  So those HQs aren't considered combat units?

  
  That's my mindset too...time really slow down when staying in.

  Do you have to book in tonight?

  So now when you're off duty, what do you do in the bunk after work? nothing?

  I think that depends on the people.

  Take for example, I have stay out colleagues who aren't even in the same branch as me but we bond pretty well.

  Just because a group of people stay in together doesn't necessarily mean they will bond together.

  Take of example, there is this guy in my bunk and most of my bunkmates dislike/hate him.

  Last time we do not have a proper bunk and the TV suck...also we do not have PS unlike now...so some of us bring VCR tapes to watch or sometimes we do cleared some of the backlog work in the daytime.....usually when everyone left, we get dinner....last time cookhouse food also suck so we usually get from outside...that's abt it for the evening......only thing is mending the phone at night...

  Nowadays, almost all ICT personnels need to stay in for 2 weeks each time. They just want to confine you.

  They (wearing no.4) chiong sua, we (wearing no.3) also "chiong sua" mentally.

  Physically stress can be cured by a day rest, mentally stress might or might not be cured by a day rest.

  Mine is the previous CO before I enlisted.

  
  If that's the case, why don't you put on the LBV, helmet and spend the rest of your NS life lugging the field pack and the rifle?

  Don't come here and seek sympathy, if that many people can suck thumb and take it on their chin... Then  stop whining..

  Heard of C9L9 soldiers combing the forest? I bet you didn't.. Now have a cuppa of stfu..

  Sorry but i cant help it. Stay in stay in lar. Clerk big fark is it? No need to chiong sua already gd, so what more u want? Wana ask the CO to prepare a queen size bed for u or not? If u can keng to stay out, gd for u, but whining here will not do u gd, it will only make ppl that lan lan have to stay in, more dulan.

  Today = REST day... 24 hour shift, so technically we get 1 REST day..

  Tomorrow = OFF day.. but on standby, of course..
