why do you think hendon has such a deep pool for ? .... Hint: it's not for water survival training alone ...Originally posted by Special Splint:well...on which basis...erm i find it hard to compare btw these two elite forces...naval diving units like do the same stuffs as commando like parachuting n rapelling n they are also specialise in diving which commandos do not...from my point of view i think naval diving unit is more siong but they do not receive the kind of recognition commandos get...nevertheless my interest lies towards commandos![]()
haha then what else is it used for then...rear fishes inside?Originally posted by Fatum:why do you think hendon has such a deep pool for ? .... Hint: it's not for water survival training alone ...
but yeah ... everyone has a different mission ... there's no way to compare ... and we shouldn't ..![]()
haha jaws n giant squuids in Singapore?? No la what naval divers should be aware of are jellyfishes n stonefishes...both species r highly dangerous n some might be poisonous n prove to be fatal with with their attacks...commandos shd worry that the birds pierce through their parachute haha just kidding...Originally posted by BadzMaro:i wonder what happens if the divers meets jaws.. or those giant squids. while doing a job...![]()
Apart from the unique NDU PT kit that they don and their super tan complexion... it'll be through their Professional Diver badge...Originally posted by Icemoon:How to we recognise a NDU? Their beret is any special color?

U can recognise them by their professional diving badge..Originally posted by Icemoon:How to we recognise a NDU? Their beret is any special color?
well said.Originally posted by riken1974:For those who had been to NDU's cookhouse....there's a chinese motto taken from the Taiwanese Underwater Demolition Group or some will call Taiwan Navy Seal "Qi Shan Mo Qi Shui"= written on the wall of the cookhouse....it means you can bully the mountain but never bully the sea....so who is better...is up to u to guess
intepretation: you'd like to jump in on the bandwagon chasing the illusory prestige that is commandos? ie: less work for more prestige?Originally posted by Special Splint:Ya i do have to admit NDU training is much tougher since they spend most of the time in the water...and their hell week --120hrs of non-stop physical exertion with only a mere 2-3 hrs of sleep! Guess they have already learnt whats the meaning of mind over body BUT! after all those tough trainings,their recognition is so minute compared to the prestigous red berets...for me i rather go for commandos n earn the kind of recognition n respect rather than to go through a much more tougher physical regime n only to be thrown far back in the majority minds....From what i know commandos trainings aren't easy too...they r as hard cos they do lots and lots of running which not everyone can take it...btw god bless me when i enter commandos for BMT...
commando trainings r tough as well n it is not easy to be a commando...u cant say less work for more prestigedepend on individual thinking la...Originally posted by nomood:intepretation: you'd like to jump in on the bandwagon chasing the illusory prestige that is commandos? ie: less work for more prestige?
hmm, i suppose you're right. who wouldn't want that?![]()
but clearly as an individual you agree that commandos get more prestige for a lot less work? allow me to quote you from 2 posts earlier...Originally posted by Special Splint:commando trainings r tough as well n it is not easy to be a commando...u cant say less work for more prestige depend on individual thinking la...
