I heard back in DB, you are worse than recruit? You've even to
greet a recruit / lance corporal "sir". Degrading. Then there is
the routine cavity checks in & out.
And its 99% physical training and more physical training. heard
also (dunno how true), they use white canvas paint (those that you
use on your canvas shoes in school days to make them white) and
apply on your black boots to make them white. And march in those,
yellow T-shirt, shorts, SBO, helmut and boots and carry sandbag.
Its really like a torture, you carry (one or two? I not sure) walk
to the other end, deposit, march back, carry again. Then go back to
where you deposit the sand bag, repeat. So on so forth daily -
morning & afternoon. Its repeitive, its mundane and its
physically tiring.
Living is spartan, you got a mat and a mug and a T-shirt bearing a
number. And you can expect to be treated like sh** inside.
Thats what I heard, ps do correct me if there's any
inaccuracies.
