from old time army stories

it has only rained once during NDP in 1966 iirc

 

ever since then, the rain god always give 5 hr grace period during NDP

 

i wonder if it will rain tomorrow... for the second time since independence, since it could be an indicator that the heavens are not too pleased with the pappies....

 

 

they always have pepper chilli garlic onion ready to stop the rain for that few hours [laugh]

Bullseye. I wonder if they do plan for such contingencies or any SOPs for such incidents, or they just assumed the president will always give the go ahead.

 

Or would she ask "How har?", with legs probably shaking and a voice no longer able to shout.

Oh Ya, this year we have char bo Parade Comm............... maybe she'll just give prez a tight slap, typical instinctive reaction when a char bo panick!! ........... yes/no??

 

or stomp her feet and cry??

And the flypast still proceed with clockwork precision while those on the ground are still deliberating the next course of action ... this would have been one of the best mischief by the top man.

He can't be faulted since his permission is required.

if he really does it, i will vote him for as vice prez, (new post for all future NDay parades....)

 

its time for sgp to relak and let loose once a year... so every NDay parade will have everyone kept in suspense until vice prez decides on the spot to say yes or no to the parade commander...

his ultimate words are 'let me flip my prata first,very fast'.

since he's been repeating "I have tried my BEST" in the past few weeks, he will then add "Wait!! ... My best prata not yet flipped, let me do it the last time......... VERY FAST!!"

will the squadron keep repeating their flypast?... what if the decision on the ground takes long and the planes run out of fuel? .... and the parachutpers landed, must they climb back to the plane and re-do the jump?

Most probably they will make "lao tian" clear his Bowel in the morning by having man-made rain.

The sky will drop blood on national day ..... sweat already no more....

No lightning related injuries reported in SAF recently, so they'll carry on with everything until one happens.

Then they'll freeze all activities, if not then too bad, the GOH contigents can enjoy cleaning their rusty rifles after that.

 

It would be more interesting if the president decides to create one last NDP mischief before he goes by denying the parade commander the permission to march off and what his reaction would be like.

 

 

Im GOH of navy during NDP 2000.. farking parade commandar c--k up.. shouting wrong comand..
