Must be those every enlistment day bring MC until one day ARMO declare he is fit and MUST enlist.

I got 2 cases of those last time... recruit same age as OC the other older than OC.

First day enlist already got "Photosensitive, Excuse sunlight!!!"

baseturn SG

You got a problem, talk to your sect comd, Plt sgt or PC.
If still cannot talk to your OO.

You also have to make sure you are trying your best, everyone can tell if your effort is genuine or you are just "wayanging".

Life in the working world is worse than your time in NS.
So its not the end of the world.
Suck it up and drive on.

Shotgun SG

the OO is ur best friend, your Godfather... always look for him to drink kopi and chit chat about your problems, and backstab urs sgts.

Don't get depressed over SAF. Not worth it.

Better learn to adpet quick. Bmt is consider the most easy in your 2yr time. If u can't catch up than good luck to you. You will be living a hell 2 yr of your NSF life

borntolive SG

hi just been through bmt n i m like u too at first cant cope with bmt espically during 1st 2 weeks, not used to the scolding, tekaning n training etc

but as time goes by, u get more friends n u will be used to the scolding and all these anxiety is more or less gone.

i suggest u speak to the orientation officer or wad. i feel that it isnt advisable to speak to platton coomander , platoon serg etc

borntolive SG

n btw bmt is the most enjoyable exp of ns , when u get posted out thing get different, even if u go to a slack vocation, u will find new probs like monotonous work n overdemanding superiors.

My diagnosis for your problems? It's all in the mind.

You had spent eight pages in another thread begging us to help you chao keng. We spent those eight pages telling you to wake up your ideas and drop the negative mindset. Now you find yourself at the losing end with your negative mindset.

We have been telling you time and again - change that negative mindset of yours. I know it's tough, and I know that BMT life is a total culture shock from the freedom of civillian life. But that's the way it is. As Gordon has said, you adapt to army life, not the other way round.

Ask yourself this: why is it that you always got your platoon punished? Don't come and tell me that it's because your PS doesn't like the look of your face. Is it because you're the last to get things done? Is it because you're the last person to fall in at 5.30am in the morning?

If that's the case, how about going through your mistakes and learning from them? If you want to know, I also learn things at a slower pace. I initially got my platoon knocked down several times as well. But I learnt from my mistakes and resolved to do my best not to commit them again.

I know I'm sounding harsh on you. But I ain't bullsh*tting you, either.
