Then rest time, those idle ones no take out boots/socks one, next day go back, will be the start... some more prone ones, super jialat. if we had the means, would have gone to draw chemical mask (but only later in reservist then we learnt this...) to wear 🤣 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the benefit of those like me, MRE stands for Meals Ready to Eat. I don't understand what is so bad about "combat rations" though. I miss the glutinous rice in the green pack, and the dice pork and tuna in the can (they are from different era which I managed to cross during my NSF). The tuna goes very well with biscuits. I remember the dessert in the green pack is also quite ok. Damn, I'm hungry now thinking about them. those you mentioned, i only got to taste it during ICTs. during NS days, it was the old-fashioned combat ration wrapped in clear plastic bags, either: non halal: 1 can of pork cubes, 1 can of baked beans, 1 can of sardines, few packs dog tacks, 1 choc bar, 2 (i think) packs of lemonade powder... halal: 1 can of chicken pieces in place of the pork cubes, the rest same... when we tasted the green pack ones, felt like change from hawker food to hotel food leh... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still buy and wear the white socks for exercise and the black socks for work. the only thing wrong is wear already cannot excuse from exercise during rain 😂, so will get wet, and keep the foot soaked... easily contributing to foot rot... agree back socks power. i wear 10 yr for work also won't spoil... must be most worthy buy for the emart credits liao... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I agree the dice pork goes well with Maggie. We ate the dice pork a few times in Tekong. Nobody told us cannot eat pork in Tekong, and they issued us pork before our topo/mission. Once we ate it very near the "famous location", without knowing pork is prohibited of course. wah... 33 yr after i first stepped foot on tekong, i never knew cannot eat pork there leh... sure bo? we got buy luncheon meat to eat during one shooting exercise just before we ROD leh... although i forgot about the food/combo got pork or not... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
