i guess that means u r in mono-intake to 3 gds?Originally posted by mr_sotong:kanna posted to 3rd Guards Battalion for my PTP...... wonder what does 3rd Guards Battalion do?
as with all other units, it means going through ur entire ns at the unit. u train there on gds ops and then eventually go for an evaluation test (for the whole mono-intake).
wat 3 gds does is no difference from wat 1 gds do. -
wonder what does 3rd Guards Battalion do?
Mono-intake BMT, then GDS conversion (if they keep you), followed by uni-training for operational status.
Look sagely at your fellow recruits - most of you are gonna be together for the next 15 years or so, inc. the reservist ICT cycle. -

Don't worry! 3 Guards is a very nice family.
You'll be well taken care off. but... the new CO is said to be quite strict.
You can't do anything abt that so just enjoy your 2 years at 3 guards lah! just across East Coast Park! Alot of your training will be done there =) -
I also got enlisted to 3rd Guards Battalion this 17 December 2004, but I think most probably I would defer.
I would also like to know more about what 3rd Guards Battalion do. -
1st of all, u must complete your BMT. BMT is the same as in tekong. then if they decides to keep u, u'll need to go through a Guards Conversion Course to become a guardsman.
guardmans do stuffs like rappelling, heliborne operations and travel on the Light Strike Vehicle.

To finish the course is an honour, definitely

I heard 1st guards more specialised in Air/ heli ops...
Then 3rd guards more on amphibous ops, eg: beach landing...
Issit true ?
Of coz, all guardsmen r well-trained in rappelling, heli-ops.

What if I fail my BMT or they decided not to keep me? And then if let say I got into the Guards Conversion Course and I failed, what will happen? Does the majority of people pass this thing although it's tough? If minority of people failed or droped out this course, what's the common reason behind?
Sorry, I asked too many questions. -

If it's Arty during my time (late '80s), the mono-intakers we don't keep were sent to be trained as storemen or other service (not combat) soldiers. The mortarman-course dropouts, however, were retained by the unit as much as possible - as part of CQ staff or mess boy or whatever - due to the "once a gunner, always a gunner" mantra. Dunno about the GDS doctrine for both stages.
Guards Conversion Course, like a lot of vocational training, is more proficiency-oriented. Training is tough, but otherwise progressive & very specialized (weapons, heli-rappelling, jungle survival, etc. - but good luck with the reputed coastal swim test) over 5 weeks. I believe it's rare to fail unless you OOC due to an injury or something. The latter is the most common reason for your last question. -
Bedok Camp is a nice camp.Nice surrounding,just beside ECP,very balmy always.Near to some nice places to chill out too.Originally posted by mr_sotong:kanna posted to 3rd Guards Battalion for my PTP...... wonder what does 3rd Guards Battalion do? -
