hi everyone...
im new here..
just receive my posting today, posted to TRADOC as a rifleman at Pasir Laba camp...
anyone has any idea wats TRADOC is?
-
TRADOC is the place where they sit down and think all day on how to fight a war. Also the location of the SAF printing center.
Good luck.
-

alamak.. -

-

Don't worry, you wont be doing any brainy stuff.Originally posted by Timberland:

Most probably guard/regimental duties.
Unless you want to be clever, and go and read up on military matters (A LOT) and submit a paper to either
1) CO
2) Tradoc
3) Future Systems Directorate (MINDEF)
Then you might become one of those who sit down and think all day on how to fight a war. And in the process get a CAT 1 security clearance. -
HAHA...
if its the ATEC aggressor company... then its the super "sai kang" company...
its fun lah... u get to deploy all over, sometimes go overseas to "evaluate" SAF battallions...
be prepared to go out field every other week, for about 3-5 days at a stretch when peak training period kicks it...
its not siong, just tedious after awhile...
average aggr platoon stores for each exercise? 100 rolls of con-wire, 5 rolls of barbs, 70 long iron pickets, 20-30 short pickets, etc, etc... and guess who gets to set it up and clear it for every exercise? the Rifleman lah! who else...
u'll also go out there with the full MILES set, rifle, torso and helmet
u'll grow to love the weight... its so cool... normal SAF units wear it twice in their NS term... u'll wear it every other week... -
Yup, should be aggressor company la ... be grateful lor .. it's the most relaxed kind of rifleman vocation liao ...
Oh ya ... the cookhouse food there is the best I've tasted ... not surprising since many big shots there =) -
wow...
thanks guys..
im just dread of going there..
i live at tampines and that camp is located at somewhere boonlay...
sigh -

u mean other rifleman have to do even more tedious stuffs?! -
TRADOC is at pasir laba camp. The cookhouse is superb because alot of big shots there. Aggressor battalion insignia is the 'shark'.
actually, my battalion was super siao on, we had our MILES set for every overseas exercise. Even some local exercise also bring. the MILES also cock up... not very functional. anyway, go aggressor coy can always go overseas lah. but their RNR is shorter. hehehe -

My other riflemen refer to those in operational units, the SIRs.Originally posted by Timberland:u mean other rifleman have to do even more tedious stuffs?!
You just compare, in aggressor they give you off days for every outfield you go (tink 2 day outfield 1 off day liddat) ... in the SIR where got so good? In SIR, they play bastard, you go for *support* exercise they also dun give off day. Somemore aggressor not ops unit, so never do standby one (I tink), and their reservist I tink not so siong also.
In Pasir Labar, since they have RP, aggressor people only bao the weekend guard duty. In unit the riflemen bao every night guard duty, and weekend guard duty. -
MILES - Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement SystemOriginally posted by Timberland:What's MILES and RNR?
It refers to the harness you wear on top of the SBO, and another one that wraps around your helmet. For your weapon, you fix a box on top of the barrel. BMT should have a demo session on that, at least they show you how they zero the MILES? No?
RNR - Rest and Relax. Refers to the "holiday" after every field exercise, before you take the flight home.
I think aggressor go Wallaby and Starlight until sianz liao ... haha -
Shorter but higher frequency, I think. Aggressors have the tendency to stay for > 1 month in Wallaby (I think), since many units taking ATEC there. So they RNR until siao .. hahaOriginally posted by 12qwaszx:go aggressor coy can always go overseas lah. but their RNR is shorter. hehehe -
The journey from Tampines to Boon Lay is around 52 minutes. There's only 1 bus to outside the camp (still have to walk 10 minutes inside).Originally posted by Timberland:im just dread of going there..

Relax la ... if you really tiok aggressor, it is unlike normal riflemen .. quite fun one laOriginally posted by Timberland:i wonder why i got into rifleman...
Wallaby and Starlight are codenames for two oversea exercise locations. The first one is telltale. The second one can be guessed quite easily, if I tell you many army units have their ATEC there.
They're codenames, so not appropriate to reveal here .. heehee -
thanks alot dude...Originally posted by Icemoon:Relax la ... if you really tiok aggressor, it is unlike normal riflemen .. quite fun one la
