Mine was marching. I had never been in any uniform group before entering NS. I was a boy scout when I was in primary school but that was it. My ECA in school was sports.
When I entered BMT, I really had difficulty marching in step for the first few lessons and got really whacked hard by the instructors. I was fit and one of the larger size guys in the platoon and therefore stood out like a sore thumb on the parade square when I was marching out of sync
Usually the recruits are bluur or sometimes made to look farking bluur.I remember the time when section commanders would tie sticks to soldiers during drills in order to straighten the arms of people born with crooked elbows or unable to fully explain the Malay commands for easy understanding-In this case the corporals and Sargeants are the bluur ones.As for stripping weapons,even Ah Meng the orang Utan can do it with ease if she is properly instructed>

The problem is is when you have NCOs shouting and trying to confuse the recruit

-Which bring us back to blurr question-who is the real bluur.the instructor or the trainee?
