But there were serious discussion among the senior management to ban camera-phones and PDAs and any image/video-recording device into SCDF camps and units. Just because of this person called 'SGT Ha-mee-duh'.
ah well. anyway as a recruit you're not allowed to bring camera phone or charger (during my time, now i dunno).
but when u go into ERS, you can bring charger, and camera phone, and camera.
we even brought video cam cuz we had to do our POP video. and i had to do the rota photopage. -
Countdown
3 more days to those who are enlisted on the 9th -
first day very relaxed wan. alot of lectures, tell you if u wanna suicide who to talk to, meet the OO.
Alpha encik is encik john, very nice guy, very big size, but wah lao, he pump iron i will scared. hahaha.
bravo encik is encik thong, cranky old man, and very fierce, but good heart.
charlie encik is encik *forgot name*, nice encik also, grey hair and mustache is his trademark look.
all the encik i can talk like friends la *i already got rank liao at that time*
Alpha OC, i forgot his name, but he's an arse la. he only want to protect his backside. but his pool game quite good haha. but he got this habit of describing his next shot, like planning what to do.
Bravo OC i forgot who liao.
Charlie OC is cap segar. outwardly he quite nice, like v concerned about the recruits, but he oso protect backside wan. his nick is called the smiling tiger (be careful) -
let me know who go ERS ok?

After looking and thinking so much, I think I would have a lower chance or wouldn't be able to get into ERS at all. this is because those PTP squad who went in 4 weeks ago have already been chosen to be in ERS and the squad that will be enlisted on the 9/10/07 will be the fit squad and the Bp squad.
So logically, the fit squad would join the ptp squad that made it to ERS and that makes it harder for the Bp squad to get a place in ERS even if we were to pass out IPPT in there. -

ERS need to go through interview wan.
those PTP stage and those fit squad will go for interview together. -
really? Ok.. that's comforting to hear. I really hope to be in ERS man. But training seems a bit harsh. And i surely hope i can go thru it with ease and not to mention pass the IPPT and SOC so that i can POP with a seargent else it will be a wasted 6 months. hahaOriginally posted by dumbdumb!:no la.

well, truthfully, not everyone pass out. there will be ppl who drop out, who gets injured along the way and have to ooc, some die, some fail ippt or the final exercises..Originally posted by joe_cole:really?

there will be a few major milestones to overcome.
Presentation Skill - just presenting any topic u want for 20 mins. I taught the class how to play a guitar.
Footdrill Commands - how to give basic footdrill commands. turn left, turn right, turn back, turn front, U-turn, march here, march there..
IPPT - minimum Silver (I so proud to have attained it, because I never passed IPPT b4)
SOC - A pass of completing it in 09:30 mins.
BAPT - Doing some gym exercises (pulling weights, brisk walking, cycling at a certain speed, and endless ladder) while wearing the full fire fighting gear , and the BA set (got time limit to wear everything, or else fail). then going through a rat maze filled with traps in the darkness and smoke, to find your way out before your air tank whistle blow (which means u left 10 mins of air). So even if you're totally tired, you have to force yourself to control your breathing, so you won't consume too much air.
Final Exercise - You have to take on the role of either first Sect Comm, Intelligence(I forgot the proper term for it) or DO, and use whatever you learn to lead your 40 fire fighters to fight fires in different scenarios. There's oil tank fire (need alot of brain power and planning, calculate wind direction etc), ship fire fighting, 2 room fire, 3 room fire, underground rescue mission, ktv fire, flashover, Chemical Agent incidents, Mass casualty, Suicide, Flashover.
the skills you'll pick up are:
how to carry 3 lengths of hoses, how to lay hoses, how to recover hoses, how to operate hydrants, how to set up BA, how to use the hose sling, how to operate rescue equipments, how to transport casualties, CPR, how to bandage wounds, how to use medical equipments, how to set up ladders, how to operate the pump and primer, and other vehicles, impulse gun., long layon, rappelling. etc.
Basic Task Manual (BTM): various drills, you'll hear S1W3 alot.
How to tackle Flashover fire (the most exciting experience), the fire is 1000 degrees.
Very exciting I tell you.
We will dance where the devil lives... -
