I heard that "OCS" use to take 12 mths... but with LHL it was reduced to 9 mths.Originally posted by claudetnt:Atobe:
you forgot to mentioned that LHL was so privileged that the complete course at Safti had to been revamped in fact he was on an express condensed course that made a mockery of the whole system. After his passing out from saftri the course was reverted again so that others will not have the same benefits.
But after that they didn't change it already. -

Not quite right!
Basic training at that time used to be 3 months.
Nco (non-commision officer) course another 4 months.
OCT (officer cadet training) course 6 months.
For LHL it was specially "designed" - from basic training to OCT all in 9 months or maybe less for him. After he "passed out" it was back to 13 months for all the other lossers! -
For all losers:

Originally posted by Salman:That proves it. I think bias and injustice has been done on PM Lee Hsien Loong and his family.
Perhaps that is the price they have to pay for serving the country faithfully.
I propose a national inquiry into this incident! We will form a bipartisan committee for this with the powers to subpoena as well as impeach anybody. We need to get to the root of this.
typical brown noser...

Maybe one of them is just telling you are not alone by using such labels as
''idiots"
How about someone say:
Not everyone come here to follow your stupid logic

a little OT here:Originally posted by Atobe:It is even more surprising that his military experience was so uneventful - except for the botched cable car rescue - that not much was ever spoken in all his speeches.
how did the cable car rescue operation when bad ?
I recalled all suvivors where rescued, much thx to the UH1 crews and excellent piloting skill. -

If it was a war situation, in NINE HOURS many battles would have been fought and decidely a foregone conclusion.
During the entire agonising NINE HOURS, at least six bubble cars were hanging precariously on the cable car, with one car having one of its wheels being dislocated from the cable.
Brilliant ideas were played with - the first to be dismissed was the use of a fire engine with a long reach "cherry picker" basket floated on a barge beneath the bubble cars, to pick-off the trapped passengers.
Unfortunately, the reach feel short. Idea dismissed.
Another brilliant idea was for the commandos to slide down the cable, secure the bubble cars to the cable, and rappel the passengers down to safety onto waiting barges.
Somehow it did not occur to those "in charge" that overseas experience with similar cable car accidents had always resorted to the use of the helicopter.
When " someone " finally decided that this helicopter scheme was the "ONLY BEST SOLUTION" - " someone " decided to adopt the Israeli penchant for 'dry-runs' to test the idea, and it went on for several hours before the plan was executed NINE HOURS after the accident was reported.
The Operation was reported to be headed by the Second Permanent Secretary (Defense) - a Mr Philip Yeo, and yet surprisingly the publicity and glory went to a Colonel LHL, who was the Chief of Staff (General Staff).
This was a purely civil matter, and had nothing to do with the military, why was the operation headed by a "Chief of Staff - (General Staff) " ?
What if the operation had gone wrong ?
Was there a 'Fall Guy' already assigned to take the wrap ?
One year later, a reporter from an European Newspaper Agency was assigned to write a report praising the efforts that led to the successful outcome of the entire rescue operation - remarkably stating for the local press that the operation was comparable to any operation in Europe.

I agree with Atobe on this one. Glory was deliberately passed to LHL after 9 hours. It was deliberate and in me opinion disgusting.
But put it in perspective. That was a long time ago. No need to dig it up and judge a person or administration. -
Then, LHL must have sleeping all the while when he was BG.Originally posted by dragg:do you really believe this?
the PM was a General. doesnt he know the rules?
Election coming mah...some balls carriers must do some work wah..... -

If as Chief of Staf - (General Staff) he had "his hands held" by a PS2 (Defense) - is this the reason that he needs two more pair of hands (MM and SM) to help him in his post of PM ?
Will these two - (or someothers more junior) - be convenient 'FALL GUYS' for him - if things were to go wrong ?
It is from one's track record that we judge a person's ability to respond in the 'heat of fire' - and this was the operating principle from his father.
It took him NINE HOURS to bring the first trapped passengers down from the disabled Bubble Car.
How many hours or days will it take before he can respond to any crisis ? -
