Many many years ago, as a recruit in Camp 1 Pulau Tekong, anyone
wearing OCS T-Shirt is understood as officer. So at night, when my
PC comes into the bunk, he will always wear his OCS T-shirt and
everyone will shout "ROOM".
One evening, a recruit brought his brother's OCS T-shirt and put it
on and started to walk around. You should see how many salutes and
"Sir" he got. He also got some fellow recruits to "knock it down
3". Wah lao, the recruits so blur why only 3 push ups . First time
punishment with 3 push ups.
Also to make things funnier, he would walk into another company
line bunks and the shouting of "ROOM" can be heard.
We had a darn good laugh that night. He wasn't caught but
eventually he did commission as an officer. I think he complaint
that that night at Tekong he received more salutes than a whole
month in his unit.
