vito_corleone SG

And the barber will stil run his shaver thru those botak heads.

Quinsy SG

Damn lame liddat… bo liao issit, the barbers?

insouciant SG

Don't need to cut too much lah. The barber will cut for you, so why bother.

Just make sure your hair not extremely long or have funny things (like pink and gold streaks, rebonded, etc) cause you will stand out and your instructors will remember you... and not in a good way. Laughing

boltstorm SG

o-lua SG

for fcuk....

actually, u can view the shaving ceremony as part of the package too..
sort of everyone lining up... shaving away the civilian way of life..

and btw, u are going to be cut just as randomly by the barbers eventually for ur next hair cut. no mercy just becoz u cut ur's or cur ur's nicely outside...

when u have to cut, all will still cut tgt.. regardless of hair. haha.

I still can recall during my BMT, some recruits only got their hair cut by the 3rd day due to the large no. of recruits enlisted. Only 4 barbers to handle.

Don© SG

I was thinking of doing that also, since after shaving or watever, those little hair around the neck area damn irritating and i doubt we get to shower. Laughing

Hellraiza SG

i went into ns with a no.1 cut...when the rest were cutting hair, i already napping in bunk. On the floor, of course. Laughing

Gordonator SG

cut at your own risk loh. later 1st day tio marked by the whole platoon and the sgts i don't know hor. Laughing

insouciant SG

Too bad no one undergoes mono at Clementi Camp, the "barber" (she) is quite cute with "interesting" outfits too... or so I'm told. Laughing

Ponders SG

Hmm. no point cutting.

Most sergeants in BMTC too scared to allow you not to go for haircut. Then CSM will just say "whole company go".

Then the barber wants your $$$. So his policy is usually, "if my clipper cut any hair, i charge you". Then he will press his clipper real hard to cut hair.

You come can think of it... you cut hair and not get hair cut.. then slowly.. everybody cut hair before enlisting.. then uncle no business.

insouciant SG

Huh? The barber gets flat fee for the entire intake what. The recruits don't pay for the own haircut. So it doesn't matter to them.

Unless you tell me the SAF has implemented the stupid "put-disc-in-the-box-whilst you quene" system for the barber as well?? Shocked

Fucking Bitch SG

everyone hands over $2 in cash to the barber just before sitting on the chair for the haircut.

Ponders SG

And some even ask you to sign your name in a 555 Note Book.

So that he can prove to CSM he cut your hair.

And some barbers charge a "per month" service.

So that 2 dollars and you sign your name, you can always go back to him within the month.

Chelzea SG

i tght haircut free 1 Evil or Very Mad

coffeeortea SG

yes.. it is better to cut your hair.. one of my section mates didnt cut hair.. went in with dyed hair and kena suan ALL THE TIME.

Obersturmfuhrer SG
