Thousands of innocent little boys like me are thrown into green, screamed at, psychoed and tortured into fine undedicated SAF soldiers. The 2 years 4 months of slavery. But if you were to let your guard down and get too caught up in civillian affairs, reservist will be hell. It's true, Uncle Junxiang just survived 5 days in some god-forsaken camp through acting blur, answering 'yes sir!', feigning life-threatening injuries during training and numbing my senses with nicotine.

It struck me in my morose state after the 5 days in-camp, that there's been too much good publicity for our dear green organisation running on brainless machismo and kept in this state by psychotic regulars. Has anyone ever taken the time to explain what 'Army 21' actually is?

Just to show you an example of where regulars get their daily excitement from:

I was walking into Tg Gul ICT camp when this Neaderthal Warrant Officer came up.

'You think this is your grandfather's camp? Wake up ok? As long as you are in uniform I don't care if you are Superman outside ok? Bloody Monkey, come in here ya ya like this is Shangrila'

"Sir, I'm reporting for reservist..."

'Argue somemore. When I say move, you better move like lightning understand?'

"Yes Sir! (*Grumbling and cursing him in my head*)"

'Ah, ah, what is this? Tinted hair... nee nau hia. Wah, big shot ah, boots not kiwi-ed. not happy with SAF issit?'

"Sir, my hair is black, it's the sunlight"

'What, not happy ah?'

See? These guys will never be satisfied unless u look like some siao-on recruit, when you are actually a reservist. Guys, enter ICT at your own peril. There are too many such cock stories, ask anyone: brother, father, friends, bf or cousins... believe in the super garang 'Army 21' commercials if you want to be deluded. See Beh Du Lan ah!!!!!!!

*I'm even beginning to sound like them :P :(
