Admin time is free time given to you in NS where you can do whatever you please. This is normally at night after dinner if theres no night training till lights out at 2230.Originally posted by y33bas:what is admin time? (paiseh havent go NS yet) -
cool..din noe that..BMT also got admin time mah?
-
Yes there is. It isn't alot at the beginning but near POP there might even be days when the whole day is admin time if you pass IPPT.Originally posted by y33bas:cool..din noe that..BMT also got admin time mah?
Your first few days of admin time will mostly be spent settling ur helment, LBV, field pack etc etc to get them ready for the first route march which should be 2nd-3rd week for PTP or 2nd week for BMT. After that most of the admin time is yours unless your specs decide otherwise...
Entering tekong next yr? -

Poly intake in Jun/Sept or Jul/Oct if you pass napfa.Originally posted by y33bas:yea lo..poly graduating in april..wondering when would my letter arrive. =((
Don't worry about the letter so much, last time i went for checkup in nov and only got letter around Apr or May for sept intake.
If you have questions feel free to ask but just notice what sort of topics are being condemn by people here and avoid being single out like 1 someone

before u know it, the battery already goes flat..Originally posted by LazerLordz: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.
lol..
to bring loud-speakers, you have to be of good bonding with your bunk-mates first before bringing it in thus the min trust level is there.
stolen cases, so far so good for my platoon..
other than my field-camp items being stolen after coming back to company line after field-camp..
-
if you want to go in earlier, than u can volunteer yourself for early enlistment to save time.Originally posted by y33bas:yea lo..poly graduating in april..wondering when would my letter arrive. =((
for me, i waited for at least 1 yr and a few months before going in, thus lots of time is wasted. -

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.
[b]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.

Pork floss, man! ~lol~ My recce group used to pool money together for the stuff during field EXs in the old days. The other (cheap) end of the canned foods we used to buy were the braised peanuts, which cost only 40 cents a tin. That way, no matter how tired/no appetite were were & how bad the army food was, meals were still palpable with those two garnishes.
