Record SOC and 2.4Km timing

jasonsamster SG

What are the record timings for SOC and 2.4km run in history of SAF?

eagle SG

I just know someone in my company did just below 8 minutes for SOC, and about the same timing for 2.4km

The record for SOC, I think, is held by a commando who is now a commando officer, and is someone who is working at BMT now. Timing I think was 7 mins...

best timing for soc i ever heard. timed at soc ground of bmtc 2, 5.55.

best timing for 2.4 i ever heard, sub 7.

When I was doing my BMT in 7BTS, my instructor once told our platoon that the CO then, LTC Lee Chong Kiat, a red beret, holds the SOC record for running a 5 mins ++ timing ... but i guess the record was broken by a PTI.

What is the world record for a 2.4km run?

frankchn SG

No record for 2.4 km exact coz no athletic competition got that item, but:

2000 m 4:44.79 Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)
3000 m 7:20.67 Daniel Komen (KEN)

So if we extrapolate, then technically a world-class athlete should be able to run 2.4 km in 5:44 or somewhere there.

alwaysdisturbed SG

huh? never heard of any pti that did 5 mins.

Ponders SG

i have heard record times before...

because PTI pressed the stopwatch earlier than he should.

My own record is :

SOC : 7.47
2.4k : 8.48

But that was a long long time ago when the webbing was the canvas type and the water bottles slap your butt every step you run. Also, for 2.4km, we ran with kungfu shoes.

HO SEI BO SG

Xcert SG

Is it a requirement to pass SOC?

sort of.They will still let U ORD even if U cannot pass SOC/IPPT...but while U are still in service...they can get U to come back for additional training...book out later than others...book in earlier than others...it basically sucks...so if U dun have any problems except unfit-ness...I suggest U make the effort to clear it.
