That's where my brigade is.... 10 SIB. Nope, this isn't classified information.

Anyway, the place is bloody ulu. No direct public bus to the place. Even many taxi drivers don't know the place too well. When I had to return to that camp for reservist, I had to show my taxi driver dad a map leading to the camp. Pretty amazing considering that he's been driving taxis for 10 years ++..... Of course, the camp itself has been around for only a few years.... Still quite new....

Home of the Gryphons ...10SIB, part of 9 Div.pretty nice camp, new camp with gd facilities like beside-the-sea SOC grd Laughing

the Spec Mess and Officer's Mess are pretty gd places. the toliets and showering areas are similar to modern day swimming pools with nice blue tilings, fans , similar to those SAFRA clubs.

got to agree with ppl, its a dame ulu camp, god knows why still no buses last time.nearest shopping center, Pasir Ris Town.

The camp is a pretty quiet camp really nothing much, unless 3 and 6 SIR are holding soccer matches that turned soured 2 yrs back Laughing

i cycled to pasir ris camp before. even on bike, i find the distance long… what do u think… haha

Moxie SG

MPX? Dunno. I do know CPX stands for Command Post Exercise, which usually entails some form of ops group training without the involvment of the unit main body. But 3 days' worth of "briefing"? ~lol~

10 SIB, if you're with them, happens to be a brigade-level unit - maybe some wargaming?

Alphabetically-speaking, Ex Malapura is also being conducted as of now (except it's supposed to involve only the RSN).

BTW "MPX" is also an aconymn for "Multiplex". Do these suggestions ring any bell?

thanks..got a PM about what that means..thanks anyway

isn’t pasir ris camp the new CDO camp?

fudgester SG

It is?

No wonder I saw so many red berets there the other time whacking the recruits....... My friends and I were wondering whether cdo shifted their operations there.

lwflee SG

MapEx? IE Zhi shang tan bing???

Moxie SG

Map Planning Exercise – Someone in my office suggested that when I asked around yesterday; I didn’t post it cuz it was known as something else in my time (better not mention it).

lwflee SG

IF its mapex, then be prepared to draw alot of overlays....!!!!!
Unless they are gg high-tech. Errm no..even so you still need to draw overlays.
It sux. Damn boring thing to do.

LazerLordz SG

Haha.Map overlays..and the timeless argument over how telt is spelt will arise once again... Very Happy

lwflee SG

Telt?

Isn't it like TalC or TelK??? I never did understand why they called it telT/K/C
