I had a good laugh when I saw the packing list. Must pack nail clipper to remove dirt from finger nails. LOL. Must pack swimming goggles too, I guess in case water gets in their eyes. LOL.

Straightforward Version:
Toiletries:
  • 2x Adidas 3 in 1 Shower Gel
  • 1x Nail Clipper with Dirt Remover
  • 1x Big box of wet wipes
  • 1x Toothbrush & Toothpaste
  • 1x Razor
Laundry Items:
  • 15x Clothes Hangers
  • 10x Pegs
  • 1x Febreze
  • 1x Medium size liquid detergent
Admin Items:
  • SingPass
Electronics:
  • 2x 20k mAh power banks
  • 1x Multiple head wall plug
  • 1x AirPods Pro
  • 1x Casio sports watch
Clothing:
  • 10x Underwear
Miscellaneous Items:
  • 1x Slippers
  • 1x Swimming goggles
  • 1x Black whiteboard marker
  • 1x Big bottle of sunscreen lotion
  • 1x Big bottle of snake powder
  • 1x Moisturizer
  • 3x Big reusable bags (for shower items and other usage)
Tips:
  • You'll be issued an extra PT (physical training) tee, but I recommend buying an extra pair of PT shorts during your first e-mart (shopping) session in Week 2.
  • If you take public transport to/from home, bring a clean admin tee when booking out. You can change from your uniform into the admin tee right away at the nearest mall, so you won’t smell bad on the MRT. Plus, it covers up your full name on your uniform. (Please don't do this—it's called vest slack, and it's not allowed.)
  • Most people get sunburned during the first few days. Please use sunscreen, especially before PT sessions.
  • If you feel stinging itch when/after contacting the sun it's called heat rashes, REPORT SICK THE NEXT DAY, you'll feel okay the next day morning but after contacting the sun again you'll regret not reporting sick in the morning.

Other than toiletries, razor, toilet paper, waterproof slippers and maybe a couple of hangers, every else is extra.

You don't need a powerbank unless you're in the jungle for a few days. Stop watching those ADHD-inducing clickbait short videos when you're bored and you phone's battery will last a long time.

You don't need a deodorant unless you are a stinky fellow. Blame the genetics inherited from your parents.

No need for sunscreen and moisturiser, you faggots. :rolleyes:

Prickly Heat (Snake) powder, just bring along a medium size bottle. There are shops inside the camp that sell them, but I remember the prices there are slightly marked up.

I recommend these few extras:

1) Eye drops
2) TCM powder for ulcers
3) Inhaler (I like the Thai Poysian brand)

I didn't bring anything. I just showed up. Not even prickly heat powder, I can't stand it. I brought a razor and shaving foam. Some of my fellow BMT mates don't even bring foam. Just shave dry. Nowadays, SAF is really guniang army. I see the Ukraine war videos, and that is how i remember my NS. These new generations will cry for mommy in Ukraine.
