IF school 2 on 19th. You will be going Scorpion or Viper company.
Don't ask what the signigicance is but you will find out especially why if you posted to Scorpion.
Anyway, that letter of yours, show it to your Platoon Commander during the first 48 hour compulsory interview. He'd most prolly ask you to bring it to Medical Officer for endorsement.
As for what the process will be that day, you go to a building, surrender IC, get a piece of paper + green IC and ID tags. (piece of paper goes to parents).
Then you go auditorium for a rehearsal of the swearing in followed by actual swearing in. Then you go lunch/dinner with parents then you send them off.
From then on, you collect your equipment, then check the equipment, then try it for size. When you happy, sign. Sometimes you sign first then try the size. (see below)
You happy liao and once everybody is happy with their equipment... you all go get new hairstyle ($2). Don't bother getting hair cut outside, Tekong barber says it has to be "approved" by them. quite stupid actually because he will say if trimmer cuts anyhair, he will charge $2, then he will press hard to make sure he cuts some hair.
After new hairstyle it's most probably admin work already. fill up forms, declare drugs abuse, etc etc. You will be briefed on discipline, rules, etc etc.
Equipment to be issued:
WHEN you surrender IC, you will be given a black sling pack.
At the company line (your bunk) you will be issued.
1 field pack,
1 black duffel bag with wheels.
1 helmet + camou net
2 pairs of boots
5 green socks 2 white socks (which you won't get to use in school 2)
5 sets camouflage uniform + sewing kit
1 pair of running shoes
2 t-shirt
2 singlet
2 shorts
1 belt
1 pair of garters
1 jockey cap
1 set if 2 mess tin
1 mess mug
1 green mug
1 set of utensil
1 toothbrush
1 toothpaste
1 soap and soap box
1 dental floss
1 toiletries bag
1 toggle rope
1 webbing (army bra)
2 water bottle + pouches
1 pair ear plugs
2 tin shoe polish + 1 brush
1 jack knife (victorinox)
did i miss anything out?
after 1-2 days, you will be issued
1 or 2 set of camou cream
2 insect repellant (burns)
black rubber bands
1 notebook
1 thermometer
1 Gore-tex jacket (suggest you write name on it, highly priced item as only PES A/B personnel are issued and not replaceable by credit) -

Coz I've been sick for a few months so tat time I was exempted from NAPFA, and after tat, I juz lost all my stamina...so rather scared I wun be able to complete 2.4km at once, alive...haha ~ -
PTP is about physical trg and getting used to the military regime.Originally posted by iamwhoiam:Thx, and happy birthday in advance ~

ptp is not as siong as bmt as ptp did circuit training (most siong), et run, ippt training, 3km road march etc etc
they will not force u to run 2.4km within a short time at first
they needs time to train your fitness -
dun worry ... theres a lot of slack time for ptp... im also from ptp batch.. now im in bmt phase..
no slack time at all!!
haiz... bookin in tonite once again..............

For me, even BMT is my slackest time in my NSF life so far...Originally posted by kY|e-_-o:dun worry ... theres a lot of slack time for ptp... im also from ptp batch.. now im in bmt phase.. no slack time at all!!

Just wait till you pass out, and you get your posting. If you are lucky, BMT can be the last worst thing you ever will go through. For me, it was the start. But what the heck, I am enjoying the adrenelin anyway, so can't really mind.
On another note, try not to make any enemies in BMT, because you never know when some of them are going to rise higher and faster than you, and you won't like it.
I have this friend (an OCT) whom I love to irritate (and irritate I do, even now). He told me (with a sinister smirk on his face) of what he would do when he comissions. But what the hell, I would just irritate him even more... Hehehe. -
wat would he do? wat can he do?Originally posted by pkchukiss:I have this friend (an OCT) whom I love to irritate (and irritate I do, even now). He told me (with a sinister smirk on his face) of what he would do when he comissions. But what the hell, I would just irritate him even more... Hehehe. -
