Well...whats new?Things happen already say investigate...MC also ask u carry on.What to do? I already mentioned this sometime back here: http://sgforums.com/forums/1390/topics/331037 No point crying over spilt milk...I'm not asking SAF to cut training and be slack with NS. I'm saying is yes...train us. Be realistic but keep a look out between realism and tekan/torture.But as always...instructors like to compare..."During my time...blah blah!" so yeah...mebbe his instructors can go and tell his parents the same line.

Hmmm...how should I put it. Been faced with this situation .

Well...I don't know lah.Am still kicking myself hard for not putting in more effort for IPPT. Haiz...my platoon mate damn lucky, kena police OCS. BASTARD! My ADA fren is in already as he's a JC kia. Also he was consoling me by saying that its a good sign that we're in ADA, it means we know how to study and can handle heavy responsibilty. A missile can take down an airliner filled with hundreds of people,unlike an Infantry man...can only be trusted with rifle,grenades.Oh well...that made me luff a little, but i'm still feeling shitty.

I also fucked what...aiming for OCS...now end up where?AFS to serve as Air Defense Operator man...wtf...haiz.The higher you aim, the higher you fall.Simple as that.

heyo!

nice to meet you.
ya...really hope there are more of us...
i heard the 1st week is orientation...we get to stay out...meaning sleep at home.
but 2nd and 3rd week....not too sure...probably get posted to a unit already and each unit operate different Defensive Weapons.

each unit ....in terms of xiongness....also depends on what type of DEF WPN.

i gathered that there will be no road marches and SOC
but there will be lots of PT and outfield.
and also gathered on that...we still need to train pull-ups.
and it still 3 months of training btw

hiaz....

YEah...thats what I heard from my buddy that's in there as well.Sian...so disappointed that I'm not even in SISPEC. Look on the bright side...other then the Navy and our pilots...we're the tip of the spear.The active people that will be awake so that others can sleep soundly. in your EI did you put yes to command school or no? I believe I'm there as I fail my IPPT by 1 pullup.

Fucked up! U're AI...Armoured Infantry.

Heyz...same posting as me.Very disappointed as I was hoping for OCS.Well...higher you aim, higher you fall from. Guess we're both headed to be Air Defense Operators aka ADA operators. Gonna learn how to shoot aircrafts down from the sky.Probably we can PM, den at least get to know someone and not so lonely.

Cheers

your friend from what coy

i going to enlist alr leh

Oh really?Good luck mate...I just left that island. Hmmm...frankly being in BMT the thing more jialat then SOL is confinement.You're on that island...you see all your friends book out.The feeling...is darn sian i tell u.I kena it once...the feeling is enough to make u more alert to whats going on around u. Ps. don't be like someone I know...kena 7xconfinement + 1 wkend guard duty.Tt's shitty totally.

Am curious to find out...is it legal for instructors to confine trainees who report sick during the course of training for things like flu, fever,cough etc.?As I was told by my friend that his coy practices that...is such a thing allowed?I mean if they've got such a system, then whats the point of asking people if they wish to report sick and all that?Its like, they just follow SOP, but if you sound out with a problem, your weekend will be spent in camp, confined.

Personally, doubt the US Army will go for SAR21. Probably the US Police SWAT teams etc will, but SF community and general grunt issue...probably not. Its due to the bullpup nature of the SAR21. Contenders are probably the HK G36c/k, HK 416 and FN SCAR.

Subcompact weapon...I don't see whats wrong with the current MP5K,MP7 or FN P90.Especially so for the MP7 and P90 which are relatively new on the scene.

Not true leh...sometimes is the recruit is 1x ccb chiu cheng hand one, or 1x ccb blur cock. My PC was damn stressed when this cockster in my platoon during grenade throw keep changing the grenade from one hand to the other den back to the other hand. He attempted to continue doing so even after he's pulled the pin out. So yeah...tt's one blur cock for u.

the grenade we throw i'm certain gt ball bearings.y?cuz i heard them landing like gravel hitting the tin roof of the waiting area.

NINJA Change OC so what siah...honestly as a recruit every day you see other recruits in other COYs, you will wonder why of all people, you should be in Ninja. But as time passes and you are closer to POP, you realise that its a love-hate relationship you have with the instructors there. And if given a chance to choose which COY you were to be in from day 1, all gave the same answer, Ninja COY. Simply because you learn more den the others the inside joke for 03/08 batch is that we have PRIDE (People Rest, I Do Extra) at least you learn more and walk away with your head high.

Ninja Coy gg change OC. No longer CPT. Tan Chong Yeow, Jeffery. Am the last batch of "Infan-do" as what recruits from other coys call us, part-infantry, part-commando. New OC is previously from OCS, a Guardsman, LTA Haniff.Anyway, with the present OC, its a love-hate relationship lah.Most will agree.

Cheers

Ninja OC CPT.Jeffrey Tan is one crazy SOB lah...not to sure about the demotion due to torturing of recruit or whatever,but what I do know is that he's most prob.condemned cuz he's a commando w/o ranger tab.If i'm not mistaken, CDO regulars that ain't rangers are condemned and looked down upon.During fieldcamp...quite terok lah...but truly...Ninja recruits,got PRIDE...People Rest,I Do Extra.

WTF...which coy u in? I more worried about being fucked by my commanders and not performing well den insects. Worse...i scared of the blur cocks in my platoon...sure HONG KAN one.Next Wed grenade throw...I sure hope my commanders gt enuff insurance for putting their lives at stake for those few cocksters.

Yep...actually its being as a recruit that I got to see many erm..."silly" things that SAF practices. Every small thing also needa have a "ceremony/drill" before it can be carried out. Damn bo liao...

del_co, which platoon are u in?Come find me leh

BMTC also changing to SAR21,my 2wks with Ninja, I managed to draw M16 once, and that was to get familiar with the drawing out and sending of arms procedure.

Ninja Company...argh! when u report sick, ppl will respect u.at medical centre,ppl hear u frm Ninja,u automatically become surrounded.

I'm not sure if I'm experiencing the "pre-enlistment syndrome" ,I can't seem to get any sleep.Been tossing and turning all night.
