SISPEC FAQ
-
Maybe i'll write an extension to this SISPEC FAQ in the future. As I went to the school of combat engineer after my BSLC, and consequently being made a "pia mia" comd in Infantry, maybe I'll write about the engineer course.

the specialist creed? not sure changed a not but this is what we are reciting now.
I am a Specialist of the Singapore Army
With pride I lead
I excel in my specialist field
Ensure the discipline of my soldiers
And readiness of their equipment
I overcome adversity with my fighting spirit
I will defend Singapore with my life -
hmm... is there an infantry creed? anyone?

Ok, then I think the creed has changed. The one I learnt last time is longer than this one. I'll see if I can find and post the old version here.Originally posted by jeramy:I am a Specialist of the Singapore Army

Don't think infantry have creed leh. I only know the motto. Excellence thorough Professionalism -
Old Specialist Creed
-----------------------------------
I am a Specialist of the SAF,
The backbone of the Army,
I am proud of the Specialists' Corp,
I will excel in minor tactics, weapon handling, battle preparation, physical fitness and regimentation.
My basic responsibilities are, the accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers.
I lead to serve and serve to lead,
my men will be a reflection of mysel,
my country I will safeguard with my life. -

Training Specialist forces
Basic Section Leader Course (BSLC)
During the 10-week course, trainees are taught the weaponry in an infantry company, tactical skills like navigation, fire and movement, patrol and ambush procedures.
Advance Section Leader Course (ASLC)
While trainees of support arms formation continue their training at their respective units, Infantry and Guards trainees continue on to the ASLC. Different parts of training at BSLC are put together. For instance, section level movement is now taught at a platoon level. Trainees also go undergo training in four types of special operations - Fighting in Built-Up Area (FIBUA), Fighting on Fortified Objectives (FOFO), Heli-Ops and Watermanship. Towards the end of this 11-week course, trainees attend a high confidence course and train overseas.
Platoon Sergeant Course
As the 'right-hand man' of the Platoon Commander, a Platoon Sergeant looks into all aspects of the running of a platoon, including weaponry, rations, and welfare matters. This 25-day course better prepares him for this role through more leadership and people management courses. Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs), Operationally Ready National Servicemen (NSmen) and Regulars are sent for this course.
Company Sergeant Major (CSM) Course
This follows the Platoon Sergeant Course, with both courses focused more on building upon previous knowledge. In both courses, knowledge is imparted through experiential learning and instructors guide trainees more than teach. All combat Specialists who are to hold CSM appointments attend this course. For Regulars, this includes two weeks of training in drills procedures. NSmen skip this and go for a four-week course instead.
