As a Singaporean guy who's been to the army, I took a deep breath immediately when I saw Ollie applying camo cream on his face because I know that's not coming off without at least 3 rounds of washing, and if you really apply it properly usually when you wash it off you'd have a lining around your eyes that ironically look like eye liner.

The rations will taste at least a good 70% better when heated btw. And there are a variety of different menu (12 or 16 when I was in service) and some of the menu were significantly worse! I would guess they didn't send you the horrid ones.

It also seems that the ration pack you received was missing the additional snack packet which includes the beverages(or powdered form of those), biscuits and crackers, as well as the Maggi Mee packet(which is easily the best thing to eat outfield, either dry a la ppusho ppusho(뿌셔뿌셔), or cooked as soup noodles).

"These are Javanese Noodles"
"WHOSE KNEES"
I'M DJAJXHKSYSHS LMAOOO

[alicesia]

Wow I got sad when Ollie disappeared in the beginning but Josh really pulled through by himself 🤧 should really be careful though those bushes kept moving 😳

[Vaderish]

Missed Ollie so much in this video that I even heard him talking, hope he's okay. Feels weird to just see Josh.

[sthumain]

where my fellow singaporeans at??? 🇸🇬
*can confirm, heating up rations on sunbaked sg concrete works a charm*

[walaoeh_]

Context for Non-Singaporean: All Singaporean man are required to serve 2 years in National Service (aka Enlist) which explains the abundance of Singaporean commenting about their / their love ones experience in army

[spetsnaz]

Ollie's outfit looks like someone who camps in cod

[BennedicktusPeter]

I'm a Javanese myself, when Ollie said "whose knees" I get that a lot

[GriffonWizard]

"These are Javanese noodles"
"WHO'S KNEES"
*IM WHEEZING*

[jasinthecity]

I love how jolly always uploads Singapore-related videos around our National Day <:

As a Singaporean male who's had his share of combat rations, I can attest that almost no one likes the combat ration mains. A 24 hour worth of combat ration consists of 2 mains, 1 dessert and an assorted pack. The assorted pack includes instant coffee, instant tea, instant Milo, instant electrolyte drinks, tissues, solid fuel, matches, some candy, 1 pack of instant noodle and most importantly 4 packets of hard tack biscuits. I would've gladly survived days eating 1 pack of hardtack biscuit per meal and not touch any of the mains. The instant noodles were easily anyone's favorite, provided if we were allowed to cook but my ex unit never ever allowed cooking so we used to just eat the noodles raw. There were also some "tricks" we did on some of the assorted pack stuff to spice things up a little. Adding water to the hardtack biscuits made them spongy "cakes". If we added instant lemon tea drinks to them, they became "lemon cakes" etc etc.

The fact that Ollie thought nata de coco was lychee chunks 😂😂😂 So adorable.

[barbados]

Ollie looks like Endgame Hulk but instead of a Giant Muscular Bruce Banner He's Green Average-Sized Human Ollie

Josh: "A quick and fast way to get your coffee fix when you're on sentry duty at 3am"

Me: A Singaporean NSF watching this video before sentry duty at 3am 😮

[selisolstice]

no one:
ollie: turning himself into shrek in the first few minutes.

[uhhyousee]

Me: *takes bite of lunch*
Ollie: "it's like nutty poo*
Thanks man

[yunlingseah]

the note forgotten to add that when they're outfield, they warm it up by storing it between the soldiers back and backpack. btw, green bean doesnt equals to green pea (beans), it's a direct translation from Chinese which actually meant mung beans
:)

[seminbaik]

Ollie couldn’t be more dedicated to his episodes. He always get into every concept he films

[kkaitlynnn]

Why did Ollie leave at the beginning?? Josh got so lonely that he started talking to a tree 😔

[Emerald-kun]

Ollie disappeared halfway through the video and I can't seem to find him anywhere
