NCC lols....btw how long is your route march? 5km? 10km? Normally during the army when route march is 10km or further we will get abrasion or foot blister. To prevent from getting abrasion there are 2 methods to do it, one is to apply olive oil. Yes, olive oil do help to ease the friction of our skins rubbing against each other.

2nd method is to wear tight shorts, you know those professional cyclist that they wear? That shorts or pants can help too but it might get a little stuffy for my brother below...lol

No, i think they just never change their pants for the whole 3-4 day tingy, don't bathe and end up with the abrasion.

PTP is to improve your physical fitness there will be no route march at all, however you will be tekan by the PTI. Yes, don't laugh when you are in the PTP phase, you don't greet them by their name, rank or whatever donkey names. When he ask you to knock it down you jolly do it fast or else you going to suffer or even worst your platoon mates will suffer because for the mistake you made. By the time he ask you to recover, you have to shout THANK YOU PTI!!!

Yup, that's about it during the PTP phase. Hope you really enjoy it

abrasions... are usually caused by vigorous contact between sweaty muscles. if u have the chance, pls wash them like how you oil gears. sometimes it may even lead to fungus growth like ringworms.

To prevent skin chafing, wear "worn" clothing/gear (those that rub less against the body) & powder the vulnerable areas (groin, inner thighs, armpits, nipples) regularly to keep dry, while also staying hydrated (to permit sweating freely). Can also use petroleum jelly like Vaseline, but they're more for marathon runners than route-marchers.

lols. my armpit abrasions is kena when we knock in #4 tt time.

cos the velcro always go up until my armpit there. so alot of friction there.

The arm <-> sleeve<-> velcro<-> armpit
