i went through E-company at Tekong a long time ago..
the OC had a red beret and told us he believed in tough
training...
each day, after breakfast, drawing of arms and falling in to
move out for training, the other companies woke up.. each night, we
came back from training, the other companies had already sent in
their arms, showered and were eating their nightsnack..
the OC marched with us through all the route marches, setting a
cracking pace..
he ran the SOC, did log PT, leopard crawled up and down botak
hill with us.. we had to do all that come hell or high water
because our OC did it with us..
now.. i say those who whine at the resort-like holidays they
call BMT these days are kuniangs..
