I recalled my first day in BMT....the section commander made the platoon place 11Bs (old type laminated green ID card) in our shorts. Then made us stand and squat.....more than 20 times. Straight after tekan session, he inspected our 11B.
The standing and squatting caused the 11B to be bent with a line across the laminated card. Then he blasted us for not taking good care of our 11B. I still remember that moron CPL Imran. I happened to be the first guy standing in the line. He looked at me....and insulted my late mother by scolding me in the face kanni na bei chow chee bye fucking mother. I almost punched him in the face in anger. But I swallowed the anger cos' otherwise I would have spent the next 3 months in detention barracks. But I told myself....this is how SAF works. My beloved Singapore wanted me to serve...but insulted my mother in my first day in army. I told myself I will switch off for the rest of my NS days until I ORD. I did the minimum for everything. Siam as much as possible. Prior to that, like my peers, I had aspirations to give my best to become an officer. After that incident, I changed my mind completely. I have never regretted for switching off, cos I realised I'll have a better life if I bor chap.
lucky you din hate all the malay. or there will be a racial war
