in my opinion, for those who wanna go command sch (read: OCS,
SISPEC) I think scouts is a good bet.
they do knots in much detail (more than NPCC) and since SIT test is
a major component in choosing leaders, they have an advantage.
Having a scout in your SIT test grp means you can confirm complete
50% of yr missions, unless you got an incompetent scout.
Scouts also do marches, even overnight hikes. This is a good prep
for NS route marches.
All UGs do drills, and i think NPCC does the most drills, unless
perhaps, you're in some very on Military Band.
NCC's advantage is that they know how to wear No.4, some basic IFC,
some knowledge of SAF, some basic M-16 range (25m and 100m)
NPCC and Scouts do have outfield camps, NPCC in Ubin and Scouts in
Sarimbun(?) i think. And with outfield you get used to being
amongst the weeds, the creepy crawlies..hahaha
I think all 3 UGs do first aid so that's not a big problem.
I still feel scouts have a big big advantage...haha..
