Reading through all these posts reminds me of my NS days...in
the last millenium... 
Also reminds me of this malay sergeant from another platoon who ate
first while his recruits all in long queue,then he sort of looked
at us and sniggered.(together with his mat instructor cronies)(You
get the idea that he was saying something like "haha,you all chao
recruits queue up la")On the other hand,my BMT sarge waited for all
of us to grab our food and sit down before he went to collect his
food.
Apparently this ah mat let his rank got to this head.Should let him
go to combat unit and he will realise sgt is nothing there...
This mat sergeant also refused to let somebody take a breather/stop
and drink water during route march.If anyone happened to that
trainee coz of that,I am sure that ah mat would had been charged
very jialat for ill treatment.
By the way,how come so many ah mat instructors at BMTC?
