and lots of khaki and red berets around with ranger tabs -
SISPEC is just the starting point, if u kena support,some will have the first year of NSF on course!

care to tell me more on sispec? it's such a dreaded feeling
-
its just another training school like everywhere else in the SAF...Originally posted by fallen interlude:care to tell me more on sispec? it's such a dreaded feeling
just keep an open mind and do your best.
its admittedly hard to think straight when u're tired, and shagged out and bleary eyed from lack of sleep, but u'll live...
just look forward to meal times... things that don't kill u makes u a better man... if it does kill u, it takes u to a better place... so what have u got to lose?

sispec nowadays better than before liao lah
heard nowadays sispec trainees can go nights off?!?! -
i loved the stories my friends tell me...
there was this warrant, did the route march with them without a rifle sling, so he held onto the... ehhhh... can't remember the name of that part, what's the plastic covering the barrel???
ok anyway he held the rifle that way through the route march, at the end he challenged them all to a sprint to the finish. He was pretty big size (fat like my friend said) so they expected to outrun an overweight uncle. Well, they all lost.
Then another story was about this other warrant who they thought he carried pillows in his field pack when doing route march, my ex unit colleague was something like his runner. So when they were taking a break, the one time the warrant put down his field pack, my friend went to try to pick it up and it was heavy (full pack eh?).
And on the same warrant, there was one point they were blocked by a high vertical rock, so the warrant told them to wait. Most of them thought "Like real, want to climb", he climbed up, full pack and all... tied a toggle rope for the men and asked the guys to follow. -
hmmm not sure, hahaha my friend on PS course never go on nights off lehOriginally posted by 12qwaszx:sispec nowadays better than before liao lah

sispec is where : -
- they train the you how to take shit from officers, and how to take crap from your men.
- they serve the worst food in SAF. IMO after visiting so many camps, sispec still takes that honour.
- you forget the original colour of your face. It's just ... green.
- it's the absolute worst place to be a private
- the TSR is just a book, and it's contents ignored.
- you really get to find out how many days you can go w/o sleep
Anyway, I heard they're planning to give all sispec graduate a bayonet or something. Something like the all OCS graduates get a sword. It's an attempt to "boost" the image of specialists. Any truth in this ? -
haha... yeah... got a lot of these crazy uncles in there...Originally posted by kopiosatu:i loved the stories my friends tell me...

actually kena one before... 24km route march at FAST march pace... refused to stop for break at 1/2 way point, just went there and u-turned the lobos manning the water point there also shocked man... and we were all close to dying
but this old guy was like a duracell bunny! just kept going! his runner actually blacked out when we reached the coy line... he was totally shagged out following that old man's pace...
and we were all blistered and aching all over from that experience... luckily next day was lessons only... if still must go out field i think all die man
but the worse i kena was one week when we had SOC, field training, life firing AND nutcracker... after nutcracker was SOC re-test needless to say, those who failed the first time got a WORSE timing the second time -
Imagine a sispec warrant officer who carries not one but two jelly cans filled to the brim with water during the whole road march.
I guess you know these uncles make amazing soldiers. -
ooooooh.. guess i'll be in for a freakin good time.
i hope im the bslc batch. so lesser suffering.....

For the best of the best that is....
But for all specs, not too sure on that. -
Eh..Originally posted by Nelstar:in order to get 3 stripes. you need to go through aslc.
ASLC = Tekong, for Infantry, Guards and Cdo Specs.
The support ppl go to their respective training schools, i.e. Armour ppl go Gedong, Signals go Stagmont, Engineers go to good 'ol Nee Soon

when u are in a place u don't like and can't change, u just have to grow stronger and survive it... life's like that too... -
well, we'll see

during my batch of bslc, an avg of 20%-25% of the whole coy OOC. most from shin splints injuries sustained during training.
and about 1/2 of the time will be having combat rations, even for in-camp exercises.
anyway, it's really a good place to build up your character. and only 1 word can get you thru'... "ENDURE!"
