Saf4life SG

hi all, i will be in infantry OCC soon, i wld like to check, is the JCC incorporated into the course? if nt, is it possible for one to volunteer? or is it like they only choose certain ppl to go for it?

thanks.

BrUtUs SG

last time b4 i ord i heard jcc is added to the course(full)... not sure abt conversion...

AlphaWhiskey02 SG

yes. JCC is nicorporated as part of the infantry OCC. Are you a regular? if not, are you going into Pro-term? if you are just entering into OCS, you will not know if you will be an infantry officer. The basic training is infantry just like in bmt but end of service term you may be assigned to support arms. Support arms go does jungle training too but not JCC.

eac SG

err.. when i was in ns, i heard that JCC is phrased out, in place is what CSB (combat skil badge). one of my friends is the last batch of officers commissioned with 2 badges - jcc n csb.

Saf4life SG

JCC - jungle survivial and topography in Brunei. I'm told you're only given a day's worth of ration, and the topo is not easy as you can get lost in the thick brunei jungles.

CSB - Proficiency test on infanteer skills - weapon assembly and stripping, topo, signal setup, river crossing, marksmanship, etc.. all these while doing a 32km route march. Details are a little hazy since i've not been for csb

The weapons assembly and stripping have been shifted out of the 32km march, now you do all your technical skills with the various weapons and signals beforehand, as well as clear a 8km fast march in SBO and 10km run, before your 32km route march, which is just 24km, then a river crossing, then 8 km. Immediately after that, you go for 100m range, where you have to hit 6 out of 10 targets foxhole supported. If the conducting/supervising is nice, you get to change clothes after the river crossing :) if not then suck thumb.

This CQB is only allowed for spec n officers?
