Definitions

1. 1

   A pop-up food van that appears during field training to sell food and drinks to soldiers.

   • When you are in the middle of a godforsaken exercise area, dying of heat and sick of combat rations, the Ninja Van with its supply of cold canned drinks, junk food, and beehoon is like seeing an oasis.
   • The arrival of the ninja van, with its fried bee hoon, nasi lemak and soft drinks, was perhaps the best consolation in an otherwise boring range where sections of trainees sat on long wooden benches waiting for their turns.
   • Not sure if your unit/exercise involves you being in the mountains, but if it does, there are these food vans that we called "ninja vans", because they turn up out of nowhere; you don't find them, they find you.
