good for you! i have always heard people saying they wish to sign on guards or commando. you are one of the rarer ones going for my ex-vocation.Originally posted by sidestep1984:i got a few questions..

well just wonder if there are any prerequisites...get disheartened if i get turned down...i guess there are no selection like when u are signing on CDO huh?Originally posted by wuming78:good for you! i have always heard people saying they wish to sign on guards or commando. you are one of the rarer ones going for my ex-vocation.
anyway yes, you can still go for the course even if you are an infantry soldier.
personalised sbo? this will really depend on the unit you go to. but more often than not they would not allow radically different equipments, especially non-saf issued types.
nothing wrong with signing on! welcome to the family!![]()
for commandoes one has to be pes a. as for selection, yah, there is one for commandoes.Originally posted by sidestep1984:well just wonder if there are any prerequisites...get disheartened if i get turned down...i guess there are no selection like when u are signing on CDO huh?
wonder if a silver in NAPFA would get me considered.....anywaes...i still think Infantry is one of the best units out there as there are many possibilities...i'd still wanna volunteer for ADF once i am in to broaden my scope and experience so i guess it is exciting enuff...
well.....i'd rather have silent pride than be overly proud...anywaes...i wanna go through my Section Leaders tour to gain some basic squad handling experience before applying for ADF to widen my scope...i guess ADF would be few years down the road for me if i manage to get into the army...anyways...thanks for all the replies..Originally posted by wuming78:for commandoes one has to be pes a. as for selection, yah, there is one for commandoes.
a silver in napfa is quite good. at least it means you won't need to go through the PTP phase. in any case, they would ask you to take the ippt if you intend to sign on before you enlist.
yes. with the recent shift in focus to the regular infantry soldier in terms of technological support, weapons and doctrine enhancements, this is one of the best times to join the combat arm! of course, in terms of prestige, the infantryman would not get as much as the guards or commandoes. but i hope that is not what you are looking for.
however, if you intend to sign on to ADF, you need to do so directly.
