Heads up from the P-032 batch(current).

For future medics to-be, god bless you. Why? Currently the new course commander 2WO Tan Puay Ming decided to revamp the curriculum starting from P-033 batch onwards.

Changes from current system(Tentative, from what I heard from my SGTs)
-Running 2-8km on every even/odd days of the week
-1 hour static training session per day
-Eventual 24km Route March
-Field camp
-Drawing of rifles everyday during Combat Phase(Fall in 5AM)
-Everyday night training(Till 9+++PM)
-Outfield at Mandai when needed

Hope this will help future medics-to-be prepare themselves mentally.

woah! sounds shiok hahahha.

Tan Puay Ming? isant he a "high" flying wospec, aiya, this ppl like this one, will "promise" alot of things...somemore now CARMO, CMC all new one, he will say things like this to make it sound garang....then when it comes, all this things will magically dissappear...

or maybe all the SM feedback recent batchs are all F**k up and MWO LSH(you know you know, you don't know, better not know) decide that combat medic course need to be "revamped" haha....

thelousy SG

Yup, he's the high flying one. 2WO at the age of 31. Actually, a lot of the current instructors don't really like him. Even the CO SMTI forced him to give us off on friday. His was so pissed off that he made us do alot of shit this whole week.

And can say quite slack la, cause he came in late into my batch, he cannot change the training programme(thank god!). Other then the screwed up stuff of his, its been quite slack. =D =D

EXCO SG

I’m also in the current P032 batch. I choose not to get personal with mentioning or “arrowing” our commanders, but there certainly are a lot of changes with the course, which got a lot of us thinking on the purpose behind such “drastic” changes.

thelousy SG

My platoon thinks all these changes is just another way to get promoted fast. Sad for us all actually.

Rockhound SG

its a good change uh...seeing the 3 batches of different medics i received during NS...i still preferred my Mono medics as they are more hardy.....the newer ones had slight trouble coping with the challenges of being an infantry unit medic..especially those attached to the Rifle Coys

GhostZM SG

YES! The future Combat Medic Course will evolve into what thelousy has posted.

So good luck to all the poor souls who are gonna be posted to SMTI to attend the course..I feel so sad for you all Crying or Very sad

In case you're wondering, I'm from P032 batch and I got posted to an 8 to 5 unit..hehehehehehe Very Happy

CheerS!!! Wink

thelousy SG

The most ironic thing is the course commander for the new batch was my brigade’s former senior medic. He’s like a legend over here la.

Rockhound SG

i find hard training good uh..the old medic courses...very slack...come combat unit..suffer..

Illegal Operation SG

What are the chances that an NS men, halfway through his 10 years cycle, absolutely no medic experience, suddenly get posted to train at SMM?

WP_ SG

Hi

I've been posted as a combat medic. Is the new medic course going to be that siong? Now i'm still under status which is excuse RMJ and MO had recommend me for non combat vocation, is there anyway i can get out from combat medic?

Also do the medic need to go outfield with the company and also do soc with FBO and stretcher? I heard medic need to do whatever the company does.

Illegal Operation SG

What was that NSmen doing in the army previously?

eac SG

during the pc interview within the first few days, (same as in bmt).... tell him/her abt ur pending downgrade status...

dun worry abt medic in unit life.... just wait for ur pending downgrade outcome, get that downgrade letter from the medical centre and show to the pc.

WP_ SG

Thanks for the advice! I’ve been so worried since i received this posting and i don’t know what to do.
