Many BB members dislike drill most , among all the weekly BB activities.

However, drill can actually be fun without compromising discipline. If someone in the drill team makes a mistake, we do not laugh at him. We laugh with him. When we encounter a complicated drill command, we learn to brainstorm our way through, covering up for each and everyone of our team members too! Remember the purposes of learning drill.

In fact, it was DRILL that gave the founder inspiration to found BB. Sir Smith was thinking how he could use DRILL to control grown up men but couldn't do anything to control the boys in sunday school. Therefore, he got the idea to found BB. So, remember, DRILL is an important part in every BB boy's life.

To all the new privates, hope you all can learn to find fun during drill. Not the "free and easy" kind of fun, but the "fun of working in a team" . Sweat together, Enjoy together.

P.S. This post is dedicated to Pte. Yap Joon Yew, Pte. Dhanvi Lakshman, Pte. Wong Weng Soon, Pte. Lee Yan Gen, Pte. Yuen Kah Jun, Pte. Sean Au, Pte. Law Wei Ken , Pte. Viknesh K. and last but not least, Pte. Chow Chun Yang.

The History of B-3

What does history mean? History means incidents that happened a long time ago. Every single thing that happens today had its own history and it happened to the B-3 too. So let's seek the history of the B-3.

Actually, the B-3 started in 1987 and it was called "The Sextant" before it changed to B-3.

The first issue was very simple and it was done by Mr. Lawrence Tay Hoon Sian. After that, he began to seek the boys to help him.

The purpose of starting the B-3 is to give current news to the boys. It also tells the boys about the incidents that has occured and plans for the future.

Later, the B-3 was distributed to the other companies so that they will also know what had happened in 3rd KL Company and the company's future aims.

The B-3 was missing in action until recently revived by W/O Voon. Complete with new look and new logo, the B-3 is set to reach out again!

By the way, in the olden days, the B-3 motto was : "There for the Story, Victory and History"
