Would like to share a story that I experienced personally during my army days. This was 1991.
After BMT, I was posted to School of Signals at Stagmont Camp for 7 weeks of Basic Signaler Course. Camp was an eye-opener as it was like a holiday camp compared to the crummy SBMT (well, I have another one on that) where I came from.
OK, as signalers, we have to go through radio and line course. Line means that we use field telephones instead of mobile radio sets. The most difficult part is to “lay the line” as we call it – basically run from point A to B and connect 2 telephones while making sure we give enough slack for maintenance. In Line training, there is this exercise to lay it in built-up areas, which is basically a building.
Off we went on a short ride to this abandoned govt blocks in Chua Chu Kang. It was an afternoon. We were split into 12 teams and 2 teams are tasked to lay line all the way to the 6th floor of each abandoned building by entering from the two staircase entrances located at each side of the building. To my best recollection, there were 6 blocks, 5 together and an isolated one about 50 meters away down a slope. My team together with another were bloody unfortunate to be tasked to lay Block 6 – yup, the isolated one. Was not so much about goblins and ghosts then but for the fact that each team is timed on their mission and the last team has to do push ups on the hot ground full of sands and stones – a real bummer. We had to work faster.
I was detachment-in-charge and my responsibility was to run as fast as I can to the block, run up the stairs to the 6th floor, cist the cable and connect it to the phone, check communications and run back to report with my mates. The other 2 of my mates have the responsibility of covering up the line and allow enough slack. As I ran like hell up the stairs, something made me look back at the corner on the 4th floor. I saw nothing. When I reached the 6th floor and started working with my pliers, I heard a female voice talking in the empty rooms. Pressed for time, I was not thinking much about it. But as I was finishing my job, the talking which I could not make out what was said as they were kind of mumblings, grew louder and it sounded like that female was losing an argument (you know how they are). Next thing I heard was a loud bang, exactly like slamming of a door. What made me froze for 3 seconds was that several other doors also slammed shut one after another.
At that point, I have finished my job, and ran downstairs by jumping each staircase from the 2nd or 3rd step. I didn’t say anything because not being the last detachment to report back took utmost priority for me. When the exercise was almost done, we needed to collect back the field telephone and cables. I kind of suggested to my mates that we should share the work and one of them should go up and claim these items. (Yup, I’m that kind of dude then).
We went back to camp, returned the stores and waited for dinner. I still didn’t tell anyone. In the bunk, I was sitting on the floor opposite this guy from the team that was laying the line at the other end of block 6. Thinking back, they had a rawer deal as their staircase entrance was facing the woods while mine was facing the command centre. Anyway, this guy look real pale and green. Then I sprang my questions. “Did you lay block 6?”, “Did you hear any woman’s voice?” The guy looked at me and was totally shocked out of his pants! He couldn’t speak for at least 1 min and then told me his story.
When we were collecting back the equipment, this dude was unsure if his detachment ic was upstairs doing it, so he ventured upstairs to look for him. While he was at halfway between the 5th and 6th floor staircase, he called out the ic’s name and got a female voice replying “Wo zai ze li” (I am here). Straightaway he dashed back downstairs. We tried to analyze and rationalize it because it was broad daylight (sunny and hot) and we had a female instructor present during the exercise. But all the time she was at the command post. Could it be a human hiding in the rooms? Finally, we approached our female sergeant (instructor) and told her our experience. She confirmed that she was at the command post all the time and the blocks are vacant. Later that evening, she revealed that we were not the only ones that “complained” about it. Apparently, previous platoons also encountered unexplained things there. After this event, the place was not used for any future line training exercises.
The story did not end…
1992 – I was in a unit and involved in this big division exercise just before my ROD. My unit was in Tekong and I had ultra sinang duties. With nothing to do at night, I sat around a bunch of store man and drivers listening to ghost stories. There was this driver that said that during his teenage days, they like to peep at lovers making out at night. One of the hotspots then was a bunch of abandoned govt blocks in Chua Chu Kang. But there was one incident whereby this girl was ditched by the boyfriends and she hung herself in one of the rooms. I couldn’t believe what I have heard!
Immediately, I asked him to describe the place…it was the same BLOCK 6!!!

Were is the metro store located. You know like in the other phones is the @ and its called mobile shop….. I cant find it..

Heavy Metal Fonts

that means, anybodies pinpoint exact location on planet earth – by a series of zoom- zooom – zoom – ZOOM in’s ?
Isn’t the technology used on mobile phone handsets/cell phones similar or related to that technology ? whats it called, Global Positioning Radio Service GPRS ?
or is GPRS one of many number of ways our werabouts are detected on earth , by ensuring evey citizen on the planet carries a mobile phone lol ?
but im interested to know that, whilst I don’t do a ‘bin laden’ (that is, detach myself from the technology entirely…no phones esp) and live under a network of underground caves etc) surely the US has the capabality to locate and find my dumb a55 in under a couple of minutes, using their satellites and what not ?
I could be window shopping in Paris and going to a gents toilet in a public park – and they’d be able to zoom in on me. Or I could be reading a paper in a little cafe in Palma spain, and they’d be able to zoom in on the ACTUAL PAGE and read what IM READING ?
bloody scary wouldn’t you agree ?

Is it advisable to block the phone, instrumentI mean. Then the thief will not be able to use it. Can the instrument be traced?

My family is thinking about switching phone companies cause t-mobile service sucks and doesn’t work were my sister is located. And this is strictly for cell phones. Everything else is on a verizon plan. We need a plan that will work for a family of four. and yes i have to admit we do talk and text a lot so something unlimited talk and texting would help a lot.

When looking at how mobile phones used to be not but 5 years ago or even further than that, there wasn’t much to them. You can call in, out, and save numbers. Pretty much that was it. But now they can access the internet, locate people by gps, check email, play music, play television, and even run a business. Have the gone too far to over accessorize than being just useful? Would you go back?

Verizon has this type of service called Chaperon….design to locate another user ex. your child…..it will tell the exact location where your child is at, of course, you two must be in the same plan (family plan). I would like to know if At&t (Iphone) has this as well or anything other phone company such as T-mobile….does anyone know?

I am trying to get an touch with an old friend but the only sites I can find require the person to have a landline phone number. Everyone I know is mobile and nobody has landlines anymore. Is there another way to track someone down?

as long as you know the whereabouts, you can call 411 and give them the number and as long as its not restricted, they can give you the address. I have done it before…
