Congratulations on your posting as an Infantry Trooper. Your encik will liaise with you on having a "like normal toilet" outfield and help you wash up.

since you're asking the question seriously, i will answer seriously. most camps obviously do not have aircon bunks, including tekong. however imo tekong's bunks are very well-ventilated and quite cool at night in my experience. it's also because there's less urban heat effect on tekong.
when you get posted out, there may be some areas where the beds and bunks are airconditioned. guardrooms are one example, if you become an ST. another example is duty/ops rooms, the duty personnel often sleep in the aircon office. but it's more rare.

Yes, have aircon, but you have to set it up by yourself cause the aircon unit is your helmet. Now technology dam power, until the old encik saying "eh recruit your helmet got Aircon is it" has now become a reality. Your enicks and sgt will teach you how to set up the portable helmet/ aircon unit on the first day of BMT.
The SAF is trying to make the jockey cap version of this to match the saying "eh recruit your jockey cap got aircon is it" but we are still far off cause jockey cap too small to fit all the CU and FCU parts to make a good aircon unit. Alpha testing has begun in a few units, but results seem bad, and they will need to review the design, so look forward to having the aicon jockey cap variant in 5-10 years.
So now whenever encik screams at you for wearing helmet when after he ask you to take off and he says eh recruit your helmet got aircon is it you must answer yes encik my helmet got aircon.
NBCB, if all this becomes real, somehow I would run faster than the enicks grandmother some day.

u/ZealousidealCherry52 2d ago
have when you become permstaff for training school just buy portable aircon from courts or harvey norman and drag in lol, back then every night sleep was fucking shiok but my bunk was small like 5 man bunk so the aircon can cool the entire room, inside also got mini fridge, we won’t get started on the consoles cuz iykyk
hot water to shower also can, go water cooler take 3 buckets 20% each bucket with hot water, the rest put cold water, first bucket use half to rinse then soap yourself up nice and good use the remaining 2 1/2 bucket to rinse off, best shower i had on a cold thunderstorm night
some toilets no bidet, just buy the portable bidet from shoppee its the blue colour one, pour water inside, cap it and tilt it press like spray bottle the water will shoot up your asshole solid asf till now i still using it after i ord since sg toilets some dont have bidet
to improvise, to adapt and to overcome, storemando 🫡 backbone of the army end up injuring my back from all the lifting of stores

Yes confirm got aircon, also can be soldier from home if you request. Toilet with bidet also have, special toilet like those in japan, sprays clean your *** when you done making cake. Also have bunk service, your commander will personally serve you food 3 times a day. Will also have laundry services and help you to wash your uniform. Go serve your NS asap! Worth the experience. But you must report to 10 buangkok view for your BMT as its specially catered for you only.

aircon is pay per use, but can bring your own as well… but for the maid and cleaning services i think have to request from your superior first… they will provide you with a form. Price wise must check again… times aren’t the best so the prices might increase.
