[lightningstrike]

hhaahh...NDP'99. So u must have witness one GOH contigent doing push up durin one of the rehersal at the stadium n refusin to recover

sounds familiar leh....... i know goa a lot of ###### up la........ rehearse day and night, there were even a few sundays i need to sleep over at the stadium........ but nevertheless, a once in a lifetime experience.......

u may call me mad, but i really love reservist except for the PT part. good bunch of buddies we hv...... all in all abt 40 of us.... all specialists.

[terryansimon]

Wei...

every time I go to Kallang KFC with my friends for their car meetups, I get reminded horribly about the times we had during NDP....

I swore off KFC and Pizza Hut ever since then. I still have phobia eating fried chicken from KFC.

one slice of pizza plus one drumlet, and one Ba Bao Char *8 treasure tea*. that was lunch.

sometimes it was good that I was part of QM. asked my QM to indent vegetarian makan for me some times.

[weileong]

Just one NDP and you guys complain so much. I was involved in NDP92 (Marching contingent where they formed the word Singapore in 4 languages, I was the tip of the "p") and NDP96 color escort.

In 92 only got KFC, every rehearsal at stadium only KFC... eat till you want to die. In 96 you got KFC and Mac, on rotation, one time KFC, one time Mac, eat until you want to puke.....

In 92 I had to stay in camp then draw rifle the next morning. In 96 I had to wake up 5:30am to rush to camp to draw arms. The rehearsal only 1/2 day but after everything you reach home like 4pm. If afternoon rehearsal then reach home like 8pm. Somemore if lau chek not happy then you march until you leg gone case.

The rehearsal starts in March and all the way till 9th August. One week 3 times, not including weekends. Sat, Sun all burn, GF also bye bye lol.

After NDP finished, year end assessment say you never contribute to the unit so ranking also dropped. You not around and your colleague needs to cover your duty (cos you excuse duty from March till August) they also pissed off with you.

Wear Navy No.1 white white put good servce medal also no pride on that day.

End up you loose loose loose.

[terryansimon]

urh. we were there for more than just rehearsals. I remember every Thursday got system run, Saturday and Sunday rehearsals, Tuesday got another system run. four days in a week.

together with Wei, we had it easy lah. only take photos and eat snake. ahahahaha.

[weileong]

Everyone that gets involved in the NDP also curse and swear one, down from the very bottom up to the very top Do you think the chairman also like it?

The parade commander LTC also kanna pressure a lot, one small mistake on that day and you kanna marked by everyone on top Remmeber the Parade commander that screws up during the firing of the blanks few yrs ago ?

Oh yes they might have reduced the NS term by 6 months for A level and diploma holders but then they still want to you take your IPPT until 45yrs old for WOSE and 50 yrs old for comissioned officers, now that is the big killer compared to the 6 months.

[terryansimon]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh yes I totally forgot about the IPPT situation.

[weileong]

I really run the 2.4km run until I butahan, somemore if fail you go RT. One week 2 times, one weekday and weekend, you skip one you make up the next week. Skip w/o valid reason you get charged for AWOL, fine first and if still skip then you go DB. After DB come out still have to take your IPPT. There is no escape!

Get an overseas posting Don't come back till you're 45yrs old.

Somemore nowadays they send you one letter tell you to take IPPT, you continue to take every year until they send you a letter telling you that you're no longer required to take the yearly IPPT. Previously you just pray hard the admin screw up and never send you the letter. Now totally different. hiak........

[coralreef]

NDP....i siam both NDP 98 and NDP99.....NDP98 still a newbie in the camp...no need to go.....was damn lucky...cos those old birdies come back damn shack.....

NDP99...lucky downgraded, no more ops for me...so I siam...

well...NDP is still not too bad....imagine when you on duty...normal duty which i had.....some of the days got to wake up at 4am and got to move out by 4:30....when you report back to camp was like 8pm onwards....or even 12midnight...and next day may need to go at 4:30 again....

got 1 mth...."*** duty" got like 15 NORMAL DUTIES in a mth....also used to it....

[nleong]

NDP ? nb... never want to kenna that again... got the 2001 one... the only thing i'm proud of is during the actual day, see the crowd clap and cheers and you suddenly feel that all the efforts paid off.. other than that, kfc, pizza (only once) eat until kpkb.... hope no more... pray hard hard... if not sian man....
