BMT - teach you how to eat combat ration. Unit - teach you how to choose the best combat ration packs
I don’t even eat combat ration anymore just bring own food
that is very true HAHAHA
We always pester encik to indent fresh ration. Combat ration eat liao cannot shit. Hahaha
Lol when you are a trainee the dumbest thing you can do is eat too much. First day of field camp threw away all the ration because didnt wanna go bathroom. Survive on biscuits. Then when they bring the fresh ration wah lao big mistake
Yeah.. even worse when the PS just put the boxes down and let everyone take on their own.. all the nasties will be left behind imagine going for a 7 day exercise with nothing but Nyonya curry rice… sucks to high heavens.. no meat also 😂😂😂
Honey wake up every singaporean son just dropped
THIS SERIES DISAPPEAR FOR LIKE 10 YEARS😭
Hahaha, keep forcing my wife to watch with me🤣
True patriot ✊
😅😅😂😂😂😂@@muhdsalehin6551
The shellscrape site chosen for this video is so clear that it's chosen for this video. The typical shell scrape spot comes with 10000000 stone bed and 1000000 roots you'll have to cut through.
Yeah man. 6 hours of digging also cannot achieve.
this batch had it damn easy ngl
During my time, we route march to site. That said, during my time, field camp and UO were also separate high keys, unlike now (I think). At the very least, I know field camp was shorter than the 5 days they experience now.
Dont have to compare who has it harder. Every recruit and batch have their own set of challenges.
OU and CO are still conducted separately unless it's a mission but only for vocation.
yes. march to the camp site and field camp used to be 7 days
during my time, field camp and sit test were cluttered together, total 7 days outfield, need to march from A to B, where got so good take coach.
@@larrydestiny2184 When you don't have enough Tonners to take recruits around the island (specially with safe distancing at the time), you take whatever logistics you can get.
@@jinn194 point is, we didnt even have the option of logistics to send us to the field camp site. Not even a tonner.
so nice to see the gortex jacket being used other than being the pillow in field camp
encik wake up every singaporean son just dropped 20
I feel relieved watching them digging up such loose ground. I dug for 8 hrs with help back then during my field camp and it still wasn't complete at the end of the day, because the ground was rock hard compacted, with roots and rocks not far underneath. Not to mention, it was the hottest and dryest part of the year, and I was already out of water since the beginning of Day 2 but resupply is nowhere in sight. We marched to the campsite on Day 1 as part of route march training too.
ya man that was a nightmare. either filled with stones or roots. i was surprised that they didn't march to the campsite too.
I remember my field camp so vividly. It was raining 4/6 days(including SIT test), most of the days were just camping at the CQB houses. The only time had to sleep on shellscrape was on my birthday. And also the day I really used a latrine all my field camps LOL. Seeing this again brings back so much nostalgic memories.
Shiok leh still got bus transport to site. My time in 2013 outfield started with routematch from bmtc sch 1 to Sanyongkong Field Camp. Btw I'm from 5sir.
Wow, the elbow guard and knee guard looks good and expensive.
Finally proper equipment from SAF.
It’s still useless trust me, all it does is fall to your ankles
@@trevyendarukhanawalla6660 I don't know about you but it looks sturdier than the old one that's for sure.
The SBO though. Make less heat trap. That's the best
the knee guard just restricts your blood flow from your legs, personally i felt that its uncomfortable but elbow guard is good as it really prevents my elbows from hurting while proning
At least u guys had knee n elbow guards.
14:59 the sergeant wanna kick the IC 😂😂😂
during my commando bmt field camp at night, my buddy sleep walk to the instructor shed and placed his helmet there, and walked back to our patrol base. He only realised when he couldnt find his helmet the next morning. He got kicked out of commandos after bmt
Confirm geng one so no need serve ns
Honestly speaking, that field camp site I would say is the best. My field camp site was not so simple. Everywhere filled with moderate growing grass and trees everywhere (Smth like a plantation) so digging shellscape was a pain in the ass (Most of us didn't even managed to dig completely with 2 days allocated due to cat 1.
