1st day, take fastcraft to tekong, enjoy the nice sea view. upon reaching proceed to waiting area to surrender your IC. your 11B, ID tag will be given to u. then go into auditorium. the BMTC commander will come out brief u all followed by oath taking. after that have lunch with your family at the cook house.Originally posted by bent:On the 1st day where report to Tekong is do what ar?

after lunch say goodbye to your family, after the parents have left. fall in march to company line, all your barang barang will be issued to u. check through all the stores. carry all of them to your bunk. try out your uniform, jocky cap, boots everything, too big too small sound out to your sergeant and a change will be made.
after settling down, get all your stuff into the cupboard, fall in in admin attire and go for haircut.
followed by admin work later, like filling up the blue booklet, more misc items like toliet paper, notebook and pen will be issued.
before u know it, dinner liao. -

I remember sitting at the swimming pool bleachers and it was three days before Christmas.The sun was setting and I could see planes take off in larger quantities, people flying abroad for their holidays and in front of me, everyone was doing "buddha claps" as ordered by the PTIs.Originally posted by mr_sotong:my 1st night was hearing the noise produce my the jet engine...
It was a reflective moment and hell, I missed my girl loads at that very moment.
