Hmmm... as I recall, I think I've heard ppl call the fenced up
Air Force area "Missle Hill" when I was in NS. I know it was Air
Force because the guards that stopped my Rover last time were
wearing berets with the Air Force crest, not army. My memory is
fuzzy, but I think the way to get there was to go on old Chua Chu
Kang road, then when it intersects with Lim Chu Kang road, just
keep going across and carry on the same road. I miss the old Chua
Chu Kang rd hawker center...char kuay teow only $1.20 per plate
back in 1995! Soy bean drink only 20 cents per cup!
Oh well, I thought I'd try to SGForums to see if there were any
recent Signals trainees who visited the Temple recently. I remember
it was one of the Exercise Endurance task stations, the one where
you throw a halyard to set up a big HF antenna. The temple grounds
were a good spot because they have really tall angsana trees.
Well, I've been living in the US ever since 3 weeks after ORD,
so it's been a long time since I went back to the SAF training
areas. I'll be visiting SG soon, so I was turning nostalgic and
thought I'd go see if the old training grounds were still around.
Besides, my wife, who is American, wants to see this place because
of the ghost stories I'm always telling her about! Bt I think it'll
be a good idea to visit only in the day...
I tried looking at these various places with Google Earth, and
saw that Pasir Laba camp now was a parade square with huge sergeant
stripes on it!
