  BOC stand for what ? Basic officer course ?

  I know that go ERS pass out comfirm Sgt , if you are top 5% , then you go officer course , then be 2LT

  If you really cant make it through ERS , you will be sent back to BRTC , if not they post you out from there for other vocation

  Btw , ERS usually take Diploma or some Nitec ppl , if you are those potential ones , O lvl they will take 1 or 2

  PTP stage? quite slack la.

  morning wake up around 5? do morning exercises. that one quite sian, because i'm not a morning person, then if everyone don't count together, start from 0 again. lol.

  then breakfast, food usually quite tasteless and bland, the best is bread and hotdog and hard boiled eggs with jam and butter. the nasi lemak sometimes can get diarrhoea.

  then after breakfast is, area cleaning, last time old camp alot of leaves, then must sweep them up. now the new CDA should be ok.

  the first 2 days alot of talks at the air-conditioned hall. talk about suicide, if you feel troubled, who to talk to, why is NS important etc. given by various company's OC.

  then will have various exercises throughout the day. sometimes gym, conditioning training, stamina training, and reflexes training - psychomotor training. you will also have footdrill lessons

  then lunch. the first day the lunch confirm is nasi bryani. then for the rest of your NS life is mix vege rice la etc.

  then after lunch, can be area cleaning abit. SRB will be the one cleaning the sink and emptying the rubbish bins (you lucky bastards), so please don't mess up the area..

  after that can be rest abit, polish boots whatever..

  then resume exercises - should be gym la.

  then dinner - again, mix vege rice.

  then rest - watch everyone else book out. and you spend the time, washing clothes, resting, doing watever you want. 10pm, lights out.

   

  anyone can re-confirm? i am not sure if i remember correctly

  no need to bring too much cash & if possible hp that is not so "striking" without camera is the best..

  you'll get your uniform & stuffs you need on your 1st day when you enlist & as for the training hours, you'll need to refer to the schedule that will be posted on the notice board outside your bunk..

  thanks... that's very comprehensive haha. but i'm BRT, is it the same?

  as for clothes ah. i remember last time i carry an ali baba bag, then just queue up for clothes and uniform.

  but now, what they do is they just pile up everything there, and SRB will be hanging around like wolves, wanting to grab some new shirts or uniforms etc. lol.

  then they will slowly give out the uniforms and stuff to the new recruits lor.

  then u guys go back to change.

   

  oh also got shave head session
