bicycle hooks are er.. elastic ropes that are abt 50 cm long and have hooks on both ends. commonly used to secure things to the back of bicycles, and used by taxi drivers to secure a boot that cannot be fully closed.

how high is de casualty rate of SOC during bmt? i was swinging on de monkey bars a few days ago. my mucles were oredi rather fatigue after doing other exercises n it was drizzling then. as i was bout to reach other end, i slipped n fell, hitting my legs against a bar below. it was so painful n there was a slight swell on my right leg. lucky my head dint kena.

wuming78 SG

quite high i mus say. but monkey bar is usually not the problem. the oni prob monkey bar can cause and alot of recruits like to complain of is causing ur palm to hurt and break - cos skin too tender. the most "casualty rate" station is usually the ramp - when ppl dun land properly when they jump they hurt their backs.

Master -_- SG

when do u get the enlistment letter leh Confused

wuming78 SG

hm.. usually would be a few months b4? but i have heard of cases where they receive the letter only very late. if u r unsure mabbe u can try calling to ask.

Master -_- SG

i only know the date via Net..i.e.27th August.. but then, i dun even have the letter and shopping list Neutral

wuming78 SG

via net? meaning? if u talking abt miw i not sure if the date is accurate cos for me some of the details are not. anyway i think its better for u to call them to ask. if its 27 aug its oni like 2 wks later! as for the things, u can take a look at http://www.mindef.gov.sg/index.asp?cat=ebk under the "recruit's handbook" although if im not wrong its abit outdated.

bluez_sky SG

i believe they haf gloves inside now? wat bout de obstacle where gotta climb up rows of logs? i got a pro wif balance, i m a flat footer n i haf a slight leg length discrepancy of 2cm.

wuming78 SG

yes they provide half gloves now. so lucki. used to be we had to buy ourselves. jacobs ladder u mean. tt one not too bad unless u got fear of heights. if u got balance prob the balancing log den mabbe can prob.. but its an ez station in the end. u never kanna downgrade for ur flat foot rite?

bluez_sky SG

to those who can bablance well mayb ez.....haha. no.....i guess they dun bother bout flat footers now......there r quite a lot of them. mayb dats y de pt shoes r designed for flat footers....haha. they ask me whether i can run or not when i tell them bout my leg length dicrepancy pro. they said can run can oredi, though they said they will check wif SGH for my medical record. but i tink they nvr even check 1.....so many pending cases they oso heck care.

wuming78 SG

there are diff degrees of flat footedness if im not wrong, and for the most severe case where the persons footprint is practically the whole foot, they r usually downgraded cos they canot run.

some other common downgrade cases would be curved spine, heart murmur, and blood in urine (i think).

anyway the trick to the balancing log is to walk quickly. i always haf this fear of falling off it but heng tt never happened! Wink

LoVeMeLoVeMenOt SG

huh Rolling Eyes gloves is not allow during SOC oni those with sweaty palms may oni allow 2 wear Smile & by the way i think Tekong strictly not allow 2 wear gloves during SOC Wink

wuming78 SG
