just in case i dont make it down tmr, but pls do call me, in case i'm slping my ass off after taking time to do this entry. haha.
things you need but not in list:
-fabreze (clothes disinfectant. impt!!! coz u only have like 2 sets of clothes for 2 weeks? and esp if you do not want to wash your clothes)
-black tapes (lots but not so early)
-admin shirts and PT kit, including shorts (the more, the better since you guys have no hols to talk of)
-snacks (lots! the more the better. trust me, you're gonna be hungry. even if not, you need to feed the "hungry ghosts")
-spare batteries for handphone or manual/AA battery-operated charger (IMPT)
-coins (for vending machine)
-your own towel (preferably, the SAF ones are non-absorbent)
-books (might not need if you dowan to be too loner)
-alarm clock (loud one)
-deodorant (for book out only)
-SAF white socks(dun bother bringing your own, you dunnid green ones unless ur opposed to wearing them for more than a day)
-ur RI locker lock (but check with ur commanders first)
things you have to get sooner or later:
-ID tag cover (one circle, one oval)
-orange cloth
-garters(you will lose them)
-ziploc bags
-specs hooks
-prickly heat powder
there's still some more. but oh well, tt's all for now la.
and, then, tips from me.
1. go mingle with your section mates, and platoon mates.
2. just make sure you move fast.
3. do whatever you want, but dont get caught. (#1 rule in SAF)
4. water parades. just gulp everything down as fast as possible then keep it there. if you drink slowly, you will just start to feel fuller
5. area cleaning/stand by. you can never do enough to satisfy them. they will almost certainly find something wrong with the place
6. try to bring as little stuffs as possible for enlistment, like the abovemost. but should be fine la. just make sure you can carry, coz you get 2 more big bags.
7. oh the most impt part, make sure you check everything they asked you to. esp the stock items. if not, you have to go buy replacements yourself.
8. weapons. rmb to check clear and keep them locked in your locker when not in the bunk.
