Which BMT campsite did you serve/grew up in??

[stonefish35]

Ortega, I was from 'H' coy Nee Soon as well!!!

Hahaha! First day so blur, we had some free time and were still in our civies, so I kinda walked around downstairs. Saw some kinda shop across (the parade sq but didn;t know it was a PS then) go buy drink, have smokes and walked back - with lit ciggy in hand.:bigeyes: Finished it outside the building and was wondering why quite a few (later I found out) corporals and seargeants stared at me funny. I was then wearing a white polo T, like the ones officers wore so they must have been wondering who this siao officer was, smoking on the parade square! LOL!!!

From Hawk Coy, Jan 1999 intake too. Last batch at Nee Soon camp , and help to move to Tekong.

Had no idea so many CSers served in Nee Soon Camp...

 

[gnail]

Was in Tekong Camp 3 Jan 98'. Jaguar Coy, Platoon 35.

Walaus, bunk was right at the top, 6 floors. Change parade hafta go up and down until legs became like jelly.

Last batch to eat cookhouse food and I remembered doing the last cookhouse fatigue before SFI came and took over for the NEXT BMT batch. sighs.

Things that I remember most 'fondly':

- 'The Last Post' being played every evening. Followed by the swallows that would flock to the roofs and gaps of the walls of camp 3.
- Queuing up at the public phones. HPs were very rare then.
- Singing "My Heart Will Go On" during marches. The song was very popular then and its beat was surprisingly perfect for marching!
- Stand by beds. Everyday. Flying messtrays.
-The sound of dog tags hitting the floor as u knock it down.
- SOC. sibei jialat!
- Marching to the swimming pool near Camp 1.
- Bayonet fighting. Holding a pose for minutes...:sweat:
- SAF beret crest along with some 'scriptures' that are placed at the wall at the top of our bunk. been there for many batches. supposed to ward off 'dirty things'.

so many things...

those were the days.
