my platoon was damn strict on bringing things in during the last 3 book-ins that everyone got a pat down search, everything in pockets of clothing brought in, bags were searched thoroughly, handphones were inspected very thoroughly.
they seem more scared we brought in more dust than camera phones

You won't want a "TURN OUT! TURN OUT!" when you are about to lights out...
or when you are just back from field camp and super shagged, only to find someone's handphone lost.
worst case....
"STAND BY UNIVERSE IN FORTY FIVE MINUTES! YOUR FORTY FIVE MINUTES STARTED THIRTY MINUTES AGO! BEDS! CUPBOARDS! TURN OUT TURN OUT!" -

i was thinking, isn't it a good idea to issue small umbrellas to the recruits? cos i believe most recuits don't carry an umbrella with them when they book out right? will be useful when it rains.

for PES C peeps like me.. they just tell us to go buy poncho lor.. only $2 only.. -
During outfield when it rains, you dun have a shelter under your head. Use to protect yourself from the rain...Originally posted by kuekj:then what's their goretex jacket for?

don't think recruits bring along their goretex when booking out. don't think fieldpack got enough space.Originally posted by kuekj:then what's their goretex jacket for?
for PES C peeps like me.. they just tell us to go buy poncho lor.. only $2 only..
anyway as for poncho, will be freaking weird right seeing them wear it in mainland singapore?
