the recruit was just trying to justify why his pussy bled when hymen tore on their virgin experience. its not as if all other predecessors have never undergone similar, if not, more gruelling training during the BMT. fact is, the welfare & training safety standards weren't set in place to full potential (in early days), such that they're now sheltered in resort styled chalets.
tekong is just a tiny backyard garden compared to thailand/ taiwan/ brunei/ australia, n they cry father & mother after a freaking 8km route march. they haven't kena blistered skin under the extreme climates abroad, coupled with distances twice or thrice the freaking 8km. on wkends, when these woozies go out with gf & frens (yet to be enlisted); they talk loud loud & boast about their pathetic achievements.
so, after they get posted to their units & schools for advanced trainings, they'll be crying buckets of their greater achievements.
to sum it all up, a bunch of woozies!
