You guys should not confuse the pre-"Army 2000" NCC and the
post-"Army 2000" NCC.
"Army 2000" is a scheme that started around 1995. It was the scheme
that advocated more welfare in the Army. That philosophy has
affected the NCC.
So pre 1995, when the NCC was still using the Temasek Green
Uniform, you had to starch your uniform still it stood. The way i
remember it: apply the starch to the underside of your uniform,
leaving about one hand's width at the bottom of the uniform
unstarched. This is so that you can tuck in your shirt. Then let it
dry overnight on a hanger.
NOW -> NCC = faggots. I had the opportunity of talking to a
group of them just a few months ago, and, i am not impressed. The
NCC Specialists could not get the men to shut up, they were too
fu.ckin' noisy and they even dared to crack jokes at the
specialists!
And yes, the boots had to be shiny. And i don't mean instant-shine
type of shine. I mean the shine obtained by applying melted kiwi to
the toecaps.
