how can like that?

On course days, yes, maybe is like this.

but when posted to unit, we spent a lot of time thinking hor.

after thinking, will divide the workload, then book out time assign who go buy lucheon meat, who go buy maggie mee, who go buy gardenia bread, etc. Apart from food, sometimes also got got rent kungfu novels, and buy mosquito coil, then will be amply prepared for the exercises mah 😆

Me, but I was used to leaves at that time. Poop during outfield was typically hard, long and straight; which was quite easy to wipe using leaves.

In my entire NSF + NS life (more than 20 years), I used the same mess tin. And I have only used the mess tin once, in the jungles of Khanchanaburi to cook a packet of maggi mee. Cos that night really busy than liao. Need some outfield comfort food after eating stone cold ration for so many days.

Would rather eat cold food rather than wash the mess tin. Hahaha.

But to be fair, I have eaten the combat ration cooked by others in the field before. It actually tasted quite ok.

Never ate MRE during my time in SAF at all. Think I missed some thing here. No outfield during BMT too.

 

Cos I from Navy!!!:XD:

Navy has separate BMT? I thought they also have combat rations on board. In case stove fails.

Yup. Previously Navy has our own BMT program. Very different and omitted a lot of army stuff but added a lot of navy stuff. Lots of swimming and fire fighting. 

Combat ration onboard is can food. The usual sardines, luncheon meat and fruit cocktails. Logan and lychee will be first to be gone!!!

For 2 day 1 night mission, I used to open the ration pack, take the apricot bar and pocari, slipped two into my magazine pouch and that was my dinner that day.

Thats why last time so skinny.

As throwing away ration is an offence, we would mix it with some old items and dispose of it at the rubbish dump. So wasteful then.
