ok. now another new set: useful things to bring when u enlist.
1. ziploc bags of various sizes*
2. plastic bags*
3. extra handfone batteries*
4. sano-plast (dunno how to spell; basically some cream or oil for muscle aches!)
5. small torch (for use after lights off)*
6. some washing powder (for clothes washing)
7. clothes hanger (no need alot since they will probably want to standardise eventually)*
8. pegs (as many as possible)*
9. lock - usually not number locks as they will require you to pass one set of keys to your buddy
10. slippers*
11. tupperware for food like biscuits, etc.
12. black tape*
13. scissors/ cutter
14. pencil/pen*
15. clear tape
16. perm marker - for writing ur name / 4D number on items
17. snake powder - that is what they would recommend usually; you will get saf powder too.
18. extra batteries for your receiver, torch, etc
19. cloth for cleaning
20. nail cutter*
21. rubber bands (normal and those black thick ones)
22. masking tape
23. coins (for vending machine, payfones)*
24. orange cloth (you will need to get eventually, but you can get it inside too)
25. underwear (more! disposables are usually not recommended)*
26. own clothes for sleeping if u need
27. black string (for various purposes like securing items, tying your ID tag)*
28. small mirror (you can get inside too; for applying camo)
of course during bmt you wont have to have and you are likely not allowed to have certain things u want to get yourself (e.g. own torchlight, compass). this just serves as a guide.
and a standard rule of thumb: always secure all your items! i secure things like the torchlight and even jackknife to my sbo.
in both lists the * items are more important.

take note since u r going for PTP most of these items are not required - PTP has no outfield training, and is more on physical training and discipline and adapting to the military lifestyle.
yes indeed! u may wish to consider bringing in some food like biscuits. but do bring containers for them too.
other things can be like
toiletries - bring your own, and use the set they issue to you for inspection ONLY
hm.. anyone anything else to add? -
o cos there are also things NOT to bring:
handfone charger
lewd publications / materials
imitation media / materials
handphone with camera
too much money or valuables
on the same note, please DO bring a good lock - NOT number lock - for your cupboard. -

hm.. as long as u can convince them the camera has been removed i guess.Originally posted by 01024G:If don't bring in the camera of those hp whose camera can be detached, can bring the hp in a not? -
Ok, thanks. That means I can buy those type of hp.

Best juz to get a cheap phone.Originally posted by 01024G:Ok, thanks. That means I can buy those type of hp.
If lost, no worries 'Cos I've heard of many cases of lost/misplaced hp inside....
And never ever use hp in the middle of the night after lights out! Not only sabo urself, end up the WHOLE coy may just get to do some midnight marching and PT training. -

Why cannot bring HP changer.... batterires finish how

cos they wont allow u to use. if everyone uses electricity there to charge their bills will be exorbitant. wat i did tt time was to bring coins, fone card and extra hp batt. u wil be surprised - since everyone is using hp now no one uses the public fones so i could use them without having to queue and all. cheaper too.Originally posted by ryangian:Why cannot bring HP changer.... batterires finish how -
