ancient song… the time when recruit got only about $90 per month for allowance… not like now… how much? $350??

Marco_Simone SG

Listened to the song again,managed to catch the word "ITD" which stands for Infantry Training Depot(precursor of BMTC),wow-now that's ancient.

And that time CPL were the sect coms and SGTs then were like SSGs now right?

Another thing,visit prostitute cost $1 only?

Joshua1975 SG

listen and listen carefully, it short of $1. not oni $1...

SAF have more hokkien song, just that some are not allowed to sing anymore. anyway, not many soldier today can speak or sing hokkien very well.

even jack neo had come up with some which was so call ban in SAF.

I remember something on the lines of .."tau cheng jit pa .." something to do with going for range?

lem0nade SG

think it goes like this: tau cheng jit pa, orh orh jit ta, kwa wu jio pa, kwa bo agak agak.

zho pian siong kia si PTI (being a soldier scare of PTI)
kio li zho pumping zi ba pia (order you do pumping 100 times)
zho liao zhi pia you zhi pia (do one time after another)
gan ni lao bu chao chee bye (think this part dun need to translate)

Erm..I've refined the Hokkien spelling

zou peng siang kia si PTI (being a soldier scare of PTI)
kio li zou pumping jit ba pai (order you do pumping 100 times)
zou liao jit pai you jit pai (do one time after another)
gan ni lao bu chao chee bye (think this part dun need to translate)

oxford mushroom SG

Thanks for that....certainly brought back memories, man. I was in ITD and our CPL taught us to sing that song. Wah...really feel ancient. I was in ITD Camp I, which was the old camp with single storey huts. The song mentioned ITD as being a 3-storey building....that was the 'new' camp at the time..ITD Camp II.
