Misc Tips
1. On the day that your equipment is issued, try them out and see if they fit so that it can be changed immediately
2. Get personal Particulars of your parents, and one other friend. IC, HP, Add
3. Make sure you have 2 dollar note ready for your hair cut (a bit vague on this point)
4. The black perm marker is to write your name on your stuff, to prevent them from being stolen. Write them on every equipment, i even wrote my name on my underwear in scouts haha.

Silly Tips
1. To be the most popular in camp, bring your playboy collection along, you'll be instantly famous! Although you can forget about getting them back, or risk getting pages stuck together.
2. If you really think you're a wuss and cannot take the training, sign the 302 form.... don't call me anymore...
3. Light up your shoe kiwi and get high
4. Read what is written here
5. Follow what is actually written

well that's it for now, hope it has been helpful in one way or another.
