No, but we do share a camp with them, and also know they go through more shit than us. I dunno why you call it field camp, when its more of outfield but don't come back to camp. I also went thru BSLC, and I thought those outfield were tough, but in unit, its so much worse.

You will have more outfield than you can ever imagine. Of course its tough, isn't that what BSLC prepared you for? Or is BSLC such a piece of cake now?

Hi,

Are you in the latest batch of SCTs in SCS (Specialist Cadet School)? What is the new structure of the SCT course like? Are there 3 terms; Foundation Term, Professional Term, & Combined-Arms Term? And how long is each term?

redfed91 SG

ya. scs is damn slack. found term is 2 months pro term is 3 months. comb term is 1 week

jojo_sinclair SG

so does that mean:-

Foundation Term aka BSLC: 8 wks
Professional Term aka Specialist Course: 12 wks
Combined Term: 1 wk

So, for those in other combat support arms, they would have to return to SCS for Combined Term for 1 wk, after completing their respective (Pro-Term)Specilaist Courses?

supremebull SG

Before this new SCS system was implemented, armour 3SGs had the longest training course, so how did they manage to fit that into 3 months? O.O

redfed91 SG

armour takes longer and will not be joining the rest for combined arms term haha

jgho83 SG

TS, if u are so worried about outfield thing, why bother going through all those trainings and obtain 3SG rank? U learned all the things in SISPEC so u can apply it in unit mah.

If u think your life is better once u got out of SISPEC, dont even think about it.

Unless, u downgrade PES status.

ditzy SG

So nowadays, right out of sispec, can get 3SG rank already? Wah so good ar? Last time, out of sispec is just corporal, then go unit, go course course course then get 3SG rank, then the real hell begins.

No one seems to have answered my question above. Could someone please verify the duration of each term of the courses at SCS ?
Especially, is Professional Term for 12 or 13 weeks?
For Combined-Arms Term, is it 1 week? Does it mean that all those who have complete Pro-Term from other Vocational Institutes, would return to SCS at Pasir Laba Camp for Combined-Arms Term of 1 week and POP from there???
