LAMO!! I'm only 56...

I served from 1971 to 1991.. And to be honest. I don't remember how we folded our underwear and socks back in boot camp. So far your gear looks squared away!

U could actually bring a camera into camp and shoot photos? Back in my national service days in Singapore, we could not do it at all... and in recent years, I heard from my younger brother who is serving his National Service duties, he said that he couldn't even bring a camera phone into camp.

well your army is weird then, maybe you should tell DoD to change the rules.

besides, this is not basic training, i am pretty sure singaporean army would allow cameras in advanced training sessions.

Yup, it used to be strict in Norway too, but now everybody posts stuff on facebook etc.. Video from exercise etc..

Hi, I just finished my National Service in Singapore. During my 2 years in the army, they would always remind us not to bring any camera or camera phone into camp. I know some guys who were charged for doing that. Their stand is that with such pics online, terrorists could use it for intel to do damage.

Anyway, I was an instructor in basic military camp.

Well... sometime I really wonder... what infor can terrorists get from a few photo. Maybe they could set restricted area, whereby no one can take any photos and other area might be open up.

Actually, I doubt it very much. I was in a logistic camp once (a few years ago) when they recall us back for a day, the guards are checking us to see if we have any camera phones in our possession.

Seriously I think we are overdoing things man.
