If you have to ask, don't bother asking.

Hahahaha...Alize, I guessed that was because this page is mainly to understand the life/stages of elite troops who will naturally invite more gossips than others.
Lots of speculations, rumours and guesses were added due to some ignorant and irresponsible guys.
Just try to judge correctly when you take any info. Good luck.
Yeah, wannabes are a dime a dozen around these parts.
hey erm can i knw if i can still get into NDU with non perfect eyesights if i fulfil the other requirements?

- My family holds PR status, currently actually renewing, I'm 16 and 4 month, so in time for 16.6 call up?
- 3rd son out of 3, my 2 brothers both Army, but eldest dropped out after one year, other is 3SG, ORD in September.
- My eyesight L,-2.25 and R,-2.50
- No medical history
- BMI 20, lean muscle, fit
- I go to boarding school in England, "smart", top student, top school, good grades, Olevel/GCSE and Alevel/Pre-U
- Do CCF (cadet) in England and enjoy leading/challenging
Can? How, intake chosen, do I just express interest?Oso, my birthday is January, does that mean cannot enlist September? My friend told me must be before December and he now also has to go in December, my brothers were both before.Thanks,
Hello,
I am sorry, but expressing interest does not really help much.
For CDO, only 1500 people are randomly choose from mostly pesA and some pesB who met the requirement to attend a vocational assesment (VA). Only 250 of these 1500 are chosen to join the CDO.
Here are some requirement for CDO,
>165cm tall
>55kg
>less then 300 degree in each eye
>Being only son will NOT effect your chance of being selected, please update youself.
>Being smart or top student does not give you a higher chance. There are IQ test during the VA.
If you are lucky, you might be chosen to attend the VA. Just do you best in every station and the interview.
By the way,
Anyone know when is the enlistment date for CDO for ptp batch?
Anyone gotten the letter for CDO enlistment for ptp batch? or someone you know gotten it?
Hi people, i'm going for my check up soon so i wanna ask if is there any way to like volunteer for the VA thing?
Originally posted by AhhNick:Hi people, i'm going for my check up soon so i wanna ask if is there any way to like volunteer for the VA thing?
Ok I will teach you.
1) Upon encountering a door, stand still near the opening and wait. When someone questions you, tell him you thought the door was automated and you were waiting - make them open it for you.
2) Whenever someone opens the door for you (See #1) - Walk in LIKE A BOSS.
3) Refuse to comb your hair when asked by the dude taking pictures for you, insist on calling your mother if they force you.
4) Scream "AH I AM BLEEDING, I AM BLEEDING!" upon injection, proceed to cry and tell the medical assistant how your girlfriend dumped you.
5) During the hearing test - in the chamber, bang on the glass panel with both hands and pretend you are dying from gas poisoning. Accuse them of using bio chemical weapons then talk about universal soldiers.
6) Recite "S...E...X" during eyesight test.
7) During the interview with the medical officer (which you have to take off your pants), ask him to "touch it".
8) Insist on having Pes C, proceed to tell everyone C = Commando.
9) Finally, no you can't volunteer for VA, they pick you. But you can do the above just for kicks.
Hello,
Does anyone know when is the next enlistment date for CDO for ptp batch?

Hi, how does one become a ranger? I am very interested, but eyesight above 300 already Got a PES A though... still possible if i express interest during BMT?
I didnt get any formal invitations to CDO or NDU so far, but i really want to be a part of their team...
Sign on first, then think about the Ranger tab.

Guards uses helicopters to rappel down ropes to combat grounds, thus it is an air borne unit.
Airborne refers to paradropping though. A better description for our Guards' capabilities would be air assault.

There are people who fail Napfa who entered CDO. However, it is interesting that you got flat feet but still got posted to CDO.
If you perform badly inside, yes, you will be kicked out. By badly, I mean fail or screw something up, not borderline pass (e.g. Getting just pass for IPPT).
