- Training to be soldier, to fight for our land...
This was my advice to my nephew before he enlisted. Been a few years since I ORD, but I think the advice here is still relevant. Here are some tips which I gathered and I hope it'll be useful to other readers. The tips can be categorized into 3 areas : Fitness, Behaviour and Essential Items
Fitness
- Get Silver for NAPFA. This will shorten your time of service by 2 months, which you will come to understand, makes a difference.
- Train up whatever you are weak in, it will serve you well.
How to Behave
- Brotherhood, Wayang. Priority in this order.
- Time your activeness
- Help your platoon mates - You never know when you would need their help. Don’t back stab people, unless you’re a fan of blanket parties.
- Don’t do things that drag your whole platoon into trouble.
- Be assertive, but don't be foolish enough to fight with your PC.
Essential Items
- Hangers
- Toiletries
- Pen
- Facial wipes. To rub off the camou cream
- Snake Powder. To spam on every part of your body.
- Coins. Used at the vending machine.
Towards the end of your BMT, things getting stolen is common, so always remember to lock your stuff!
