firstly u must able to tahan the 16 kg and go for route marches

the fire-trench digging is no kidding...
after that must cover up with camou net and iron picket

most shiok is the live-firing...u feel like 34733454352065 ants biting your back in that split second

good luck and have fun!

SIW not bad one Smile

Archtomato SG

Fatum SG

kengkia SG

this stupid piece of scrap metal exist only to tekan people like me for two yrs....when will it ever get phrased out....this bloody ancient weapon... Evil or Very Mad

Shotgun SG

Its an antique piece of shit. Can’t they just give the PDF formations the Milans instead?

The latest version of this 84mm operated by other western countries is much lighter than the one used by SAF.

kengkia SG

ironic rite?....we singaporean smaller size than ang mohs and yet we carrying a much heavier 84mm.... Mad

maggot SG

Go try the air burst round on dummy personnel targets Laughing

thoreldan SG

that's why we need a heavier version to absorb the impact when firing

that's what my instuctor told me last time

BeEtHoVeN SG

from a SIW instructor, M3 is almost half the weight of M2( the one we are using), the reason why SAF din upgrade to M3 is that performance-wise, it is the same as M2 as well as M3 is more fragile, requiring more care in handling, which is bad for a conscript army.

No more digging for the course, live firing will be the best experience you will ever get from NS, it costs a few k everytime u fire 1 round Laughing

Archtomato SG

No digging sounds good. real good.

thoreldan SG

of course man!

last time for my course:
morning start digging, then halfway thru go for fighting patrol (yes,a section of 84mms)
patrol finish liao, come back continue to dig

dig until we feel like burying up the instructors Laughing

but was quite fun ...all fellows 3SG from the same unit + 2 LTA (one taking over as the 84mm course PC, another to be a 84mm trainer in OCS)

whenever the SSG trainer want to come and fark us, the 2 officer sure come and help us one

Archtomato SG

so whats the trg program like for the 2 weeks ...

BeEtHoVeN SG

for commanders' course, it sld be the best time of your life Laughing
8 o'clock till lunch (lecture or computer lesson or handling of 84mm)
lunch to 5pm (lecture or computer lesson or handling of 84mm)

there are too many canteen breaks in-between Mr. Green
after 5pm, nights-out till 2359 Razz

only have 4km route march, 1 outfield exercise and 1 live firing.
the worst is retrograde during the outfield exercise.
instructors are very friendly, helpful and willing to assist u in whatever problems u have.

Archtomato SG

looking forward to the live firing
