good idea to have laundry service in camp?
-
maybe the camp commandant can arrange for a laundry company to provide laundry service in camp....
eg. the laundry co. van comes every twice a week. eg. tuesday n thursday, at a certain timing. it will then go to the unit or company line, where the soldiers would be waiting with their stinky smart 4 n worn clothings in a bag marked with their names.
they would then hand over their laundry to the co., n then the co. goes back to their shop to wash their uniform, n then return the clean washed n ironed uniform back to the soldiers.
then these soldiers would be billed at the end of the month.
n if any changes in the collection/delivery timing or day (eg. due to outfield exercises), the company clerk would have to inform the laundry company.
good idea bo? can include in ur USMS...

What's wrong with not bringing in your own pail to wash the uniforms?
In my time, a lot of us eventually got around to doing this after settling into unit life. Usually, it's done Friday night or Sunday morn -- 15 minutes of rigorous washing, tops, with free water supply & the whole bathroom floor to splash it on -- & then hanging them indoors to dry over the weekend before we booked out.
That siong, meh? Aren't you already washing your dirty underwears daily? -

Want massage service too?
What about manicure/pedicure? -
I remember my old camp as well as Khatib Camp used to have coin-operated washing machines, except they were located in the canteen & so must trek all the way there. Still, they were popular with some spendthrifts.
For my first few ICTs, when we were subject to 8-9 day EXs for the first time, my RQ had organized a laundry service too. He used to rotate ferrying two sets of issued used uniforms every 3 days or so for the outfield reservists, though I never found out who he did business with, or whether our BN fund paid for the service. Same thing happened in ROC, with the Temasek greens. -

My time in Nee Soon camp in the 1980s.... there was a Indian runned laundry. The old fashioned way... they boiled your clothes in large tubs of water. Then they hang up under a shed to dry.
It is reasonably clean but somehow because they use some kind of cheap soap powder, the uniforms don't smell very nice.
Service was quite good, they will come and collect your dirty laundry on a Friday evening. You can either collect from their shed any day, or they will bring to you on a Sunday evening.
I remember it costs 50 cents for each piece... so for a no. 4 , it cost me $ 1. -

Yeah it was. My sergeant's pay was like $ 450 p.m. or something....Originally posted by hisoka:A piece and its the 1980s?

Anyway, my mother got fed up of washing for me. I only got a girlfriend in my last 9 months of NS, but she only volunteered occasionally to wash for me, as she was working full time.
Most of the time, I did not have the time to wash and dry my clothes.
