*re-BMT qn.. need help!
-
hello guys. I just OOTed from BMT tekong due to a bad foot fracture. i heard from some people that most likely i would be posted back for BMT at the end of my service in NS.
My question is, if i go in BMT close to my ORD date as say, a LCP/CPL, do i have to shave botak also? also, how will the training be like since i will be considered quite a 'old-bird' cos gonna ord liao.. will be slack or how? any people who got experience like this before can share? -
Slack one lah don worry ok...just relax...
-
Should be quite slack.
And depends on whether u go back as pes b or pes c. -
will there be a need for the 'recruit haircut'? cos if need to, ORD liao sebei ugly in uni la
-
cut lor.
-
don't you wanna look like him?
-
Yes.
U have to cut botak.
Since when have u heard of long hair recruit?
U may be lcp, cpl or even 3sg, but when doing re course ,ur status is still a TRAINEE. -

Haircut is the same as a recruit.
However, I managed to skip the initial haircut, and got it on my own at the Tekong barber shop. Marine style. My CSM took one look at it..and just chuckled. He couldn't care. -
then how will the specs treat recourse trainees? lets say LCP/CPL? got always kenna half left down and tekan for no father-mother business?
how about the new SBO and field pack? will be issued to us recoursees? -
There was 1 recoursee in my company, he wasn't issued with the new stuffs, was given the recruits' haircut and was given the same training as us.

When you go back on a BMT recourse, you will still need to follow the same regime of a recruit, ie. shave your head...Originally posted by delete20077:hello guys.

Also your rank doesn't carry any weight during the recourse as all are the same...
Whether slack or not, BMT is to equip every soldier the skills of basic military survival and tactical capabilities... -
It all depends on your PES Status.Originally posted by delete20077:then how will the specs treat recourse trainees? lets say LCP/CPL? got always kenna half left down and tekan for no father-mother business?

Sure, it all depends on the ground. If you cooperate with them, they will not make your life hard as well. Rule of thumb, mutual respect is needed.
You are all mature soldiers going back for recourse, not blur kids enlisted for the first time.

If the recruit in question is holding an estab, yes, he can have long hair, especially PES C/E who end in positions before getting the private rank.Originally posted by Patrik:Yes.

one more qn, is there such thing as SAF totally 'forgetting' about OOT personel and they in the end ORD w/o doing BMT, have such incidents since SAF clerical management quite f-ed up

They've been quite on the ball.Originally posted by delete20077:one more qn, is there such thing as SAF totally 'forgetting' about OOT personel and they in the end ORD w/o doing BMT, have such incidents since SAF clerical management quite f-ed up
Don't worry too much about it. Your unit can block one recourse, but a second posting can't be pushed away. And by that time, you may be quite nearing your end of NS, and it's a good break from work..by then. -
Well, there is actually excuse cut hair... I have heard of it..Originally posted by LazerLordz: that's not abt BMT leh.
