IN PICTURES: Total Defence Day
SAF-School Partnership Programme
It is not every day that you get to experience a soldier’s life. However, our student-athletes had the opportunity to explore what military life is like for half a day right here at Singapore Sports School. Through the SAF-School Partnership Programme, soldiers from the 15 C4I Battalion served up an exhibition in our Auditorium to curious student-athletes who had a taste of what the men in green have to offer.

We think he might have missed a spot.
The camo cream is not meant to enhance your jawline, but more to help you merge with your surroundings.
Controlling drones in real life beats any video simulation.
“Ok gentlemen, this is item number 12 in your field pack.” Among the items packed in the soldier’s field pack is a hydration bag.
Our female student-athletes get a feel of the weight of a field pack which a soldier must carry during his 24km route march.
