IIRC, we only had 3 showers in the toilet so washing uniform was not something one could do during shower. Easier to do so in an active unit company line than BMT I guess.Ĭome to think of it, I could have only 3 sets of uniform. TBH, we just stand in line while someone will use the water hose to hose the mud / soil off. Think the problem is people have this image of the boy showering / bathing and washing the hair with soap while the uniform is on Common sense right! Mind the one who says no one does these! Some comments makes me sound like an idiot. Same for muddy boots, once back from training then rinse with water WHILE WEARING IT. The boys have a choice, wait one hour or more for the washer and dryer, or chop chop wash and sleep! And I mean wait right there else freshly washed uniforms will be claimed away. Two sets of uniform can rotate the whole week. Then the boy starts to bath! He can change to a new set of uniform for next day, and process repeat when back from training. You either use your hand or a small brush to scrub the shirt, sleeves and pants with a little detergent.Īfter which take the uniforms off and rinse once under the shower, then twist it and hang out to dry later on like what floppy mentioned. The thingy about wearing uniforms while bathing is to drain away the soil and mud more easily and faster then using a small pail, or basin or floor. By the time you reach second year, you will probably have more than 5 sets of uniform. Don't underestimate the intensity of Singapore's sun.Īrmy gave you 5 sets of uniform: 1 for standby, 1 for field pack, 3 sets for training which you can have at least 1 set on the clothes line waiting to dry all the time. Iron?! Just hang on the clothes lines till dry lor. that’s why good to join uniform grp, go for lots of camps etc field cookings etc n we also seen the dirty laundry after each cca camp. “mummy boys “since Pri sch to poly / jc so sheltered. No dryer then n no laundry mart for them - our Dhs n uncles here are supposedly tougher- most of current boys a bit. In the old days, my hub ironed the uniform if not totally dry. hubby told me he washed it during his army days.
