BMT Briefing and equipment fitting (females only)

12th June: Reported in the morning at CMPB and it was a comforting feeling seeing there were so many other females too on this unconventional journey. I didn't feel so alone anymore. There were approximately 40-50 females across the 3 service (Army, Navy and Air Force)  but most were from Army. A chartered bus came to take us to Army Logistic Base for equipment fitting. Phones were locked up so no pictures of what happened. We took about 2 hours to try the different gears and finalise the sizes before we headed back to CMPB.

Had lunch at CMPB and then went for the BMT briefing. They handed to us the enlistment letters and also the list items to pack. There was a short talk conducted by a guy and I must say it was rather amusing session cause he seemed pretty stunned at the questions we asked him.