And wow the sgts actually went a day earlier to set up the latrine. Meanwhile my coy made us set it up ourselves 😅 and rmb the fun times of sitting on the tool while other guys turn it like a merry go round.
Also must be nice having the option of not replying whenever the encik ask them smth.
My buddy dug halfway and found a big boulder in the way. The sergeant thought they could break the boulder to only found that it was as big as his field pack...
so how in the end? re-dig another shell scrape?
@@lyhthegreat usually thats the case for my batch.
@@lyhthegreat No. he dug the backwards. so he was resting on the big boulder
Expectation: Trip flare demo + aircon bus
Reality: Thunder flash at 3am
lol it rained during my field camp, i remember sleeping in a pool of rainwater while having to guard the gun from getting stunned by the sergeants
@@lyhthegreat we got to use our basha at least, the rain was too heavy and every shellscrape flooded almost immediately. No one slept in a shellscrape that entire field camp, every single one stayed flooded
nowadays where can anyhow flashbang them wide awake at odd hours?
Safety violation and they need 8hr of rest at least LOL back then it was 12 midnight once 3 4 am another then its continuation of exercise till 11 am+ Zzzz
@@ezekielk.3629 in the field is 4hrs rest
Same. And we had that simulation thing the day after . Barely slept 5hrs. Sergeant just said gentlemen you want 8hrs or you want to go back to bunk?
Lmao, I just rmb during my BMT field camp we where practicing the movements and when I rolled left a huge ass centipede was right in my face. Gave me a huge scare.
witnessed a small running down one of my sergeant's sleeve. that thing just dropped from the trees and god damn that thing is fast
talking about BMT outfields centipede, we encountered one while digging a hole and all of us juz took out our bayonet and stab it to death
If it ain't raining, it ain't training.
Raining is more like a bonus to tackle the heat…
@@norman6499 can confirm, it rained every night(and most of the day) during our field camp. Can confirm being cold and wet is better than being hot and dry
Lol I remember during my field camp i took cover behind this tree, on top of an ant nest, and the ants were all over me and started biting me, but I was too tired and just let them have the feast of their lives. Went back to coyline after field camp and when showering, there were dead ants inside my underwear lololol
wth . lucky died liao ltr dk bite where
Best thing that happened to me was National Service. Had to learn how to be independent, live, sleep, eat with people of different background, culture and race. Had to be regimental, disciplined and always alert, lest I or my section mates get hurt. Rain, shine, hot and humid; learn to lead, set an example when I became a leader, and be encouraging even when I couldn't take the hardship. And mine was 2.5 years. One of the best years of my life!
wah shiok to do bmt in encik coy sia
Aircon bus to camp site... Last time.. 3 tonner would be a luxury already. If not we would walk to the campsite.
luxurious elbow and knee guards nowadays😂
Maybe not every Singaporean son. Did Patrick Tan, son of Dr Tony Tan, do this after the 12-year deferment of his National Service?
The way the instructors communicated already very nice 😎
so comfortable now, we only travels in 3 tonnes during the 90s in Tekong
haha 😅" take any bag and go". One guy just did that during our Ex Starlight in ROC in 1980 . His backpack went to another unit far away.
My first shellscrapes experience in BMT were a-little different.. Soil gave bountiful of rocks, roots and ants.. firearms had to be slung while digging.. arms-stealing already begun right off the bus-ride.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE COMBAT RATION? Mine was the sausage pasta and the red bean soup dessert or something.
I hated the dumpling/ glutinous rice ration!
the spicy noodles were great. any spicy ration was way better than the bland ass standard rations, thank god i got overexcited and ran to the front of the line on day 1 so i got first pick at the rations
Spinach cream pasta
My 24km route march was cancelled in Tekong due to a family of three elephants which swam from Johore to Tekong and foliage in the jungle there, heng ah! Who was there also?
Isn’t that in the 90s? Wahh I haven’t even born yet 😂😂
Different from my time in NS - this one is a combo of Platoon Harbouring n Defence. I remembered my Platoon harbouring - we ran platoon attack/retreat formation, ambush, squad terrain crossings. But our defence dig in starts at 9pm n must completed by 5am b4 sunrise ~ 2 guys to do a foxhole n 2 shell scrapes. After completion, attack overrun n retreat scenarios. Poor me, bloody 60mm motar carrier as well as heavy barrel AR15; b4 M203 grenade launcher.
