Gordonator SG Introducing the Sea Soldiers. No longer will they be known as RPs or army vocationists serving in a naval base, they are now officially known as a new vocation in the RSN. They are - infantry trained - basic shipmanship trained - little bit EOD trained - little bit CBRE trained - POI trained plus rules of engagements etc they are also getting $150 for combat pay too. check out the cover story in this month issue of pioneer for more info. for those without subscription, online version can be found here. http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/publications/cyberpioneer/features/2006/apr06_cs.html
