Army Open House '09

The tv are talking about it. The radio are booming about it and the newspaper are advertising about it. It's the annual SAF open house at Pasir Laba Camp.

Apparently, this year's crowd were seemingly lesser than previous years. Don't know why. Probably, its the same thing?

Anyway, we had great fun. Not only, it's free bt to know what we are expecting when we enrol is a good thing as well.

What goes next will be the images of the equipments shot and I will try to find out about the specs of the equipment to give u guys a more rounded view of each equipment capabilites.

The long range machine gun

And these are the bullets fired from the machine gun. Imagine it fire upon a hdb block. I guess the residents have to reside to another crib.

I have no idea what this is. Probably a support vehicle.

I'm guessing that this syringe like objects are surface to air bullets? To shoot down enemy aircraft.
