I maybe wrong - but a long, long time ago - I always thought that the navy divers also attend basic commando training and basic airborne course. This is in addition to the diving courses. Some go on to do sniper, scout, medic, etc, courses as well.
However - with recent changes to NS (reduction to 2 years only), this may not be true. Even the commandos now go through a sightly shorter course it seems.

I dun think it's true... unlike Cdos, divers are not self sufficient... their medics by vocation are never divers and why the heck do they need sniper and scouts in the NDU for ??!!Originally posted by bcoy:I maybe wrong - but a long, long time ago - I always thought that the navy divers also attend basic commando training and basic airborne course.

It's true they do have the chance to attend BAC, but its only for the regulars... it's just not their required method of deployment... more of a confidence course... even if that's the case, i rarely see divers with airborne wings, they would rather go for courses which are more relevant to them... US Navy Seals attachments, Combat engineers demolition courses etc...
Just my point of view, if divers could do the job of the Cdos... we might as well disband the Cdos... haha -
As I've mentioned - this was a long time ago. And I'm referring to NS guys - not regulars. Of course, these days are different.Originally posted by Prestroz:I dun think it's true... unlike Cdos, divers are not self sufficient... their medics by vocation are never divers and why the heck do they need sniper and scouts in the NDU for ??!!
