for you guys out there

I got this from my rj OGL. Seems kinda helpful for you guys enlisting into the army soon. I copied the relevant parts, hope it's of help to you people before you get the full story from heng. Take care! :)

For the army boys: Ok so you're probably enlisting soon so play hard before you go in. But do prepare before you go in. It'll really make life much easier for you. So you might want to make a trip down to army market.

Things to expect:When you go in, you'll get a 2 week confinement, so bring the necessary stuff like:
-extra underwear (boxers are not allowed)
-toiletries (they do provide you with a Gillette shaver, toothbrush and toothpaste but you have to use your own toilet roll)
-Snake brand powder (very useful)
-Wet wipes (for area cleaning or other purposes)
-Cheap sandals to wear around in bunk ($2 kind)
-Detergent (I recommend getting the liquid kind. much easier to handle put it into a bottle)
-extra black shorts (the brown shirts which you will most probably be wearing isn't available at beach road last i know)
-safety pins (rifle component. gets lost often as it's tiny so saves you an extra if you have spares)
-Cup noodles and snacks! (but check with your officers first)
i can't remember what else i needed but anyway.

They'll provide you with 5 sets of No 4 (the green normal ones), 2 sets of boots, 2 sets of shorts and t-shirts (admin they call it) and 2 PTattire.
Liquid shoe polish isn't allowed (just don't get caught though) but all you have to do is keep your boots black (might want to consider getting extra kiwi and brush)

You can get most of the stuff you need during the e-mart break which you may have (depending on your officers) but most likely you won't really have sufficient points to buy much yet (yea points they give you to spend so you don't have to pay by cash).
You wake up 5.30 everyday and sleep at 10.30
Get used to drinking lots of water. Water parades happen like ALL THE TIME in the army. Keeps you hydrated which is good.

The roti-john at the canteen is awesome (the malay one, there are 2 canteens) Go try it if you get the chance.Oh and yeah, you get $350 pay

Anyway you'll be sleeping in a 12 men bunk known as a section. You'll have an individual section instructor who's probably a sergeant. The discipline master is known as the sergeant major (he's the guy who gives you extras so you can't go home during the weekends) so don't piss him off. 4 sections/bunks on 1 floor form a platoon who's headedby a platoon commander (aka PC) who's an officer / 2LT. There will also be a platoon sergeant (higher ranking sergeant guy). You address officers as SIRS and specialists as SERGEANTS (they're quite picky about this). So 4 platoons eventually make a company who is under your officer in command (OC). (biggest boss there) You won't see much of your friends in other companies though sadly, much less the other school.

Some other things to note, there are 2 schools, school 1 and school 2.School 2 if you're in Mohawk or Ninja company, watch out, just try to survive. Mohawk is discipline freak and ninja is just crazy. If you're in Leopard, you're in the scholar company so good for you.

Oh and lastly but most importantly, you'll be assigned a buddy for the entire duration of your BMT life. Take care of him and get him to lookout for you as well. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. Life will be so much better if the 2 of you work together. Besides your rifle who will be your wife, he is the next most important person.

For the PSC scholars wannabes:
Ok for the guys applying for PSC, if you want a military or police scholarship, you need to be combat fit.
Finish BMT and get into OCS.
If you're in leopard scholar company, that's half a step there but even if you're not, fret not.
But the most important thing is to qualify into DELTA WING of OCS. And in there good luck to you (I had even more fun there than in BMT haha)
Every SAFOS/SPFOS SAFMS and SPFMS scholar has been for Delta wing,including all president scholars.
And yah, do work on your essays and interviews.
PSC likes UK, so do apply there. They don't seem to like only USA applicants.
Current affairs is extremely important. (They asked me about the Virginia Tech university killings on the day it was reported!)
Anyway eventually the interview will be at the national library where you sit in front of a panel of many senior people and let them interview you. Just be true to yourself =)
Good luck!

For the peeps applying for Med school:
Alright the format for getting in involves sending in your portfolio and stuff including an essay, your resume/CCA record and teachers' recommendation so do inform your tutors if you're applying (although there's no need to do so so early)
There will be a timed essay portion following which you will have to go through 2 interviews. 1 by teaching staff (more important) and another by doctors (more casual). If you do make it to the interview you will not be allowed to reapply though.

Medical current affairs is rather important (so do read up, they ask things like HOTA, know your health ministers and health policies stufflike that) and they also tend to ask you about what you wrote in your essay so come prepared to explain to them your views and opinions.Oh yah and expect standard questions like why do you want to be adoctor. You should already know this =P

They also value attachments. They want to see you know what you're getting into and you know the sacrifices it takes to become a good doctor. So do arrange for one. it'll be easier for the girls but the guys can arrange for attachments during your BMT break if you haven't gone for one before. Just write to the hospitals, now's a good time to do so actually.

That's all! Quite long though. But hope it helped. See you peeps soon! :)
