As a 18 year old young man, National Service opened my eye to people from all walks of life. BMTC was the most memorable period in my army life as I met some really nice people. It was also during that period when my first love left to study in USA :(
There was the usual kilat Platoon Commander. My PC was the most garang among all the PCs in the company. He was due to study in UK after ORD. Tall, strong, smart man. He reminded me of Scroobal.
Then comes the OC. Office in Command. He was a malay captain. The most memorable thing that he did to us was, to take us to a remote part of tekong and made us do rifle PT which was already banned by the army. We seldom see him. If we see him, it must be something bad. But, he had a light hearted side. When his mood was good, you could hear him crack some jokes. He reminded me of Leongsam.
Next were the Specialists, or Sergeant as we called them. There were these 2 sergeants, very nice person. One was really fit. He was in the rock climbing team in his college and could managed a whopping 21 pull ups. Short, but yet powerful,he reminded me of Ramseth. The other gentleman talked as if he had some sweets in his mouth. But he was the nicest sergeant I ever met in BMTC. You could talk to him any time, he reminded me of Wuqi235
Then there were the recruits. There were the usual St Pats, Victorian boys. They were hip and they were outstanding and vocal. I used to wonder how they could screw the convent girls so easily, They love to smoke and would gather in one corner to share their heroic deeds. They were cool and fun to be with, but they were seldom nonsensical. They reminded me of people like Zeddy, Drifter
Then there were the usual clowns. They love to fool around, have fun and make jokes with everyone. Despite their comical front, these were actually one of the smartest and creative people around. Give them an empty bottle and they can turn it into a cannon. They reminded me of Alamaking and Erection2011
How could we forget about the 302s. There was a guy called billy in my platoon. He was the most gentle guy I ever met. There was once we were cleaning our rifles and his cleaning rod got stuck in the barrel. He ran around panicking, declaring that his rod got stuck in the hole. We had a good time laughing. He reminded me of people like Tonychat and Clinton666.
