Gums, I fully understand. Currently doing BMT, and my coy forever tio arrow for Saikang. Everyday clean this sweep that wash there brush here. Extremely stringent Area inspections.

Totally full of sh!t, especially when we saw the instructor's bunks. A PIG STY.

Compare to getting bit by mosquitoes, area cleaning is nothing. Laughing

although at times feel it is a waste of time (esp when you discovered that you former female classmates already earning much more $$$), but overall feel that it is quite fun.

Also, if there is a war, I will rather take up arms to protect my family and friends, than to be there waiting to be slaughtered by the invaders.

yah coz we're always practicing in peacetime ! not wartime ! unlike those US always go war ! but NS makes us guys more fit & strong, dont u feel tat way ? i've more confident in myself after 2 & 1/2 yrs in NS ! a good step towards work force !

That's great, at least you learned one skill useful for your entire 2 years plus. Won't be jobless easily even after graduating cos you can be employed as a cleaner in singapore. Come to think of it, 2 years plus for a cleaner cert is a bit long. Rolling Eyes

hee... come think of it... if the enciks never enforce area cleaning, our bunks would be as clean as a manhole... Mr. Green

its a necessary evil lah... i remember after coming back from overseas training once... we had cleaned and sealed the bunks, but when we un-sealed them, the bunks got cob webs EVERYWHERE and the dust layer was as thick as the TSR/TDR manuals... it was GROSS.

the encik checked out the lobo's bunk (those who didn't go for the overseas) the same day and it was a veritable SHIT-HOLE! (hee... all the lobos sign extras after that... fun...)

and the armskote had to be sealed too so we oiled the weapons thickly before that... when we got back, it was BONE DRY and nearly rusty!

routine maintenance must be taken seriously even though its a pain in the arse... thats one thing i've learnt and applied to my daily life now.

besides, people fall sick easily when they live in squalid surroundings... especially now got SARS... better clean up properly or the ka-chuak and the rats spread the disease then u know Twisted Evil

Whether the bunk is clean or not clean, should that be your problem? I think the government should be responsible since the whole place belong to them and being used to conscript you guys. 2 years plus is the time for a young guy to obtain an minmum oversea degree instead of learning how to clean up.
