anyone can tell me what is this? i was called for enlistment

Your being ordered to report there for enlistment in the Commando Formation.Therefore you are essentially part of a Commando mono-intake. You will be trained as a Commando in the SAF, which includes LRRPs,jungle survival,recce,raids, airborne training. After being a trainee for ard 1 yr( correct me if i am wrong here), you will pass out and receive your red beret, and u will serve out your remaining NS libaility as a Commando .

Not just 10 SIB. 56 SAB also shifted there in 10/2001, AFAIK. Don't tell me now both returned to Selarang? What's the point of moving them in the first place?Originally posted by Icemoon:what happened to 10SIB in that camp ah? -
I thought CDO have different training for their COY ... they have LRRP platoon and strike platoon... that wat my CDO fren told me ... he is in LRRP ..quite switch off compared to strike platoon...Mission is like after insertion he can sleep liao... that might have changed as he served in the early 90s

Hmm, I think this one you need to ask Gedanken. He served in CDO before & knows Pandiaraj personally.Originally posted by seancannot:I thought CDO have different training for their COY ... they have LRRP platoon and strike platoon... that wat my CDO fren told me ... he is in LRRP ..quite switch off compared to strike platoon...Mission is like after insertion he can sleep liao... that might have changed as he served in the early 90s -
LRRP coys and Strike coys actually, LRRP coys are invariably poly batches, strike coys are A level batches, actually, everyone turn ops as a strike, then LRRP designated coys go for recon training after their red beret ...Originally posted by seancannot:I thought CDO have different training for their COY ... they have LRRP platoon and strike platoon... that wat my CDO fren told me ... he is in LRRP ..quite switch off compared to strike platoon...Mission is like after insertion he can sleep liao... that might have changed as he served in the early 90s -

Thot LRRP stand for Long Range Recon Platoon (72 Hours or longer)Originally posted by Fatum:LRRP coys and Strike coys actually, LRRP coys are invariably poly batches, strike coys are A level batches, actually, everyone turn ops as a strike, then LRRP designated coys go for recon training after their red beret ...
BRC do midrange 48 Hours
Scout do short range 24 Hours -
actually lrrp is long range recon patrol...Originally posted by seancannot:Thot LRRP stand for Long Range Recon Platoon (72 Hours or longer)

Uh, nope - my company was a LRRP company and we were an A-level batch.Originally posted by Fatum:LRRP coys and Strike coys actually, LRRP coys are invariably poly batches, strike coys are A level batches, actually, everyone turn ops as a strike, then LRRP designated coys go for recon training after their red beret ...
To some extent, LRRP was quite switched off, although sleeping after insertion is definitely an exaggeration. The mission requirements are different - LRRP loads are heavier and missions are longer, while strike missions are more intensive. Personally, I preferred strike missions - after a few days sitting out in the weeds, things can get quite boring on a LRRP mission. -
Nah, the difference is in the area of operations. I can't recall the numbers precisely, but I think LRRPs are meant to operate between 70 to 150 km into enemy territory, while the other recce guys operate closer to home.Originally posted by seancannot:Thot LRRP stand for Long Range Recon Platoon (72 Hours or longer)

Think I remember my BRC fren told me their ration last 2 days only ... the CDO 72 hours or so for their pronounced as ' lurk' mission.Originally posted by Gedanken:Nah, the difference is in the area of operations.

LRRP mission also involve bringing equipments I think bomb , arty guidance system into the area of operation. But quite often there will be no proper extraction you are to left to fend for yourself in a war.... that y they said CDO are actually 'die first ' soldiers -
Not sure if target marking is part of the missions now - it wasn't in my day, but I believe that the CRF is tasked with marking these days.Originally posted by seancannot:Think I remember my BRC fren told me their ration last 2 days only ... the CDO 72 hours or so for their pronounced as ' lurk' mission.

As for extraction, why do you think we do 72 km marches? -
It means after u complete yr objective walk for 72km or a chopper take u away...Originally posted by Gedanken:Not sure if target marking is part of the missions now - it wasn't in my day, but I believe that the CRF is tasked with marking these days.

DO you think they will send up a high value assest such as Chopper to pick up a few corporal... remember my officer told me a few men die then equilvalent to an officer...
think of it... snipers , CDO who operate behind enemy lines... wat r their chance of getting out alive.. -
as much of a chance as those charging up an objective and taking itOriginally posted by seancannot:DO you think they will send up a high value assest such as Chopper to pick up a few corporal... remember my officer told me a few men die then equilvalent to an officer...

Betting odds are probably in favour of the snipers and CDOs.Originally posted by one-niner:as much of a chance as those charging up an objective and taking it
Hmmm. Sending men out without any intent or methods of extraction, especially in units like CDO where the culture leans towards individual thinking. Can't think of a better way to cause a mutiny, really. -
Remember I did some Terminal Air Guidance exercise before... we wait and wait for the chopper to come... in the end... the chopper pilot would not come due to bad weather... we waited like a foolOriginally posted by Gedanken:Betting odds are probably in favour of the snipers and CDOs.
