Airborne Troopers Report In!!!!
-
All airborne troopers from SAF and leisure skydivers come in and tell everyone your experiences, ie fun, danger, photos, etc.
PS: I'm not promoting the sport.
I'm just another ex-jumper who is contemplating to carry on the sport.
THE WORLD IS MY DROPZONE. -
u are a ex-commando ah?
-
yes i was.
or you too??? -
this was quite a funny yet severe incident that happened during one of my currency jumps.
the C130 pilot must have been jerking off too much and lost his bearings.
he flew too close to the hangers and some of my guys landed on the planes parked outside. it was pretty nasty for them i presume. cos we were never trained to land on foreign objects like planes.... hahahaha.....
you must be thinking why don't they avoid....
sometimes, it's really hard to control those military chutes,
the best they could do was to land on the wings, but risk falling another short distance down to the ground.
the stuff on the planes are pretty sharp too.
so they landed on the planes, the CO or god knows who saw it or heard from the control tower, came rushing out and scolding our people for damaging his god-damn planes. it was hilarious.
not sure what happened to that pilot though. -
no lah, i'm not commando.Originally posted by tristan21:yes i was.
or you too???
what's your rank and appointment btw? -

You know, you can request to get into commandos if you really want to.
I heard of cases of people submitting NRIC numbers to S1 so that they will get the 2nd letter for medical and physical tests.
Anyone can make it there.
It may sound mentally and physically tough., but i guess it's one's mindset and the undying strength you get from each and everyone of your platoon mates to carry on that got me through the initial phase.
After that,you will feel that anything is possible.
Commandos are also human and everyone were students in the same schools that everyone else go to. It's not the people that are special, it's the training. I believe that commando training can really nurture a man from the boys we are. I'm not saying that the other units don't do that. You really have to suffer a bit then you can grow up.
I have always advised pre-NSF people that either way you also have to get through the 2 or 2 1/2 yrs, why don't join a combat unit and make lots of friends and have fun? What's so fun going to the office everyday and doing shitloads of paperwork? You will be doing almost the same thing for the rest of your life anyway. -
I think it's the bigger planes, like C130 and KC135.
The fighter plane are seldom parked outside, I think. -

I can be really lame if i tell you to upgrade yourself and offer to move to combat fit job.
Whatever you are doing there now, just have fun , take it easy, if got chance to go out to other camps, as long as it's out of your office, just go.
You also have a lot of free time which is good to do other stuff.
Cheers -
So when's your next in camp coming up..heard they are combining ict with art...well u can jump again then..=)
