| QUOTE |
| Story starts at the Beach Road Army Market with Cindy trying to buy an epaulette for the boyfriend, only to find out that she doesn't know what her boyfriend's rank is. She bumps into Mdm Wong and Sue who brings her to SISPEC, where they meet an instructor who shows them around and explains the different specialist and enlistee ranks to them. These includes the difference between a specialist cadet and a specialist, origins of the Specialist Corp, what the specialist ranks are and how one can identify them, as well as the roles of the specialists within the SAF. |

Basic Military Talk Episode 2: Cracking the Code
Synopsis:
| QUOTE |
| Cindy and Mdm Wong meet up with a distressed Sue. She shows them SMSes on a mobile phone and tells them that she suspects her husband is having an affair. They assure her this is the way guys talk in the Army and bring her to and Army Camp to decode the language. There, they meet three soldiers who explain some of the commonly used terms (e.g., book in/book out, knock it down, sign extra, stand by bed, water parade). Through the conversation, they help the women understand that the lingo aids communication, fosters a bond among the men and comes from shared experiences. |

It's good to see on Cyberpioneertv's part for introducing this kind of light "refreshments" in local defence vids.. Well, we know it's just a storyline but how did they (civilians w/o official business) get into the camps in the first place?? & they enter the camps just to ask questions?? LOL.. :lol:

He grumbles that she doesn't know how to use a "real gun" while she calls him a sore loser. Eager to prove him wrong, our three ladies check out a 100m range and the SAR21, and even experience the thrill of live firing for themselves! |

Sue arranges to meet Madam Wong and Cindy at the park for an early morning jog. She and her husband have recently started running 2.4km three times a week because he wants to achieve a gold award in his IPPT. Now that he is away on a business trip, she needs her friends to run with her. Madam Wong and Cindy are less enthusiastic - "Why do soldiers have to run so much?!". The trio set off to find out more about the IPPT. |
