locker key

When start issue number locks? My time was still lock and key and our PS forbid anyone from using number lock. Maybe just my platoon suay i dunno.Originally posted by whitenoise:Yes, it's allowed. Tekong issues Abus number locks which are of acceptable quality. -
You'll be drilled to wear your ID tags all the time from the first day onwards -- inc. during bathing/sleeping -- so everyone tends to tie their cupboard key to the bootlace-necklace too. Don't worry, it'll become a habit. (Old birds & reservists also tie the chain to the No.4 trousers belt loop, with the tags/key sliding into the side pocket.)
Just dead-knot your key & each tag appropriately apart, so that none can strike one another.[/quote] -

Huh? What sling bag?
No need to carry 11-B all the time either, unless the unit requires you to scan it during meal-times.
Must pretty much wear the tags 24/7 (so to speak) if you're combat, period. Geddit? -

Sorry to side track a bit from the main topic.Originally posted by LazerLordz:
I hated food thieves. My pringles would go missing by the first night of booking-in.
Talking about food thieves, there was one section mate of mine in BMTC who never buy any food for himself or others. He alway ate others' food. There was one time I saw him rummaging another section mate's cupboard for food. -
i thought now all issue number locks liao?

If use number locks it'll be a theif paradise, they so easy to crack if u know well enough. Last time got once we play a game supposed to ans alot of maths qns to unlock the no. lock, in the end we cheat n juz open the lock without doing the qns.Originally posted by xunmengzitu:i thought now all issue number locks liao? -

ID tag if with keys can still fit into the card holder meh?Originally posted by stellazio:my 11b and id tag is always in that same piece of card holder that they issued to us.
Normally i just leave it in the sling bag if i'm required to bring sling bag down for activity if not just keep in pocket.
I never ever take 11B with me to any activity except to meals. -
nowadays BMT mate so not trusting one meh....during my time....not even bother to lock during shower time.

Last time recruits used the China Bag. Now we use a black sling bag with a Mindef logo at the front. It looks damn gay and is super flimsy. I bought a better quality one at the army market for 8 dollars.Originally posted by blitzonic:Huh? What sling bag?

Oh, I see. Last, last time no bag ~lol~ Some more, wore those FBT-brand shorts (SAF-issued), with a front coin pocket that felt a third testicle if you carry too much change in it. A wallet must be carried bi-folded over the elastic waistband too.
Hence everyone would learn to dress spartan, or to improvise. With PT kit, it meant rolling cigarette packs up the sleeve Ah-Beng style (acceptable in unit life, but wearing a single stick over the ear wasn't) & also using the socks to store garage keys or whatever.
Personally, I found number & combination locks useless -- anything with a 3 or 4-digit code can be easily cracked. Best is still the traditional padlock, ideally one that clamps the key inside whenever it's unlocked. That way, when tied to your ID tags, you'll always know where they all are. Habitually, they'll be either around your neck, or left temporarily hooked onto the cupboard door handle, or tied to the No.4 trousers belt loop.
PT time? Wear it, loh ~shrug~ Just like for SOC, BTP/ATP, BIC/BAC/BCCT, all field EXs, guard-duties & unit standbys. -
I always load my locker with potato chips, cheezels, mammi, twisties and at least 6 cup noodles when I book in last time.....
sometime not enough then ask those who bothers to go nights off buy or sometime go out buy... -
waa...next time SAF also issue underwear liao...Originally posted by whitenoise:Yes, it's allowed. Tekong issues Abus number locks which are of acceptable quality. -
I think I only physically wore my ID Tag for...less than 3 times in 2 years.Originally posted by blitzonic:You'll be drilled to wear your ID tags all the time from the first day onwards -- inc. during bathing/sleeping -- so everyone tends to tie their cupboard key to the bootlace-necklace too.
