now what Rank ? Stuck Sarjernt or Super Stuck Sarjernt ? ha...or Cobbler ?Originally posted by koxinga:ic. me, it comes from my dealings with them as part of work. -
Procurement. I get to play with some the toys.
They can be a really bitch to work with and it breaks my heart when they trash the equipment. -
Oh yes, STAR officers are reasonable well paid above your average PO. Their hardship allowance is alot. Can't remember, i think $500. Puts them right into the CAD and SecCom range.
Join the Police Force, be a Force for the Nation!

I always have the impression SWAT people still can point their MP5 at you and negotiate, like in the SWAT game. However, if SOF point their MP5, then you 101% mati liao.
Haiz ... if STAR selection so siong, might as well join SOF. Haha ... the SOF guys have a bigger and more equipped armoury.
i think we are playing too much of these kind of game, coz i thought the negotiating is done by the negotiator and not the SWAT poeple. By the way when a SOF point their weapon at the baddies i don't think u will mati coz who the hell will kill anyone. and they are the elite and pros.
armoury big or small it doesn't matter is the quality of the that count. -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Originally posted by eurofighter:I think a STAR member died in the line of duty. I cannot remember clearly but many years back, I watched a crime watch episode. There was this drug addict who stabbed a police officer, snatched his revolver and ran off. The officer was seriously wounded. The police activated STAR and they began hunting for this armed and dangerous man. There was a shootout in a forest and one STAR member was shot dead. His team members then finished him off. Anyone remember this incident?
If i remembered correctly, what u have mention is two different incidents. NO STAR poeple got killed. I think the 2 incidents 1 of the baddie was arrested and 1 killed himself with a police revovler -
i visited their web and was really impress by their acheivements. They really have done a good job. I think the police force must be very proud to have them around and of course not forgetting the entire force they too have done pretty well themselve for keeping s'pore one the safest nation. GOOD JOB TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN in the police.

nowadays, appearance very important. whats really inside isn't important.....what you see is only the surface and is only a small fraction of whats SPF is really abt.Originally posted by xiao wei *:i visited their web and was really impress by their acheivements.

So how is it like to b in the force? anyway are u from the force? -
i WAS from the force. without violating OSA, life as a 'normal' policeman is tough, long and irregular working hours, shift work is another thing. jobscope is also bao-ka-liao as you can see from newspaper, your neighbourhood etc etc. and we are a big family....Originally posted by xiao wei *:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you have served the force during yr NS.no wonder you seems to know so much about star. seems that you dun really like them o the force from the way you wrote.Originally posted by chunyong:i WAS from the force. without violating OSA, life as a 'normal' policeman is tough, long and irregular working hours, shift work is another thing. jobscope is also bao-ka-liao as you can see from newspaper, your neighbourhood etc etc. and we are a big family....
if you have served the army, then i think you will not complained so much.
do the star pple have the same role as the swat in US?*-* -
I am neutral about them serious....abt females joining STAR....don't lah....due to the following reasons
1) OC/CS spoils ur newly rebonded hair
2) You won't fit the body armour well also...
3) Wait your pretty face gets 'damaged' how ?
why don't you join Security Command ? haha... -
Errr ... why won't fit into body armor well? Issit 'cos of their small build?
I think can la ... HK got the what ba4 wang2 hua1 right? Haha .. counterpart to the SDU -
ok. but seriously if they needed female i would like to join them. it will b cool to go hunting down the baddies.Originally posted by chunyong:I am neutral about them serious....abt females joining STAR....don't lah....due to the following reasons

as for the gear no worry cos they have body armour for nice lady like me( show a few in the net). for the hair? STAR pay good to the officers right., so that solve the problem.Originally posted by chunyong:I am neutral about them serious....abt females joining STAR....don't lah....due to the following reasons

i know got BA for female officers....but then...assault-vest comes integrated with BA...uniformity you see...ha. anyway, if u wanna try to join them, wish you all the best. train your running well.
-
Haha .. so what if the assault-vest is integrated with BA?
Xiao Wei: "Follow me ... you take the point!"
STAR Officer: "YES Madam!" -
that is provided if she can pass the selection. no offence taken yuh =). anyway to the bro who says that STAR selection so siong might as well join S O F instead, I can assure you that the selection there is as tough if not tougher.
STAR being a law enforcing unit doesn't shoot to kill..they must always ensure the safety of human lives. SOF has a totally directive in this sense cause it is a military unit. Well, conditions do apply.. -
aiyah, get 6 sure-cannot-make-it guys to join the selection with u, then u sure get selected cos ratio is 1 outta 7 mah...by rule of possibility and ruling out that the 6 is better than you
not so sure abt SOF lah -
It was never by ratio...they wouldn't risk selecting you if you are not qualified enough. Cause that will endanger your whole team when you go for real ops.
-
wah lau, of cos i'm joking in my post lah...u have no sense of humour. plus who would choose people by ratio...if choose by ratio its not selection liao. anyway, the cut-off is abt 6/7 loh....SOF maybe 9/10 ? who knowsOriginally posted by duajia:It was never by ratio...they wouldn't risk selecting you if you are not qualified enough.
