nanren4ever SG I was there in 2003, when the Naval training school was still there. We shared the base with NDU and 3rd transport. Now Naval training school in Changi, so left only NDU. I not sure if 3rd transport still there. If u tio NDU, i don't think u need to go through BMT, but ur training almost similar to the BMT one, since they need to train u again. Gd thing is, u will have No3(probably the best looking uniform besides No1) Bad thing is, get ready to go through many things, including the famed 'Hell Week'.
monoslayer SG my fren got into NDU even though he cant swim.. went through lots of sh!t but eventually OOC 1-2weeks b4 their “hell week” commence due to low water confidence..
maxer SG is naval divers training so siong meh?how abt compare 2 commandos? they also say their training v.siong wat..
DriftingGuy SG NDU has the toughest physical training in the whole SAF. I have seen commandos who cross train in NDU complain that they cannot handle the training... Or maybe the trainers purposely tekan the commandoes? And if you can go 5 days non-stop with only 8 hours (in total) of interrupted sleep then can liao
maxer SG then i rather in the commandos than the divers liao.the public onli noes the commandos no 1 toks abt divers.hehe..
gd4u SG Hehe, apart form the swimming letter, some pre-enlistees got a letter for Cdo selection ... hehe... they scared of NS deaths liao, isiz??

Gordonator SG there is a saying. a diver can become a commando. but a commando cannot guarantee he can become a diver.
NDU SG i just want to share something first of all, i belive and i dare to say.....alot of our guyz also feel the same lah.... but...we still respect those cdo! no joke, they also have to go through lots of sh.it. as for the public, most of them will be FOCUS more on them as.... no one really know the risks we have to undertake. in oversea, alot of ppl RECONGNISE us more then the local! still remember, during my time when we are involve in the NDP, and one of the guest (U.S Marine) was telling us, how come Singapore 1st guard was not from the Navy! and its from the Army? as.... ITS SUPPOSE to be the Navy that march in first! but.... in Singapore, its the other way round lor, Army alwyas got more man then us
chunyong SG fame and recognition is not important, most important is dat u can perform ur duties well when required....dats wat matters...everybody has a part to play...nobody is omnipotent...
