Recruits are expected to bring the following items: a pair of dark blue or black shorts with an elastic waistband, knee-length, no zippers, and a single back pocket, a green or blue tracksuit, a green t-shirt and green or blue sports shoes, two blue bedsheets and long black socks, warm clothing for those assigned to cold regions, academic documents and birth certificate, O-level and A-level certificates and bus fare for the journey to and from the assigned camp.
