during the first 2 weeks there should be a swimming test in hendon camp, very easy swim 50m with breaststroke. Strictly breaststroke. On subsequent weeks depending on the schedule they will bring everyone to hendon camp for a swim and those ppl that failed the test will be taught how to swim while the swimmers will be doing some PT along side the pool.
do don't worry if you cant swim, they wont kick you out. But when your BMT and vocational training is over and you get posted back to battalion... i think swiming will be quite crucial then. But you have all the time in the world now to learn breaststroke, so don't worryyy

Russia double agent visits Singapore! Its cool to know there are SVRR intelligence officers from Moscow in Singapore. What ever SVRR means.
from http://intellit.muskingum.edu/spycases_folder/nicholson_folder/nicholsonpress.html
- In June 1996, Nicholson went to Singapore on personal travel. Two known SVRR intelligence officers from Moscow were in Singapore while Nicholson was there. While in Singapore, Nicholson used his counter-surveillance techniques before meeting with Russian intelligence officers at a remote location. Nicholson was not authorized to make the contact. After the contact, Nicholson made several large cash transactions involving approximately $20,000.
Can someone teach me some counter surveillance technique?

Stop shopping there until they can actually Police the place.
Otherwise, Singaporeans who go there to shop, are actually risking their lives - not just valuables and money.
And for those who are stubborn, and complacent, GOOD LUCK!Their police also not very trustworthy la. I heard many story regarding traffic police giving out "fines".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_water_torture
Chinese water torture is the popular name for a method of water torture in which water is slowly dripped onto a person's forehead, driving the victim insane. This form of torture was first described under a different name by Hippolytus de Marsiliis in Italy in the 16th century. Supposedly the torture in dripping water is the slow rate at which the water flows. The victim can almost predict when the next drop will fall and a sense of tension builds up. When the drop finally does fall, a sense of shock and relief follows, only to be replaced with more tension about the next drop. The release of tension (no matter how small it is) prevents the victim from withdrawing inside himself. As this does not require interaction on the part of the torturer it can be done continuously.
The American television program MythBusters had mixed success with the Chinese Water Torture myth. They proved that when the victim is restrained, Chinese Water Torture is in fact torture, but this is caused by the restraints. The required torture equipment (and involuntary restrictions on movement) is highly efficient even without adding the discomfort of the water drip. The water drip itself, without the equipment, is almost negligible. The show performed two experiments, one in which a victim was restrained and had water dripping on her head and another where the victim was not restrained but still had water dripping on his head. The restrained victim reported elevated levels of stress and anxiety, while the unrestrained victim reported a mild level of annoyance. MythBusters cast member Kari Byron was unable to handle being restrained while subjected to the Chinese Water Torture for more than a couple of hours before breaking down.

they'll tie you down like a pig so you can't move, then direct drips of water onto a particular patch of bare skin .... it won't hurt at all initially ... but it's a different story 24 hours later ... you'll be screaming with every drop ...
though I think the version ditzy had in mind involved bathtubs and men in red berets ....What cause the POW to break? Is it painful literally or is it the mental stress?
I guess one must go through this shit to actually know.

its good to hear that it can be done.
You mentioned it took you a while to get use to it. How long huh your a while? And during that "a while" you bobo shooter ah?

Yes it is mind over body. But sometime you really need to listen to your body else you will lose your body.
I think they need to know when to stop and how much can their body take.

To me, I see Taiwan as the "aggressor" now. They don't seem to want peace with China. They keep claiming that China is massing an huge array of weapons to attack them bla bla bla. They even reject China's gift of 2 pandas.
Taiwan seems to be trying to piss China off. Few months ago they still go abolish the don't know what unification board. Add oil to fire only.
China is probably planning to regain Taiwan in a more "legit" way by winning the hearts of the people. Ah bian scared he lose keep on accusing China this China that. Freaking hum, still talk what democracy.
