CO is from NDU and a Navy SEAL. CI is an Infantry SWO.Originally posted by stellazio:botak and from NDU?
this sounds like a recipe for siongness.
The training regime is geared towards training real front-line troops, because their duty is to protect the naval bases from threats coming from the sea, including amphibious assaults, commando raids etc.. -
Something to illustrate to you guys..
*Basically, you're trained by Marines Special Operations chaps in CARAT.
Marines Test SingaporeÂ’s Sea Soldiers
Story Number: NNS070726-11

FIBUA VILLAGE, Singapore (NNS) -- Marines and Sailors with III Marine Expeditionary ForceÂ’s Special Operations Training Group (SOTG) tested the Republic of SingaporeÂ’s Navy sea soldierÂ’s combat skills on July 19 in Fibua Village.
The exercise was part of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2007, and took place during the practical application portion of a Force Protection Anti-Terrorism package with the NavyÂ’s Mobile Security Squadron (MSS) 7, Coastal Warfare Group 1.
“Training with the sea Changi Defense Squadron (CDS, also known as sea soldiers) was a very unique experience,” said Marine Staff Sgt. Freddy Arencibia, the staff noncommissioned officer in charge of the CARAT SOTG Detachment. “We were there to probe their defensive posture so weaknesses could be identified. Our training with them resulted in a seamless final exercise with Singapore’s Navy.”
Before the exercise against the Marines, instructors with MSS-7 led the sea soldiers during a two-week course designed to teach them the basic skills used in a counterterrorism operation, such as counter surveillance, water-side security and handling vehicle control points.
During the event, the Marines role-played as a terrorist cell attempting to infiltrate the forward operating base by means of rioting, suicide bombers and surprise attacks at every possible angle of their perimeter.
“The whole purpose of this event is to validate the training we gave them,” said Chief Boatswain’s Mate Martin L. White, MSS-7. “They’ve been trained on how to conduct these types of operations by U.S. troops before. We’re building on that foundation and making sure they use proper techniques when they're attacked by the Marines.”
After the Marines bombarded the sea soldiers with a series of suicide bombers and riots, Marine Sgt. Aaron Smith, noncommissioned officer in charge of the SOTG Detachment, decided to give them what seemed like a break.
“We had hit them three times in a row so we decided to hit them when their guard was down,” Smith said. “Once we thought they let it down, we attacked and discovered that they were only getting better the more we went at them. They started communicating more and it made them a harder target.”
After an hour of rest, the Marines launched a complicated surprise attack, beginning with a vehicle borne improvised explosive device and ended with several smoke grenades used to simulated actual explosives, thrown at their forward operating baseÂ’s rear and right flank.
After a half hour of fighting off the Marines, the sea soldiers emerged victorious, completing their two-week training evolution with the U.S. Navy.
“This was exciting training for all my troops,” said Singapore Navy Capt. Teo Lawrence, the training officer for CDS. “We do a lot of things the same way but there are minor differences. We learned a lot from the Marines and Sailors who participated and hope to use their ground experience to improve our own tactics in the future.”
CARAT 2007, which also involves Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, is designed to build relationships and enhance the operational readiness of the participating forces. CARAT is an annual series of bilateral maritime exercises between the United States and five Southeast Asian nations.

Protect Changi/Tuas Naval Base. Job scope includes screening at gate, guard-duties 24/7 around the base, screening all vessels (non RSN) that come to the base, and intercepting vessels that approach to close.Originally posted by bladez87:what vocation is that?!?! can someone shed more light for me? thanks -
INF LDR is nothing lar..its just a vocation ...every infantry specialist graduated from SISPEC is INF LDR...
i think ur fren is RP at CNB lar...not any special thing... -
Sea Soldier = RP (Provost)
Since they are with the RSN, their jobs involve some seaborn security for the bases. But not all are involved.
The ultimate security for the Singapore Waters and Straits still lies on the RSN and PCG.
Btw these sea soldiers are protecting TNB and CNB.
Each of them have diff workking environment and culture...
I see these guys at TNB more relax than those guys at CNB...
It is through my observations and countless interactions with them. -

First day already the impression of the commanders is very strict...
Totally no time for rest in the morning till evening...
Stand by bed indeed is 4-5 times a day (or more!!!)...
Marching have to be perfect...
Turn out have to be tip top...
Second day...
Fantasising about outside life and booking out is the only factor that keep us going.
Third day booking out at evening, having the thoughts of not booking in anymore...
Anyway I believe this is a pretty cool vocation! We had just returned to the old days where our grandparents had to starch their uniform and polish their boots to kiwi shine!
Looking forward to the end of course and look cool when doing sentry. -

Basic training is the closest you will get to being Marines, especially with all the commands and naval terms.
Don't worry, I'll ask my friend in CNB to keep an eye out for you chaps
