Fomr what I heard in OCS now, the tri-service is now the LAST phase they go through. Service Term 1 is now the first phase of training in OCS.Originally posted by icystalk:seriously the army does not change gals into tomboy...in fact in ocs they emphasize on u being a lady more than anything...
For bmt (OCS)...basically the training syllabus is totally the same as the guys in tekong jus tat u will be training with gals instead (So there's lots of moral support etc to push n encourage each other on...)training includes...pt lessons, m16 handling, soc (clean fatigue n only need to clear 6 out of 11 stations), field camp, 24km route march, basic combat, grenade throw, hmmm etc.... as its progressive training, ur body will slowly be conditioned to the physical load... normally the gals will come in with ippt pass n by the end of bmt, they will get gold
so its more of pushing urself mentally to perform...
After bmt the guys will join in for ocs tri-service term...u will spent 2 weeks in Sierra wing for the leadership field camp which includes navigation package and some other stuff before u move off to air wing

and can explain more abt the "emphasize on u being a lady more than anything" part for ocs? how does it work exactly? hmm.. quite curious leh.. haha.. then for the SOC, what r the stations ladies need 2 go thru, then what is clean fatigue?
i also heard that for the 1 of the field camps in OCS, need 2 source for own food, like killing animals n stuff like that.. is it true? got what other "scary" things in OCS?
thanks! -

for the lady part...basically the gals are required to book out with white shirt n black skirt with pump shoe and u are strictly to behave like a lady in tis attire (no big movement... different selangdiri (hmm sry cant spell) position when falling in to carry urself like a woman).... go through a 2days grooming workshop after bmt which will teach u make-up, dressing, dining, etc (no kidding...n seriously quite interesting)...plus the fact tat since gals are rare in the army.... somehow u will tend/try to conduct urself better as everyone is watching...the onli difference between a cv n army gal may only be the fact tat she can bath faster n eat faster lol...everything else, u will still appear as jus the gal next door
Clean fatigue = only no4 uniform n boots without sbo n helmet
soc stations to clear = run to 1st station, jump over low log with bard wire, low rope, jump over another log, swinging bridge, window, jacob's ladder, run to end point
hmmm seriously for the 'scary' stuff...u will learn to overcome n forget them

Then apart from shooting down aeroplanes, what else do the ppl there do?
Thanks!! -
