Some things (some dark truths) ur fren shld know:
1.) Army = Regimentation (i.e. basically mean, there are rules for
EVERYTHING u do inside the army. YES, EVEN GOING TO THE TOILET [AKA
must ask permission])
2.) One for all and all for one: U do swee swee also no use, one
f**ker inside ur platoon f**k-up, all of u will get it. U will get
this kind of treatment as long as u are inside regardless where u
go.
3.) Collectivisim: No Me and I inside the army.
4.) Stupid always win: Yes, even u find something totally stupid
and ridiculus, u will wonder why u always have to do it and the
most important thing of all: U CAN'T F**KING CHANGE IT.
5.) Must be comfortable wif a ginna above u: In the SAF, u bound to
meet immediate officers or sergeants who are going to be younger
than u. And have a childish way of thinking (ok, not everyone like
that) but u must be "comfortable" wif it.
6.) NO ARUGING: U do it or U do it, there is no other way. If u
argue, u will visit a nice chalet where ur stay in the SAF will be
EXTENDED.
7.) Detention Barrack(DB) = JAIL : Simply put, SAF is a period
where u will take charge of ur life for the first time and DB is a
place that reminds u that u are responsible for ur own actions like
losing a can of beer can get u inside. 
Sad but true.
8.) Bonding: Yes, u can bond all u like while siting on the wet
muddy ground in the middle of nowhere inside a jungle with rain
pouring on u and u eating ur soggy dinner. A GREAT WAY TO
BOND!
9.) Ladies please take note: There are no TVs inside the jungle and
the toilet is everywhere inside the jungle and be careful where u
dig. 
10.) When the sergeant gives an order to hit the ground, u hit the
ground, he doesn't care if the ground is muddy, dirty, alot leaves,
got insects, got snakes, etc, etc
(please add on the things u come to realised but is not stated
officially)
