They were indeed sign-on under the "Lear As You Earn" scheme. The Plt Sgts at 41SAR that time are cross trained in AI and Tank ... before I joined 41SAR in 1994, the previous mono-intake was a tank battalion under MAJ Varma.Originally posted by kops21:Is Neo an AI convert to TK? I believe he signed on after O Level for those Earn-As-You-Learn-Scheme.
Actually I'm not the 41SAR intake. I was trained as roving team an insturctor thru out my 2.5 years of NSF. I was posted to 41SAR for trade course in Aug 1993 after my BMT. That was really hell under Dine Swee that time. After completed my section leader courses in SAFTI and SOA, posted back to take recruits till 41SAR turned operational.Originally posted by skyfire:Yap...nice to see another 41 brother here
For 2SG Neo's case, you refering to the tank overturn case ? Sad case, he is quite a nice guy but think we left already when it happens.
All those Learn-as-You Earn Specialists(10+) are from my patch of ADSL. I can sense that my fellow coursemates have tekan you or someone else in the forum.Originally posted by flash9933:That was really hell under Dine Swee that time.

Neo and Dine slept next bunk of mine during the course days. Neo was a fun guy to be with, still remember the days when we got together for talk co%# sessions, he passed away after i had ROD.Dine is a strange person, maybe bcos of his family's army background. Later he ended up in DB, "drag" one of my friend down as well.
In fact a few fellow specialista(same course) got term in DB, make me think, why have those specialists done wrong to deserve this?
I agree that most of thos LAYE specialists have came out of the Army, but a handful still remains. Those that stayed are mostly WO leow....
