hehe and SAFTI MI is also SAFTI Country Club.
But its quite true that alot of the training areas and military camps contain some superb scenery. Remember one time was a sentry during GPMG livefiring beside a lake... saw some really great views, but pity photographic access in such areas are limited.
Koelsch & Waffle, enjoy your morning walks. :sweatsm: Take time to breath in those fresh air and enjoy those trees and those grasslands.
Bring some wine and cheese and you can sit by the seaside and enjoy a beautiful night out with your buddy, watching the stars and the CBD lights.

to all guys who have not enter tekong yet, treasure ur time there. its a once in a lifetime experience, minus all the tekaning and arti drills haha :bsmilie:
other ns guys please share ur experiences too.
nice to hear you enjoy ur stay at BMTC ("C" for chalet haha).
i remember when i was at tekong, one noon after a heavy rain, two rainbows came out. it was beautiful :thumbsup:
ANYWAY..., since u like "untouched" places that much, hope you get the chance to go on top of the hills at live firing area...some places got nice viewing angles
sighx......if u entered the sispec course there in the past (now at lim chu kang), during ex wanderer.....u will get to c much more of the island.......the interior where recruits dun go r so much much more beautiful. Once came across this stone bridge when we hollanded, the scene looks so sureal n out of this world. Then i find the island to be the best place to be for watchin asian aerospace (in future, sg aerospace) cos the planes r doin their stuff rite above ur head.

i find the mosquitos there tame in comparison to those in lim chu kang. Lim Chu Kang is crazy. Once counted 50+ mosquito bites jus on the back of my hand in 1 nite (even though i applied saf mos repellant).

i know... i used to be in IHQ when it was still in pasir laba. we were i/c of the live firing/training areas, and rumours had it dat those mozzies are armour trained... their skin is so tough saf repellent dun work.

*man....i "miss" taking the RPL.......:bsmilie:
Left Tekong more than 20 years ago.
I remember the nights when I sat with my buddy staring at the mainland, wishing it was my girlfriend I was with. I remember when we prowled the camp site with CHANKUL sticks (what a joke, I think they did not trust recruits with the M16). And in my experience, the mozzies there were the best of its kind - you can tell that you were bitten unlike more civilised manland one.
Camp 1 is some British left over, single storey, breezy (because no solid walls but wooden louver all round). Are these still around?
I can smile at those times, but man, while I was there...
BTW, I find that the most beautiful scenery I have seen of a military site is Area D, armour live firing area, where you look across Pandan Reservoir and there were HDB blocks to be seen. :thumbsup:

u mean poyan reserviour? pandan reservior is a long way from area D. :sweatsm:
my personal fav spot is to go up temple hill and look across the whole live-firing area. i doubt the sniper school goes there now for their live-firing, since SISPEC/SIW are in tekong now.
