NaZtAzi0 SG

i would like to know whats the 3 months training like? Smile i know it consist of 10 KM SOC... what else ah? 1.5 km coastal swim?

Gordonator SG

quivalen SG

last time the timeline was like this

bmt - 3 mths
bct - 3 mths
cslc - 3mths
bac mod 1 - 2, 3 weeks
ocs - 9? mths

so yeah, almost 2 years.

but they've recently changed the sequence of courses and all. i hear bac is straight after bmt now or something like that. anyone currently serving who can elaborate?

quivalen SG

everyone has to do the swim eventually anyway - take the cslc one as practice. =p

hmsg SG

no lah... after bac mod then go to professional term in ocs... passing out as 2LT after about 1yr3m... then go for cocc for 3 mths... before becoming p2ic....

Gordonator SG

u will be surprised sometimes a NSF CDO 2LT has more badges than even a regular. airborne, JCC and combat skills, plus ippt gold, maybe even marksman.

hmsg SG

of coz, plus the foreign wings when jumping overseas.

some even got to go for skydiving and diving confidence courses...

quivalen SG

go straight to pro term meh?
not so sure about that one.

but cocc is only 1 month.

hmsg SG

yes, that was the norm 12 yrs ago....

Gedanken SG

IIRC, it took 21 months to make 2LT - 12 months for the beret and 9 months in OCS.

I believe Warrant Jessepaul Singh is no longer at SOCT, but generations of leaders will probably remember his booming, "GOOD MORNING GENTLEMEN - TODAY'S LESSON IS ... DROWNPROOFING". Mr. Green
