Yeah I brought my guitar to BMT, SISPEC and my other courses, just watch out that you may kena arrowed for song leading during route marches or runs.
They can take you out of the music, but they can't take the music out of you!

Haha shit.. interesting stuff.. That means u guys just had to ask permission to bring guitar to tekong???
Cos I thought maybe asking your officer only when you're posted your vocation would be a better idea.
Then are you like the only guys bringing a guitar to book in? Cool stuff man haha.

if you have plenty of spare time, and after asking your sgts permissions, you can bring in your guitar to play
just be more careful if you bring in anything worth vandalising or stealing
abt having playing more guitar during your 2 year stint?
i suffered my first case of GAS during my 2nd year in NS (of cos you might not classify that as 'playing'
)
btw
ORD LOH

yeah can bring guitars if you are in unit, just acoustic or classical not electrics cos not really allowed to use saf electricity. good way to pass time and entertain your buddies during rest time. as for bmt, if you bring it up that you can play guitar early there's a chance you can go to saf band or music and drama company which means everyday book out no need to chiong mountains/forests no guard duty etc.
of course with music background it's almost certain in bmt you'll be made song ic but that's nothing hard/bad

You don't need permission to bring a guitar in. No one would complain or confiscate. But i'm quite sure you might have problems storing it though, especially during area cleaning and stand by _____ (fill in the blank).
On another note, you don't need permission to bring anything in. Just don't get caught. But it is chargeable offence to bring in media storage devices.

i brought my acoustic guitar to camp when i was in the army and when i first got into my new unit.. and when i was clearing leave i lost it... coz the guitar was passed around from bunk to bunk and thru my whole coy.. well at least its not an expensive guitar and theres like 5 guitars in one company and every night before we sleep.. we'll play a tune and sang ourself to bed... and not letting ur officers know u havent sleep when its time for lights off hehe
