it depends onOriginally posted by firewizard:er..for regulars...when can they book out? on weekends?..tks for answering my questions =)
1. the job scope
2. the unit requirement
for example, staff officers work 8 to 5 - working you see. however, if you are with a combat unit which is currently in training phase, there may be a requirement for you to stay in, especially if you are doing your PC tour.
you seemed very concerned about this booking out thing. if you intend to sign on, you must understand that you have to go by the requirements of the work, and this may mean staying in (whether its for an extended period or from time to time). however if you are just going to serve your ns, you can go by the "worst case" assumption (which is usually correct, since a NSF can only be deployed to that many vocations) that you need to stay in. and of course, book out during weekends. -
The only trainees that get to go home everyday are from OETI and SMP.Originally posted by Gordonator:as a trainee, regardless of whether u are a NSF or a regular, u have to stay in. u can take urgent leave or off with permission from your superiors. -
The funny thing is when I was doing my BMT, we are told that we are not allowed to be half-naked and walk around the corridor. There was complained (I dunno is it from female RECs or female officers) that we look naked when they are looking up from ground floorOriginally posted by Gordonator:most recruits in BMT like to take off their shirt when they are in the bunk due to the hot and humid weather, especially after training. as for shower, everyone will shower inside a single cubicle without doors.
if u are not confident of showing your body, u can always wear the army singlet in the bunk. training wise, singlet must be wore at all time.

Got once M & W coys had a NE lecture by CO, M Coy had 33 ATT C cases. scary.Originally posted by kumokumo:What are the welfare coys and the xiong coys now?
One of the sirs from another platoon told me that in School 2, the garang ones are M, T and V coys. Just to take note.
BTW maybe we can have a list of the BMTC coys, just a suggestion. I know School 1 had some of the coys renamed. -

If you are asking about my batch which POC/Ped on 7 June, L Coy is notorious for its high DB rate. My coy and L Coy had direct clashes during games day. I went in front of their mascot, clashing two ET sticks like a madman, when they charged at us, to protect our mascot.Originally posted by be_a_man:i'll be enlisting on 22july which is a friday..so how to count the end of confidement? 22-24july consider a week? or until the next friday 29july?
