FOD Walk

May 11, 2010May 22, 2016  |  Miscellaneous  |  It’s almost 20 years since I first stepped into Tengah Air Base. In all that time (well, mostly just the two years of active NSF service), I’ve been to all over the air base, either on wheels or on my two feet. But ...

New Bus Stop Sign Posts

May 3, 2010May 5, 2014  |  Miscellaneous  |  A few weeks ago, I happened to see a work crew making their rounds installing a bunch of new bus stop sign posts. You’ve probably seen many of these already at various bus stops around the island.  I was just wondering ...
