Toothiewabbit Supersonic April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 'Butler service' to store and bring field pack to camp: Useful or will it make NSmen soft?- http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/butler-service-to-store-and-bring-field-pack-to-camp-useful-or-will-it-make-nsmen I wonder the 100 pengs who signed up for their services....lao pengs or strawberry pengs har??.... "Pick-up, storage and delivery of the bag costs $60 a year. Washing of fatigues and physical training attire costs $20 for 10 items, and sewing and replenishing of items are pegged to "Beach Road rates" - a reference to prices at the military supplies shops there. Bag disposal costs $25 a trip. Deliveries can be made at two days' notice. The bags are stored in warehouses located islandwide." This kind expenses are rather unnecessary isn't it?.....I rather take taxi to beer gardens during nights off leh LOL ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wartime enemy bomb the warehouse and a bulk of our soldiers lost their PE. An non equipped soldier is half the battle lost. Unless the coy has a solid process to return all barang barang to customer in an impeding war. I think mindef will step in to stop this. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 Mostly need to do one time swee swee can already mah. I hardly touch the things that are packed in the full pack. Wash uniform washing machine do most of the work. After wash, take out, flick and hang to dry. Dun even need to iron. As long as dun leave it in the washing machine it will not get crumpled. Properly fold the uniform as per the creases, stack nicely can liao. The sewing and stuff also one time beach road event. After ICT, everything properly cleaned just pack into alibaba bag and put one corner in the storeroom. Like that also need to pay ppl to do it for you? Looks like army has changed a lot since I MRed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had this bag and have to go for reservist, I would probably use this service also to store my bag. It takes up alot of space leh. My bro does have this bag and has to go for reservist and he has a hard time finding place to store the bag cuz our storeroom full of stuff already. Lol. Luckily I no need to go for reservist so only 2 of these in the house. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 I enjoyed scanning my IC on last day the most, follow closely by booking out. On a serious note; meeting with old pals, & especially after field training, you appreciate the little things in life more, like hot shower, & warm bed. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
