      Yeah, saw quite a few times before. I believed they were from 3 SIR & 4 SIR, when they were at Bedok Camp. Their mono-intakes also used to do their field camps & trench-diggings in the uncleared land next door, towards Siglap.

      Some units organized Saturday jogs at ECP too, usually conducted in a good mood cuz can book out from there (at 10-plus in the morn).

      I did my ECP route march alooooong time ago (ahem 1988!). We started off near the airport cargo complex, go all the way down ECP and have a stop break outside MacDonalds... then continue down to Fort road.

      Our platoon was at the rear column of the company (because we are the faster-moving scout platoon), and we are also the only platoon to maintain formation throughout the road march.

      Me from 3 SIR.

      Well, if you ever saw, while doing OP in a foxhole near/opposite Kew Gardens, someone waving at you upstairs in a passing No.10 double-decker bus -- that's me! ~lol~

      I think the unit who must've drawn the most civilian attention whenever they go route-marching was 1SIR when they were at Guillemard. That camp bordered Geyland to the north, Dakota Estate (Old Airport Rd) to the west, Mountbatten to the south & Tanjong Katong (?) to the east. Even moving out for normal field EXs must've been quite a conspicious affair.

      this must have been some time ago, 1SIR moved out of Guillemard Camp for some years now..