Combat ration were bad - “dog” biscuits ~ so hard that if u throw a spin and hit your forehead, sure to bruise,butter cookies~ 100% constipation.
Go field camp
In BUS?!?!? wtf lol. We went in tonners
Yeah man Aircon buses, open air tonners lol...
Those were the days. Now even reservist take bus to range. xD
we walk u fool.
Wah go to field camp site by bus... since when tekong got bus one??
I think because of social distancing requirements, cannot have everyone squeeze into tonner? Not sure... My time (not so long ago) we route march to the field camp site............
I remember back in my days in the early 2010s, we route March to the shellscrape site. When I saw the bus, wth is going on with the current gen of soldiers lol.
Probably easier administration for bus over tonner.
Where got bus? Prep for 24km route March!
@@Melcor2304 we use bus still do 24km route march so whats the difference?
Wah soo good go field camp got bus somemore….my time kena march from coy line….discouraged and down because of the rain??? Hahahah
Damn taking bus to field camp😂. The current era soldiers are being pampered too much. During my time we have to march from company to field camp site.
Wah seh air con bus to outfield si bei welfare sia. My time 3 tonner halfway thru the journey ask us dismount and march in. Along the way Sgt keep playing arti drills haven reach training ground uniform already like dessert storm liao.
Having night blindness and going field camp really no joke..
People complaining about the intensity of the training, well this is 2022 not 20 or 22 years ago.Stop being stuck in the past and realized that times have changed.
Wait a minute, the sergeants are doing the latrine point? During my bmt, I was under the latrine party and the whole bunch of us had to do the work.
And wow, they no longer have to march to the field camp site with a heavier pack filled with combat rations?
I never did understand the older gen who frequently like to criticise the current gen of SAF, but now that it has been 10 years, I can really start to see why NGL
Wa now they take bus to the field camp site? Last time we road march to the site from Coy line. How times have changed.
Seeing them digging shellscrape reminded me of the time I was digging it as a recruit. My sergeant mentioned I seemed to be digging a swimming pool instead lol
Wow excursion bus to field camp area... Back in my time fucking road march everywhere to and fro
Sgts now dig latrine for recruits??
lol
Ikr... I was latrine party during my bmt and had to dig those latrine holes before the rest of the coy arrived.
Wah now dig don't need back sling rifle can put on ground already ah?
hope wartime , we get better grenades then current model , this new helmet also side coverage very bad leh , bullet can kanna head one ???
wah can dig shellscrape with the SAR one side. I got F*** and SOL for doing that during my days
Same LOL
Production is very high quality, keep it up! But the captions can be better 😭
Ya lor they spell my name wrongly 😩
@@aldenlee3004 ?
13:25 *WHY ALL SHAG DUNNO HOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE IS IT??!! WHOLE LOT KNOCK IT DOWN!!!*
Missing the good old days :)
Then suddenly our commanders pour water out from the jerry cans and shouted us to do leopard crawl. Best feeling
@@nizambeyond Followed by a jog up the slope and some push-ups & sit-ups switching, then burning our parents' "letters". That last one was a rollercoaster ride on many levels, some even tried to go against orders & save those fake letters, and we all know doing that as a recruit takes some huge balls.
@@Kanechi.Gaming you got that right
Especially when u happen to be your commander's first bmt batch. Still fresh out of Scs/Ocs fire still going strong, confirm eff us upside down. 😂😂
I rmb not too long ago we march 12km to field camp site and kena knock it down in FBO for moving too slow. Ours didnt rain but we were expected to run from point to point. We were given 2-3hrs to dig. Didnt meet the time kena leopard crawl from your shell scrape to FUP and back.. those were the days. Even kena crawl through latrine for not keeping it clean.
My turn soon in August 2022, but i have no idea where im being posted too yet haha. All I know is i failed my IPPT before enlisting and im going to go in sooner so i can get fitter and more resilient
All the best!! Keep a positive mindset!
