Army Open House@Our City:It is the first time the Army Open House is being held outside an army camp and in the city, at the F1 Pit Building. Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen launched it yesterday by firing an SAR 21 rifle at the opening ceremony. Visitors to the event can look forward to a showcase of Singapore's 3rd Generation Army, with urban warfare demonstrations, scenario-based shows by the Red Lions, SAF Band, Music & Drama Company and the Military Police, and the latest equipment on display. There is also an NS Showcase to mark the 45th anniversary of National Service. The event is open to the public today as well. Photo courtesy MINDEF

Singapore Army Open House 2012 - First impressions
Note: I realise this post lacks images. My Canon PowerShot conked out and I'm going to get a replacement. May choose another brand this time. Many thanks to Jon who T-loaned his camera yesterday. : )
Strictly-speaking, a display of war machines and weapons outside a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) camp counts more as an exhibition rather than an open house.
With that context in mind, the Army Open House (AOH) 2012 which you can visit this Saturday and Sunday may give you the impression that it lacks the punch that previous editions of the AOH packed when the event was staged at the SAFTI Military Institute and SAFTI live-firing area in Pasir Laba.
Military enthusiasts would probably still troop down to the event anyway, so here's a suggestion of things you can see and do at the AOH.
New sniper rifles
Location: Pavilion Display at the Infantry booth
