i don't know whelter u all got kena this before but i heard this from my friends.
in some companies in BMT, during Stand-by Bed, there's this picture outside the bunk notice board showing how the various things must be organised right?
sometimes the crazy PS will tekan the recruits by saying everything inside the locker must follow exacty by the picture. so meaning to say, if the picture display 2 set of no.4, 1 pair of green socks and 1 pair of white socks your locker must only have 2 set of no.4, 1 pair of green socks and 1 pair of white socks . and the arrangement of the toothbrush, cup, toliet paper and shaver must also be the same as in the pic. nothing must be inside the locker if the pic don't show item. haha, wonder how the recruits are going to hide the all those extra items.
somemore the powder bottle, insect repellent must be fill to the brink. -

Sch 1 n Sch 2 e format of displaying things r different, even though e cupboards r of e same type. During my time, my company were told to keep e new balance shoes box to display below e drawer level. So what ever is inside n behind ur shoes box is ur own personal space together w e drawer itself. But my friends in Sch 1 chia lat, e personal space is only e drawer, no stuff like shoes box n additional personal space behind it.Originally posted by Gordonator:i don't know whelter u all got kena this before but i heard this from my friends.

N oso different companies gt different rules, sme companies they allow their recs to use e toothpaste, soap, etc that r provided by SAF. But sme companies dun. U hve to buy ur own. E items issused r 4 pai sui only cannot use them. My bunk mate went to open e wrapper n used e bar of soap issued to him, than stand by bed, was told by e PS to go n get a new one, must b e same brand somemore. He had to even knocked it dwn for it n e PS questioned him "Who ask u to use wan" HAHAHA
Than different specs gt different standards, sme wan ur 3 vest to fold in such a way so that when being stack up, can c e word ARMY. Some dun need, just gt 3 vest folded can liao. N I rem tis case we were told to roll up e socks so that it gave a smiling face when being displayed. a "U" shape. All along was ok, than suddenly another spec came in n knocked us dwn for displaying e smiling face. He said should be displayed e other way. A sad face. A "n" shaped. LPPL -

life is a suffering in itself - no one's life is a bed of roses. if u r not born in singapore, u will be fretting over another set of sufferings. why all these are so painful, why be born and alive at all?
it's all a matter of perception. -
haha. my PS is also the 1 who wanted us to fold our admin vests so that can see the word ARMY.Originally posted by contact_thatslife:Than different specs gt different standards, sme wan ur 3 vest to fold in such a way so that when being stack up, can c e word ARMY.

LPPL as for the socks. got 1 time stand-by bed, because my socks are wet, so i put in a new pair of socks (still in plastic cover, never open before). when my sec com saw it, he ask me, "why? want to preserve the socks is it?" LOL! i quickly took out the socks from the plastic. -

You mean standards are no longer as rigid nowadays? ~lol~ You just described my own experience. FYI To get by, we resorted to setting aside one set of stand-by-cupboard equipment (toiletries, SAF uniforms - i.e. we had one pair less to wear for actual training) for such purposes, often standardized-wrapped to meet standby FBO criteria as well. These stuff went untouched for the whole NS period, & were still brand new by the time we ORD'd.

Gosh, I remember we had to buy brown tracing paper to line up the top shelves, plus hang an orange polishing cloth to block out the bottom shelves. The latter's more for BMT; all your barang - except shoes - at the combat unit must be kept inside a civilian bag stored in the same locker place. I can recall memorably being punished for folding my blanket differently (Tekong-taught vs. mono-intake version) as well.
Our mentality was that we normal peng had it good; the then-contemporary OCS cadets went through even more stifling regimentation for a whole 9 months!