All the best! Don't waste your 2 years dreading NS, give your all!
My time 2 person dig 2 she'll scrap and 1 foxhole within 5hrs, nearly died digging, lucky my buddy was a good digger.
Now sgt also have to teach recruit how to eat combat ration? Dig shell scrape also can rifle off also. #goodlife
helmet also can off
Shellscrape is shag but do they dig fire trenches? That is really the "killer".
Why they go jungle in air con bus? We were in tonner last time
0:27 oi don't point at Joshua oi OI 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
they have buses to fetch them to the camp site. damn! not long ago it was 5 tonner. huge discrepancy!
I actually thought walking to the field camp site was the norm. Or maybe things have change.
I recall walking there in 2007. Where got so chill one
Not too long ago we march 12km there and kena FBO knock it down for moving too slow. Batch 03/14
Nabei recruits nowadays damn good life take coach with aircon to camp site
Back in 06, squeeze like sardine with helmet on at the back of the 5-tonner and it's super uncomfortable
Need to wayang for the camera one lah. They probably get f**ked later after camera crew leave
Where’s the fun when you’re not travelling there in a tonner?
At least let the TOs clock a little bit of mileage..
Used to be route march there.. dont even have tonner or bus. Lol
Hmmm .... didn't we use to dig foxholes right after setting up shellscrapes? No more foxholes?
My combat rations were hardtack and canned sardines and/or canned chicken stew.
bruh they got an aircon bus to field camp....
No more use tonners?
Transport not enough manpower nowadays. Some coy got tonner to transport, some have to get contractors to ferry them.
@@ZearthGJL no wonder. Yes that makes sense. With the drop in birth rate, SAF had to prioritise manpower to frontline combat units 1st.
Bruh, when I was in bmt in 2013, my coy MARCHED there from the start.
i rmb my ground for field camp was new and the ground full of roots dig until want die
Still don’t understand what is a 30sec FCO for?
When they were under enemy fire.
Those older Saf soldiers alwaya say digging shellscrape is equal to digging your own grave🤣
its does help , but war time i wont dig it so small, lol
When an arty shell lands and explodes nearby while you're huddled in the shellscrape, it'd be an easy grave. Enemy shell would've done the burying for you. 🤣
Wheres my tonner? where is the route march?? field holiday?!
Field camp look fun
Now they use bus to ferry to site. Next time mindef will use FERRARI to ferry the recruits to site. Believe me. Haha
issac is a meme, I love it
My field camp started with a 4am turnout, tekan then route march 8-10click to FC site...where got take bus one sia.
01/14 BMT batch 8 years ago.
Every Singaporean SIave
Sounds more right
Yes bro, that is the proper term
We had wild boar dashing thru our basha at night and I suffered a huge abrasion on my tight as I kept my map on my side pocket during night topo.
They should had chosen an officer coy, at least it wouldn't be as "chill" as this. But nonetheless, every batch goes through something different.
why encik coy more slack ?
am A GPMG assistant and the MG is shiok to use but troublesome to maintain and Imagine digging a MG shellscrape, x3 of the regular one. The area I dug at had fucked up amount of roots and rocks
That ground is softer than my bed! Thank god they didn't get the clay campsite.
yeah man i got that fucking campsite and it was a nightmare
And those campsite with lots of roots underneath. Have to constantly chop the roots
@@truelord jibai that's right, thank god the place we did didn't have too many big roots, the small ones just made it harder to dig, big ones made us move to redig the hole
Why so good?! can take bus to camp site. They make us route march 12 KM to the camp site.
When ur bmt?
Ah yes, Field Camp. Wet, Tired, Hungry. That's all I remember.
Really bro? I spend almost 2 years in tekong and never see the stars in my life.
The stars are brighter at the reclaim land area where there are fewer trees
The flashback is stoink when they were eating the combat ration
Got bus to fetch u to camp site?? Old days walk all the way. Haven start dig already half shag lol. Once start digging, ia drill lol
Is this holiday school field camp?
