Welll... time to learn. Know how to trap water rite? Imagine trapping water but moving forward instead of staying in position

LazerLordz SG

As far as I know,School 2 wears the green army socks while in admin attire.You just fold them down to ankle level

Gordonator SG

u will be issued 5 pairs ofgreen socks (for wearing with boots) and 2 pairs of white socks (for PT shoes) regardless of which sch you are posted to.

but for people in sch 2, u will get to wear your green socks more often cos you will be wearing green socks in admin and PT attire, as compare to sch 1 which wear white socks.

A NSF should familiarize himself with only the following, as long as he's not tasked for form part of a NDP contingent ;-) -

FOR STANCE (with or without rifle)
"Sedia" Attention
"Senang Diri" Stand at ease
"Rehatkan Diri" Stand easy
"Kekanan Lurus" Right Dress
"Pandang Kehadapan Pandang" Eyes Front
"Kekanan/Kekiri/Kebelakang Pusing" Right/Left/About Turn
"Diam" Steady
"Semula" As you were
"Keluar Baris" Fall out

FOR MARCHING
"Dari Kiri/Kanan Cepat Jalan" By the Left/Right Quick March
"Dari Kiri/Kanan Cepat Lari" By the Left/Right/Front Double
"Hentak Kaki Cepat Hentak" Quick Mark Time
"Kiri/Kanan Belok" Left/Right Wheel
"Berhenti" Halt

FOR RIFLES
"Rusok Senja Ta" Shoulder Arm
"Turun Senja Ta" Order Arm
"Hormat Senja Ta" Present Arm
"Julang Senja Ta" High Port
"Tatang Senja Ta" For Inspection Port Arms
"Lepaskan Sepering" Ease Springs

Okay, make that total 20 ~lol~

A few of the above commands can be elaboratedly prefaced, paticularly with turns, in which case I told my less-familiar recruits to listen out only for last part. For example:

"Bergerak Kekanan, Bertiga Tiga, Kekanan Pusing" Move to the Right, In threes, Right turn
"Menghadap Kebelakang/Kehadapan, Kebelakang Pusing" Retire/Advance, About turn

One more full command, except it's usually done at the end of a rifle-range shoot & thus completely word-associable:

"Untop Di-perrksa Tatang Senja Ta" For Inspection Port Arms

Verbally, the SAF style is to slowly "slang" the drill command out into:
(a) the introductory part (the whole stuff at the beginning),
(b) the warning part (dragging out a word to signal the impending 3rd part),
(c) the execution part (sharp burst at the end word/syllable of the command).

So, "Hormat Senja Ta" becomes "Hormat..Senja-a-a-a-a-ah..[pause]..TAH!" Even a Hokkien peng could predict what to do here, since he would already be in shoulder-arms position - & could phonetically recognized the command for present-arms (plus having countlessly rote-practiced the latter drill beforehand).
