No lah the Cpt was on NDP while the rest was on diff occasion .confirm Trident badge lah..Thai wing and Trident alot of diff.pai say cause abit confusion.Originally posted by Kaczynski:I guess we're almost on the same line...just puzzled by his comment and the availability of the men there to be able to go for such courses...
Yah, regulars mostly I guess...A few JWOC candidates that I saw did have the trident on them...It's either that or what he saw was really the Thai wing, which is much more common...
Well, as for whether issit a "goodie" depends on the perspective...Good for career advancement, provided you're willing to tahan these months away from your family, which I would say is quite tough considering u already dun see them much...and of course, the physical..

Special Diving Unit? wat unit is that?Originally posted by chunyong:1) SOF can do wat NDU and CDO can do. But not vice versa.
2) NDU can do wat CDO can do but not vice versa
3) CDO can do all the overt ops and claim the 'trophy' but not SOF
Lastly...there is still the Special Diving Unit. -
it exists but their job nature only they know loh....heh.

SOF is a independent unit resides in Hendon camp, becos not all SOFs are from commando, some are from other units as well.
True not all SOF are from cdo but if you go for their training and trial and sign on and you pass them you get a red beret and are considered a commando and a SOF member.
Cdo and NDU are basically the same. Cdo does land stuff like raids, NDU do their water stuff like sea-mine clearing or underwater detonation.
SOF is a part of CDO elite that does all the special land stuff like anti-hijack and who knows what else.
NDU also has their own elite. I can't recall the name. SWG or something. They handle all the special and more dangerous stuff like anti-ship-hijack.
While NDU and Cdo are the elites, SOF and SWG (whatever ...) are the elites of the eiltes. -
Then they are under army, navy? where did you hear about this unit, any newpaper, article?Originally posted by chunyong:it exists but their job nature only they know loh....heh.
