -
mai keng.
mai over-garang.
mai wayang too much.
got past threads on this.
why dun u try searching? -

Train a little before enlistment
Be humble alway hide your strengths
Follow the crowd
For instance if u can do 4 pull up initially,just do 2,and improve bit by bit so as to show your sgt that u got improve,if u do 4 starting,they may expected higher results and u may suffer
But also must depend on market rate for instance if your platoon do 6 pull ups,die die u have to try your best,if not u will be isolated,and as the time goes,u may be mark.
To solve this problem,try to mix well with your platoon,be united let each other know how many pull up u are doing beforehand and later do the same together but never ever let your sgts know
Never get yourself injured,because if u are injured u may be excuse for certain activites,whether it real or not,people may think that u are trying to keng,hence your safety is alway the TOP PRIORITY,trust me.
Don't listen to what your instructors say about ocs lah sispec lah those heroic stories and try to be a hero,hero die fast but don't be a clown too,clown will get aim and bully,unless of course if u really made up your mind and want to sign on,then by all means chiong all the way to OCS and be a proud regular officer.
This is one method how my platoon work and enjoy our bmt together. -
hahaha I shall keep all your advice in mind when I go in...
off to search for other similar threads now! be a big favour if anyone could link them here -

Do some simple training. Aim is to get ur body into motion so u will be less likely to get muscle cram, ache during ur BMT if u have not been exercising regularly.
Be prepared to be scolded until "chow tou". One good training is to get a best fren and ask him to unleash the hokkien vocab onto u, remember to use the meanness and most hurtful of language (most likely involve private parts and parents). Why? To get urself numb, yes, totally numb and immune to scolding until the scolding from ur sergeants seems more like singing than scolding.
Prepare mentally as well. Start to do pointless and meaningless stuff like running down stairs to touch a lamp post or changing from one set of clothes to another. Why? So u won't get bonkers from doing senseless and meaningless stuff during BMT.
Get used to regimentation. Start to wake early 5am and do meaningless stuff like drinking lots of water then go eat breakfast then drink alot of water again. Then do some area cleaning, then clean the toilet, then knock it down 20. Drink water again THEN start do exercise. Do this everyday.
Start torturing urself for other ppl mistake. For example, if ur mom forgets something, u do 20 sets of push up. Ur fren late for ur appointment, u do 20 sets of push up, basically, u do 20 sets of push up for other ppl's mistakes. Why? To get u used to SAF style of punishment, if anyone in ur platoon or company f**k up, u will get it even though u might not even be present or related to that f**k up person.
Get in touch with mother nature, go downstairs and roll around in mud and grass, do it for 3 days and dun bathe during these 3 days only powder urself. Why? So u won't freak out during ur field camp. -

Then u have to think smart loh,for instance if no air con,bring your own fan,find some ways to get fan that how i did "take"the workshop fan,as for bolster go to the mess lah take the sofa cusion etc etc,my camp even worse full of mosquitoes just bring some mosquito coil,some things u complain also no use right the environment won't change, so u yourself should help yourself to think of "better" ways to improve the living conditions loh it like that one.Originally posted by STUU:i couldnt really sleep leh!! knn!!! bunk is stuffy n hot... no air con... bed not comfy enough... no bolster hug...miss home... miss civilian life
I don't know why everytime i wear the stupid no 4 ,i can sleep almost anywhere from bed to floor etc the no 4 just make me sleepy hahaaaa,maybe because i sleep more,time will go faster for me to ORD -

Honestly, the best way to survive BMT is to know and cherish your section mates and platoon mates. That way, you won't feel lost, and you'll be much more motivated to do your best and stay optimistic.
Unless you happen to get crap buddies who like to blanket party you. -
