Fall In! The Unofficial Guide to Surviving Basic Military Training
Author: Matthew Chew
Publisher: Epigram Books
ISBN: 9814901393
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Basic Military Training. Every Singaporean male goes through it, yet not everyone gets all the details beforehand. We’re here to help – unofficially. We’ve got your back. These pages contain everything you want – and need – to know about Basic Military Training (BMT) and National Service (NS). And we mean everything. Written for boys and their worried parents, Fall In! pulls back the curtains on a rite of passage and explains all the baffling terms. What is POP? Are mobile phones really prohibited? What is a water parade? What can you bring to make life at camp easier? (Pro-tip: a little Febreze goes a long way.) And how do you handle the unavoidable Tekong barber? This easy-to-read, comprehensive guide goes beyond what Mindef will tell you and is the perfect companion to BMT. The authors talked to many recruits and NSmen during their time in NS and received support from the National Youth Council to write this book. Reader Reviews: "A concise, quirky guide to the National Service enlistment process, this book is a must-read for everyone on the brink of enlistment. Interspersed with nuggets of wisdom and humour, it underlines the tips and tricks for Basic Military Training while acting as a thorough guide." —Teo Xue Shen, author of 18 Walls who completed full-time NS in 2018 "If SAF issued this to all recruits, maybe there wouldn’t be so many blur sotongs around. Actually accurate and clear." —Private Chan Bing En, currently in NS

Book Description
Every American fighting man and woman share one thing in common: they have all survived basic military training. Basic tells the story of that training. Medal of Honor recipient Col. Jack Jacobs and David Fisher recount the funny, sad, dramatic, poignant, and sometimes crazy history of how America has trained its military, told through the personal accounts of those who remember the experiences as if they happened yesterday. If you've been through basic or boot camp, these memories of drill instructors, marching chants, combat training (and the "gas chamber"), hospital corners, and the shared feeling of triumph are guaranteed to make you smile. And those who haven't done it will understand and appreciate this life-changing experience that turns a civilian into a soldier—and in just eight weeks.

Pages : 158
Book Description
Meet Abriana Yeo, 13, awkward and friendless. Meet Octavia Wu, a graceful teenage alien with superpowers. Forced to flee her home planet Viridis after an invasion by "The Others", another alien species, Octavia and her parents crash-land in the Singapore heartland. Pretending to be a foreign student, Octavia enters secondary one and befriends Abriana, who then helps her in her quest to find the Anteris, a missing element the alien family needs if they want to return to Viridis to help in the war effort. All the while, the two girls also need to navigate the intricate web of teenage drama at Bukit Timah Secondary Girls’ School (BTSGS), where mean girls thwart their search efforts every step of the way. Behind the adventure, mystery and sci-fi, this middle-grade novel also explores the pertinent issues that teenagers typically deal with in a local school setting—friendship, loyalty, CCAs, homework and bullies.
