  any infantry training at tekong is NOT fun.
  Basic Military Training don't have TES.

  TES a.k.a Tactical Engagement System.Played it 5 times during Army Open House 2004.well its sort of a replacement for the older MILES a.k.a Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System.
  
  Well the newer TES in my opinion is alot lighter then the older MILES as the MILES is heavier,cumbersome and the laser emitting unit is a friggin' lage attachment which is mounted on the barrel of the weapon,this tends to affect aim.
  
  Well,prefer the new TES system as it is so much lighter,more practical and user friendly.The MILES once you are shot,regardless in which part,you are DEAD!However,the TES system is more realistic as shots hitting on-essential parts will not result the trainee in being killed.This can be an advantage or disadvantage.As MILES will ensure the soldier will try whatever means not to get killed,while in TES the soldier may adopt the reverse mantality thus defeating the training purpose.
  
  And BMT recruits nt gonna handle TES,will only be done in SISPEC or OCS if I'm not mistaken.Those in combat units on exercises may use it too.Lastly,if you wanna play it all the time,try getting into 3 SIR.

  Of course expensive lah. An oversized neon orange coloured ping pong ball can set you back $200 already, still want to talk about electronics.

  I have very low opinion of MILES... Wore it during ATEC but hardly anyone I know gets declared casualty because of a enemy MILES shot... usually is stoopid controller just anyhow walk and throw casaulty card...
  
  And its unreliable... once I shot myself just because I trigger the device when I slam my rifle on the ground...
  
  It's cumbersome and worse is after you overran the enemy, you realised they dun even have MILES...
