Pula tekong firing range has the prettiest night sky in Singapore….no doubt I will never forget the day me and my company sat in the dark looking up looking at the sky full of stars

[@xavtzx7155]

The night sky in Tekong is a beauty. I remember forming up outside the canteen after breakfast/dinner and staring at the moon. By the 3rd time I saw the full moon it was time to POP.

I see the recruits strolling to the range, and replying to their commanders in soft voices that isn't in unison. That's something i only see during reservist...never during bmt.

Yes Nabil is right. I totally underestimate how loud it will be, from the bunk in Rocky Hill, it didn't sound that loud. Mind you, i was a recruit with mild-hearing loss & hearing sensitivity. Don't ask me how come i was combat fit, i dont even know.

[@tenaciousity_9021]

Am proud with this current cohort of new NS recruits. Brings me precious memories when I was in Pulau Tekong in School 1, Bronco Coy. Tyler, jiayous:)

[@imnotrealI]

The name for knot you are tying for the boot laces at 01:36 is actually called a lazy chain(iirc). There has always been a misconception that the idea behind is it looks neat and is easy for you to undo after a long day of training. I've always had a hard time explaining to my troopers why we need to tie our boots this specific way and how come we always enforce this one and only method. Until, I learnt from witnessing an actual rescue on one of my man in my unit, where his evacuation was delayed slightly as they could not get his boots off because this fella decided to come up with his own fancy way of tying his boots. Afterwards I found out from the response team that the reason is actually for emergency cases such as the aforementioned where there is a need to remove your boots quickly. Having this standardised way of tying your boots would allow any other personnel army wide to easily undo your boot laces to save your feet.

[@hiphopdagame]

i remember my time, Weapon Presentation was in the wee hours of the morning, got a sudden wakeup call and needed to rush down fast for the ceremony...

If u r sick go see doctor.. Then get labelled as Chao geng regardless real or fake by the sgts. #truestory

[@user-xs4mu8xm7d]

Because there are really quite a significant number of malingerers out there in a conscript force. This in turns really harms those with legitimate ailments/injuries from sounding out early due to that stigma attached to it, not to mention that there's the guilt of not being able to pull one's weight in a team exercise.
