  expect to see 3 type of people.
  
  type 1 - super wayang oscar winners type.
  
  type 2 - normal type, those that truly deserve a shot at OCS or SISPEC.
  
  type 3 - those bo chup destined to be man type.

  SIT test is like there is a stated time/place for it? (No element of surprise)
  
  Or, is it like, ANYTIME during BMT they just create a scenario and see how you react? (Element of surprise)
  
  Which one ?

  for SIT test, be prepared to be hit by snipers, hit by artillery rounds and a lot of running around shouting like a madman.

  for me it boils down to the following:
  
  when you are the leader, do your best to lead; when you are the follower, be a good follower and do your best to support the leader.
  
  cooperation and teamwork
  
  positive attitude and frame of mind
  
  endurance and never giving up
  
  anyway i remembered the 8 (or isit 16?) km route march to the camp site (almost died), the setting up of bashas under the bloody hot sun, doing push ups and running around in FBO, screwing up my own mission (i think), and rain...

  this might be off topic but i think asking all my questions in one thread might be better.
  
  how come my CSM gives command in a funny tone? the way he say SEDI-YA. the YA is like very funny, first time hear almost laugh and duno what to do. my frends also agree. is it those senior people in the army give commands in this wierd tone? his CHEPAT JA-LAN also very funny.

  during SIT test, go for roles like the navigator, engineer and signaller which doesn't require them to carry heavy equipments. avoid medic and gunner unless u like running around with a stretcher or LAW on your back.

  if i am not wromg, 8km from sch to site (1st day)
  16km round the site
  
  16km was a killer for me due to the bloody rain and mud
  almost fainted
  
  the toughest part for the 24km was the 20-24 distance.
  feel so shag

  Being a casualty does NOT guarantee a soft ride back on a stretcher.You might be manhandled.
  
  Choose to be bomb disposal or Field Engineer.Trust me.