No Makhani Bean Stew lol
wow theres coach bus now, 10 years ago I went to field camp in 5 ton trucks even as PES C for 2D1N camp
Hello from Ukraine
We hope your doing ok at Ukraine stay strong
Nabeh now like holiday camp. In 2005 we kana tekan at the toilet doing push up and raining sia. Cos one goodu never bury his shit. I still remember got shit flowing thru the rainwater in front of me😅😅😅😅
12:15 AH SLEEP!!! WAKE UP!! 🤣 I'm from mono intake even worse than this.
Eh wen jie pull lah cb
take bus to field camp meh? last time we FBO on and march to the camp site sia basket
Man their LBV looks so nice, comfy, and maneuverable now like the Nazi era ones. My time we had the stupid vest/bra style that made it hard to pee and dissipate any body heat due to how clingy it was to your body
same, fucking stupid ILBV had 0 fucking heat dissipation. When your men are routinely getting fever temps from light activity with the damn things on it should probably be a priority to get that shit fixed, but no we had that garbage for like what 8 years?
Damn shiok nowadays.
Go training in aircon bus.
My time in 3tonner.
4:14 that was the worse experience of my life lmao
Did the rules change or was my coy back then extra af and required us to backsling rifle during shellscrape digging? Honestly that was the worst.
Also, the new LBV looks super comfy for shellscrape digging ah
yep same, the highcut helmets and lbvs are way better than the stupid lowcuts and ILBVs that just trapped heat. Backslinging the rifle was needed to stop sgt from stealing it, and god help you if they took your magazine while you were caught sleeping
And they are complaining hot. Imagine what we went through with t ilbv helmets on, back sling rifle and suddenly and constant arty drill and knock it down
@@truelord I mean they aren't wrong. It would be fucking hot for them since they have nothing to compare it with
We had to back sling during shellscrape digging because field camp still need to maintain weapon discipline.
There's no way we would have been allowed to leave our rifles by the side UNATTENDED without any rifle stunning or any form of punishment at all.
Shame that these things have diluted over the years.
@@lychvy8023 I disagree eh. I feel like I would react faster grabbing my rifle at the side then slinging my rifle forward, adjusting the sling.. not to mention it always gets caught in your toggle rope/ canteen/ arc of fire ... And if the rifle gets in the way of your digging, and makes it longer to dig, I would even argue it's safer to dig faster with your rifle at the side so you can take cover faster
Dayum. Training the soldiers to be vloggers. I like that.
Then the guy look like nerd want to defend our country 😟 gg liao
@@0_0oweee4 because looks dont matter, maybe throw away ur old school thinking lah.
Bus to field camp? wtf. During my time, we did 16km route march straight to camp site, then did fire and movement.
same lol
walan eh now take bus to field camp ah. same leh. last time we route march there, reach there only jitao tio kan liao. not even half the day, already half of life gone
Cb, this are the soldiers defending our nation. I didn know now SAF indent tour bus for us to go to war now
When's ur bmt?
Yea man. I also think that all this softness during their field camp will just dilute the experience when they receive the letters from their loved ones. During my field camp in 2013, the sergeants really made us work for those letters. Tekan us like mad for the days preceeeing that event on the wet muddy ground.
Wtf bus to field camp site??! I rmbr marching 12km there siao liao.
During my time they called it sitrep but now they called it ACE? Cool...think it was Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Whisky & Mike. Alpha 1 Bravo 0 Charlie 50% Delta Whiskey high Mike high
Much has changed over the last 10 years. Good for the soldiers today. I guess there's no longer a need to walk to campsite. We have armoured personnel carriers anyway.
My time we had to prepare our own shit area, not the sergeant help prepare lol 🤔🤔
Can't wait to see what that US soldier thinks of this...
Seems like the whole BMT they only trained at platoon level. Thought supposed to be company level?
Sergeant can scold each other??
wa got bus go site?
Wa not bad le fieldcamp like so shiok like that. Last time 2015, my fieldcamp just right after alighting from the bus, palm touch the ground, face the ground already (knock it down).
Huh?? Still take bus? Our whole Coy Marched 8km to the Site..
@@thiaahmin7176 i know laaa, but dont ask me why take bus cause i wear helmet cannot think only follow what they arrange
