Originally posted by chong_ccc:would appreciate if anyone an provide me with info on gettin into OCS... juz finish my A's and will be enlistin into NDU april nxt yr.. would like to noe if there r any extra criterias to be met so tt i can qualify for OCS in NDU? how many ppl do they choose from a batch of divers to go for OCS? any diving officers or officers? plz help! Thanx..
mm, the IPPT thing not quite correct la......Originally posted by hellweeker:I think wad sidestep said is correct..
if u have wad it takes to be an officer.. u would be chosen
if u don't.. dun be so hard up..
U r oredi the most well trained NSF in singapore..
Diving... riot control... many weapons... heli repellling.. demolition..
land combat ..
not all officers are respected anyway.....
let me tell u why:
NDU IPPT requirement for 2.4k is 9mins 14sec
this is the requirement for specs..
if one goes for officer course.. he would be a diving officer..
and would fall into the category of officers...
IPPT requirement for officers?? 2.4k is 9mins 45sec
thus a couple of officers in NDU cannot meet 914 timing.. but they have IPPT gold..
so how did they make it to OCS?? i wonder how...... but they are nt respected in anycase..

The Award requirements are determined by vocation and not rank la......
As long as you're a PTI, Diver or Commando, the standard is the same, regardless of rank.
land phase first ah.. still called BCT?? taken by training wing??Originally posted by caligu:the overall course duration has been shortened after they amended the nsf term to 2 yrs.
now the course phases:
BMT, Land phase, Physical phase, Dive phase
Y worry abt that? Just make sure you hit 9.14.Originally posted by chong_ccc:hey hellweeker.... thanx for all the info provided... i have know alot more abt divers in NDU.....yah perhaps i will juz see how it goes..but i am still not tt sure abt the part where u said tt officers in NDU who did not make it for their 2.4 under 914....so they r awarded gold under the normal IPPT standards and not the IPPT standards in NDU lah?
x2..black tape still as impt?Originally posted by Weakling86:hey.... jus curious....on the day tt we enlist...must bring wat? same as those things tt ppl buy when they go beach road if they enlist into tekong?
$240 / $250 only? so much less compared to tekong ah? hahaOriginally posted by hellweeker:When i was enlisted, pay was $240 for recruit.. then after BMT it's $250
after which u will collect this allowance until the day u get ur dive pin.. upon grad u'll be backpayed whatever they own u...
That was during his time.Originally posted by tripudio_mutatio:$240 / $250 only? so much less compared to tekong ah? haha
