PARADES

This is the one thing army loves to have. And there all sorts of parade, national day parades, COC parades, CO parades, POP parades, mastur parades, SAF day parades, staff parades, turn-out parades, water parades.

Water parades are one of a kind. We were shout out the seven SAF core vaules, followed by the words drink up, and finally, drink up the whole water bottle of water. The first time we did this, we urined at a rate more often than babies. We did it in the morning, at night, before and after exercises, during route marches, all the time. Imagine visting the toilet frequently in the night to pee and still had to not let your sergeant catch you not sleeping in your bed.

Mastur parades are still a mystery to me, done only once in my life while i was a trainee in SISPEC. And my company does it with style. This was how it goes. My company was made to fall in with SBO and helmet, FAD and ID tag and our rifle too. Then we were soon made to form up in the leader's square without all those items. The other BSLC companies soon joined us. Together, we had a flag raising. Followed by a short speech and a quick prize cememory. When everything was done, My company was told to put on our SBO, helmet, rifle, and after making sure we had FAD abd ID tag too, we pulled down our sleeves and immdiately marched off.

To our playground, the well loved SOC.
