It was fun reading from all these contributors. It made my day. I don't suppose anyone here remembered the Isreali instructors or when you went cutting grass with your pen knife.

Ha! I experienced most of them too. Life in army did change a lot now. To be honest, I’m starting to enjoy my reservist now but sad to say that I’m going to ROD soon

Yeah, I really missed those days too!! Away from the wife and kids....... just have fun like a boy!! Wah..... so nice to talk **** and sing song...... now its gone. Enjoy while you can, you will miss your army life... then u know you are getting old.... :dunno:

Agree, reservist time quite fun to see the chaps once in a year, away from work.

MINDEF Reserve.

For people who have finished their ICT cycle but is younger than 40 (non-officers) or 50 (officers).

No need to go for in-camp anymore, but still can be called (unlikely) up for NS.

Let me give two more:

When you can remember using a flat aluminium tray and blue ceramic plate for meals even before a metal tray.

And when you avoided Inche Samsuddin like the plaque whenever he came your way.

Hello sbs99, did you also go to SAFTI for your BMT? Anyway I don't know of any big shots but I know plenty of " boh boh kings" who wished they were big shots in the range.
