If you were to pick 370 fit ones out of 20,000 enlistees.
of course you would know it's the fittest ; it's roughly about 2% who gets selected . If you were to select 2% of the fittest in SAF to challenge them in terms of running , i would then call it a fair challenge -

there's a culture behind these knives (Kukri). once drawn out of their pouch, it has to touch human blood before it can be put back into the pouch.Originally posted by M©+square:can read up on it.

Seems to be a legend according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KukriOriginally posted by kentheman:there's a culture behind these knives (Kukri). once drawn out of their pouch, it has to touch human blood before it can be put back into the pouch.
Although a popular legend states that a Gurkha "never draws his blade without drawing blood", the kukri is most commonly employed as a multi-use utility tool, rather like a machete. It can be used for building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, cutting meat and vegetables, skinning and also for opening tins.

overtake that runner multiple times? that means that runner has overtake the gurkha many times also lah...?Originally posted by DriftingGuy:They are so fit.. they can race with the fittest saf runner wearing boots and long 4.. and overtake that runner multiple times. -
Read from a book about Gurkhas....that during the Falklands War, a whole Argentine Regiment surrendered when they heard thet the Gurkhas were coming to attck them without firing a single shot .....the only shots that they fired was at their own officer who forced them to fight the Gurkhas....the reputation of the Gurkha being fearless n brutal in battle sure bring chill down the spine...one thing for sure, i wouldn't fight them head on.....
-
Are they consider special operations forces?

you also from there ah.. haha..Originally posted by tlwa:Ace huh? -
