Just to expand upon this point. You will need to keep in mind that the aim of putting you through all of those conditions is to train you to function normally under any conditions.Originally posted by subudei:Prepare yourself for a lot of tekaning as well. Although it seems that Hendon Camp is a far 'kinder and gentler' place than it was before, no commando training is complete without harassment - expect frequent turn-outs, heavy punishments for even minor faults, getting yelled and screamed at 24/7, sleep deprivation, etc. There's a certain amount of paranoia that you will have to live with, particularly in BMT and Basic Commando Training, but as long as you adopt a positive and optimistic attitude, you'll be able to cope with the stress.
ged, u r right, it should be 35km for those of us to end at changi beach, but what we were told was that, officially it was 32km, where it ends at the camp. we did an "extra" 3km which ends us at changi beach. not sure if this is still practice today.Originally posted by Gedanken:lion, was that 32 or 35km at the end of BCT? We did 35, ending at Changi Beach, and damned if that wasn't the most beautiful sunrise I ever saw!
not sure the amount nowsaday, but as a guide-line, u get the same as other recruit in other unit. u will only get ur full commando pay after u receive your red beret, but they'll back pay u to the date when u get your cpl rank.Originally posted by TCP/IP:I received the commando letter with mixed feelings. Could anyone tell me what's the total allowance of a recruit? Also after u have attained the rank of cpl, what's the total allowance?
wah, extra 250Originally posted by duajia:recruits nowadaes are getting the basic recruit pay plus the 250 allowance already if i am not wrong. It started I think in 1999
no lah.. its 350 flat.Originally posted by duajia:recruits nowadaes are getting the basic recruit pay plus the 250 allowance already if i am not wrong. It started I think in 1999
