8:20pm

Booking in time is 8:20pm.  Seems odd.  I suspect the actual book-in time is 8:30pm and the instructors must have told the recruit to come 10 mins earlier.  We arrived 8:10 and many recruits are already waiting at the main gate.  Many cars are still coming after us.  B2 is worried about going for Section Commander course.  He is afraid as they have told him that it is going to be tough and men have gone OC or out-of-course.  It is all relative.  Life in SCDF is relatively easy compared to Army.  However, it is still so stressful.  All able-bodied Singaporean boys have to go through this passage.  It is a way for the country to be defended.  It is also makes all male citizens obedient.
