If the LP is used over and over again like Geylang,the pilot dont really need to take intruction from a marshaller,close two eyes oso can mah but sometimes the TAG team do work on virgin vegetation and f they are the ones who clear the area and set up everything,in this case the pilot has to put some trust especially in night exercises so you kurniangs better know your jobs>Originally posted by I_love_my_toilet:
Must be NCC ?
I done TAG b4. I signal left copter fly right, b4 i signal land the copter already landed. I gan hot, approach the pilot y dun he listen to me ?
The pilot is a MAJ wor, he gan me, WTFRU ?
I stunned tio coz i only 3 strip nia.
The pilot has his co-pilot and air-crew(the specialist behind who open and close the door for u) to look out for lor.
Then i realise my purpose is to wayang play around with the torch light-like thing nia(synchronise my signal with the copter movement), my main purpose is to make sure the orange carpet is firmly fixed onto the ground. TATS ALL.
At night Lagi best. Pilot, Co-pilot n air-crew all have NVG on. Cfm see better than me lah. Coz At night use IR carpet.
maybe TAG will be more useful during ops time lor when the 'ideal LZ' is not available -
Actually, why the pilot dun care u is bcos in SG, the terrain is very small. The pilots have flown many times already, bsides the number of landing zone is limited in SG, therefore they more or lees know where to land.
But in Australia, last itme I train there, the pilots need to follow carefully whatever instructions ppl from TAG give them, bcos in Australia, everywhere is a potential landing zone, thus they can't close their eyes and anihow fly.
My most unforgetable heli flight is in Australia. The wind there is so strong that the ppls sitting at the back feels machiam like Initial D, get down the helicopter feel like puking liao. The sniper from 7SIB bend towards me and asked, "this pilot got license a not? He driving his family car har?"
Things to look out for.......U must remember to fasten sit belts properly. When training overseases. They practise combat flying, even for RSAF. The doors of the copter is not closed and the ACS is just protected with a cable attached. They swoop down fast and sharp when reaching LZ machiam like real ops and the de-planing is done veri fast. -

all GDS are train in air and sea insert be it the BN is under air cap or sea cap.
one must know a DIV will move in in both way ie air and sea.
taking SAF context a DIV with 3 fighting GDS/INF Bde, 2 may air insert and 1 sea landing or the other way round.
breaking down to smaller ops in Bde level saying GDS Bde, 2 BN may air insert and with 1 doing sea landing is nothing wrong at all.
in whatever case, when Pathfinder are not available to guide in the air and sea element. the BN advance party, scout or CRT are to do it.
to note, GDS Bde used to have 1, 2, 3 GUARDS BN, 7BTS and of couse Bde HQ which consist of BRC, Sniper, Light Strike before going into formation. -

He apparantly dunno whether he was specialised in heliborne or sea, and apparantly didn't even know about the "A" and "B" equlus84 mentioned in earlier post.
Then I talk to him in greater length, and realised he did both "A" and "B" like equlus84, and after that he told me his WHOLE COMPANY did TAG. (Apparantly he misunderstood me on TAG the first time).. By that time I blur liao, so he explain to me that each platoon specialises in certain skill.. i.e. Platoon 1 trained in TAG, Platoon 2 in river crossing, Platoon 3 in assault, blah blah... but they are cross-trained, so they can take over each others role...
Then from what I interpret the entire Guards is trained in all aspects liao. -
it sure is a TAB but for sure not US Special Forces tab.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Those who wear the Special Forces tab on the right sleeve of their uniform, are US Special Forces qualified.
I've seen it with my own eyes, but it is only the top tab that they are allowed to wear.
for those CDO with Special Forces train, they wear on right bres@t pocket. oni few in SAF has. it a metal tab.

one more to note. all active BN will be train in all ops.
oni when one goes into ORD and reserve BN than he will be specify what his BN is doing. one GUARDSMAN may be actively doing sea landing during active time but doing air in his reserve. -
pilot dun care u is bcos in SG is half correct. they do follow NS man guide even when it in SG. you forget that they like to on the spot light when coming in.Originally posted by equlus84:Actually, why the pilot dun care u is bcos in SG, the terrain is very small.

active verse NS man.
simple reason... it happen b4. NS man complain.
it goes some thing like this.
"the organization is wasting our time by giving non-realistic training. why put a marshaller when pilot just land as and when he like." the actual letter is worst than this.
talking about flight path, nothing compare to Thailand earth terrain navigation flight path. it so near to the river that water splashes into the cabin.
btw, we are in UH 1H and i dun think SP will do that now. -
My friend said he only used Super Puma and Chinook, never rode in a Huey.

Hmm, so they actually do more then coastal hook and Heli repelling?>

I swear to god that i make sure the LP is confirm free from debris, every piece of shit i sure picked them up.
The orange carpet i done is like super-glued to the ground, even Katrina comes the carpet wont fly.
My marshalling signal confirm is top-grade, can fight with TP. -

I almost puked after tat.
My most forgettable landing area is a open field filled with nothing but grass, kangaroo dung and houseflies.
But i forgave the pilot coz he waited for me n buddies.
We were 10 mins late for the flight -
Huey too small ba.Originally posted by chanjyj:My friend said he only used Super Puma and Chinook, never rode in a Huey.
And Huey phased out le.
I never rode in a chinook too.
Must be cool, so spacious sia.
I wonder, do chinooks cause more downwash ? -
Most probably coz of the cost incurred ?Originally posted by acwire_2125:Hmm, so they actually do more then coastal hook and Heli repelling?>
Heli one shld have cost more i think.
Chiong sua shld be the most -

You got do breakddance on the panel or not? No wonder the major not happy
Just now who asked about Huey?
They were sold to the Philippine Armed Forces Oreddy so no chance to sit but dont scared ar still got Dumbo in Tokyo Disneyland>Yayyy!! -

I'm just curious. If this chan fellow keeps checking what the guys here say with his friends in Guards and CDOs and comes back disagreeing, why doesn't he just get his information from them in the first place?
By the way, wearing one's qualification badges is not a matter of showing off - it's just as much part of the uniform as a name tag or rank insignia. In any case, many of those badges are only seen within Hendon camp. -

I am starting to like him already also there is nothing much to find out in here. -
Because I think my buddies info is inherently unreliable. My GDS friend said he has dual Sing-Malay citizenship, but I don't believe him one bit cause I think Singapore don't allow such things..

Short Ninja: I missed out the action, but mainly my own fault because of my personality. I'm pretty much a loner; most people leave me alone and I leave them alone. So I don't hear much. My friends say I have a "don't mess with me face"
. Was PES A actually, but not in any mono-intake. Ordinary posting __________ (Fill in your the blank yourself)
And especially not MAF -
Prob the reason why I keep to myself.

Keep it simple. The difference between infantry, Guards and Commandos is the area of operations. Infantry holds your front lines. Commandos work hehind the enemy's front lines. Guards work in no-man's-land in between. Training, skills, equipment, badges, underwear are all subject to the requirements of the different AOs, nothing more, nothing less.
