Items allowed in SAF
-
For Recruits/Enlistees:
There are couple of items which are allowed in the SAF as a form of personal recreation during free time in Bunk or for other purposes.
Entertainment
1- Magazines (R21/ Uncensored Pictures; Pornographic Materials Aren't Allowed; Maxim, NewMan, FHM are allowed Magazines)
2- Story Books; Novels; Comic
3- Games: Chess, Uno, Bingo, Reversi etc. (Poker Cards Not Allowed)
4- PSP*
5- DS*
6- MP3/4*
7- None Camera Phones (Common Knowledge)
8- Loud Speakers (That is if you willing to share music with the whole Bunk)
Toiletries
9- Additional own towel (it could be just for cleaning of face in the morning; you can choose to buy the SAF green colour $2.50 in E-mart or bring along your own)
10- Facial Wash
11- Powder (Sometimes, there's no time for you to shower thus there's a need for powder bath)
12- Shaving Gel/Cream
13- Handy Plasters
14- Ankle/Knee/Elbow Guards for people with previous history of injuries.
15- Shower Form/Gel (which can easily wash off Camo-Cream)
Rainbath shower gel washes off the camo cream quite easily followed by Dettol.
Facial Scrub might help only to a little, since I've tried it myself, Biore isn't that good for washing off Camo-cream
Food
15- Three/Four In One Drinks (Must be inside sachets)
16- Energy Drink Powder
17- Protein Powder
18- Food-Supplements
19- Sweets
Others:
20- Cigarettes (Max: 2 packet per person)
For Food, it varies depending in individual company;
If there's history of Rats in that level of your company, than it's advised not to bring food in; You wouldn't want to see your items all in a mess.
* - Must not have removable memory card inside
Note: Expensive Items might be easily lost inside SAF since there are people who can't afford to buy such items* thus if anybody want to bring it inside, exercise pre-caution and don't anyhow misplace it.
[UPDATED 271107] -
If you bring speakers, two things may happen.
1. You'll be loved.
2. It'll be stolen.
As for facial wash, the Gatsby wash isn't too bad. Get the one for oily skin, it works well for post-exercise cleanup back in bunk. -
suggest sticky for this if possible
-
BTW, allowed or not depends quite abit by Company's management. if csm say cannot bring PSP/DS etc means cannot bring though some other Coy's management allows. so act with discretion.

When were FHM allowed? It was illegal during my time or at least my coy. Any FHM you bring into camp goes to ur spec unless you were lucky enough to escape inspection.Originally posted by LazerLordz:No lah, got guitar, UNO cards, FHM/Cleo and of course some of us did sketches and poetry lor. -

It's dependant on the Company, though the instructors during my BMT did want priority reading for the night of the book-in.Originally posted by dkcx:When were FHM allowed?

During my recourse, it was "anything goes".

In army you are not trained to think so even the rules are made by people who don't think outside the box. What you expect?Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Um not really u could play fishing, war, cheat, heart attcack, spoons and a million other games which dont involve gambling lol. -
It's got to do with maintaining a disciplined, military bearing.Originally posted by wetdreamX:shaver? do ppl inside shave from time to time maintaining short botak?

I think the SAF should amend recruits' hairstyle to the Marines high and tight. It will actually improve morale, as it allows them to maintain discipline while not looking much like a cock.Originally posted by Rockhound:commanders Jarhead Mohawk..

You do not need to maintain the botak, every 3 wks or so the barber will come to help you maintain it. Skinhead is a chargerable offence i think.Originally posted by wetdreamX:shaver? do ppl inside shave from time to time maintaining short botak?

Got once my platoon got people didn't cut skinhead but close enough, instead of the typical 2 1 they cut 1 thrughout but that was because my PS told them wrongly so he accepted the blame when people question.
If you want to feel the comforts of your home, you better don't meddle with the hair on your head as when your pink ic left your hands, your management over your head also went to SAF and now that area belongs to them. -
