courtesy of xianglong and due to requests from some other squids, here's some clarification of NS jargon.
Pulau tekong, where BMT ( Basic Military Training) takes place for our army boys, has 2 schools normally, an exception of a school 3 only when the dragon yr people goes in, ie last yr
in each school, there are 13 companies. in school one, the companies are named alphabetically from A to M and in school 2 from N to Z ( not sure abt this one, but theoretically it's evenly splity, but i noe M, moehawk is in school 2, so i dunno la). School one is located more inland, ie further from the jetty so the sad asses who get posted there, like me has to walk a hell long way before we can reach camp. School 2 is located right at the jetty, with a nice sea view like a chalet :)
each company consist of roughly 200 boys/men, and each company has 4 platoon, platoon 1, platoon 2 to platoon 4. each platoon has roughly 50 people. and each platoon is then split into 4 sections, and consist of roughly 12 people each. Each section lives in the same bunk.
