If the reporting time is 0730H and you come in at 1000, you have a pretty high chance of being charged bro...

I always in-pro at 10am, then I will still have time to go for my breakfast. The 'efficiency' of reservist unit is highly predictable. I've been to 7 ICT, non has ever started moving before 11pm even though the in-pro timing is 8am.

And one advise for trainees who don't wish to get 'elected' for any sort of appointments, never do 18 pull-ups when the majority give up at 10 :devil:

Useful info, but I think when I retired eventually, I will keep these items, too much blood, sweat and toil on them...
Keen on the new SBO though...

I was told they moved into the multi storey car park so that rain or shine they can still conduct the runs.

According to some, it seems the shade made it a better run with higher passing rate.

Worth a try.
