When you hear the heart wrenching mourn and cries of Liu Kai's mother, it sends shivers down your spine. You raise your child to maturity only for him to pass on while serving NS. Such a waste.

A or B?

The M113 we had to wash... was siong. Actually using the pressure hose to wash the mud off the vehicle, was not siong. But after that needed to clear the mud away from the washing bay and the manhole... was the killer. Had to jump inside the manhole filled with mud to knee or waist level, then scoop out the mud on wheelbarrow to wheel to outside camp to dump 😓

Did you all go straight to Pasir Ris camp for BMT/BCT? 

During my time, we reported to CMPB, then buses transported us to Hendon directly, because our BMT started in Hendon.

Any air force tech from SBAB?

Didnt know that jurong camp so big until need to walk >1km to the main gate?! Can build up the morale when you can see the civilian world while you are doing your training in your camp, esp can see NTU char bo?! Lol. Dont know during your era, the bus that goes to NTU is 199 or not. Cause i know bus 199 has been going to NTU as long as i could remember. Only later when NIE was house inside NTU and then they run another bus 179 to NTU.

SBAB also from the main road, if there's no MID vehicle, have to walk up to 15mins to reach the main gate.. Thankfully I was driving at that time.

On top of that, I had the license to drive MID vehicles so always give those guys a lift out whenever I'm on duty.

Commando and naval divers are still mono-intake, and will forever be this way, because their tekan and physical trainings are epic and have to start earlier.

Mono-intake means the bus fetch you directly from CMPB to Hendon camp, and the tekan starts from Day 1. 

Suffer or die. Never ask why.

Hopefully there is no more tekan. After so many deaths, you mean there are still people in the saf who don't follow training manual?
