Cannot...because many rangers never uh ... maintain themselves.

Prestroz SG

I doubt so... NDU divers are only awarded with the diver badge upon their completion of course...

However, similar to the Commandos, regulars from NDU are given the chance to attend special overseas courses like US diver or special attachment to the Navy SEALs... thereafter, badges are awarded to them....

US Master Diver

SEALs special warfare trident

Ask you pple ah .. the budweiser is only given after the candidate finished his attachment in a SEAL unit and not immediately after the BUD/S course.

Does that mean our soldiers also need to stay in a SEAL unit like 6 months?

Haha .. take so long to get the budweiser .. might as well go for the shorter ranger course.

vIn.Warrior SG

seen a SPF STAR officer with airbone badge on his uniform.
wonder why.

specfore SG

Could be an ex -SAF chap. At one time, SPF also had their recruitment talks for STAR in SAF camps. Obviously in competition for headcount with SOF. But STAR was a bit more "selective". STAR was saying that they preferred ex-commando or guardsmen. Presumably because STAR had a shorter leadtime for conversion to being an operational trooper. To save time, they were looking for fitter and better trained guys.

So he could be an ex-SAF chap allowed to display his airborne wings. Or else, he was sent on a confidence course ( mountain climbing, airborne, diver etc) , which I heard can happen, during his tour in STAR.

LazerLordz SG

I believe so.And i've heard tales of those who were attached to SEAL units..rumoured to have followed them into battle as well.

Joshua1975 SG

that is if just nice a mission pop up before course end. tio tao piow oso not so chun.

"maybe" some join OPS during GW1 and GW2 but that is another story liao.

Joshua1975 SG

isn't it simple, they went for the course.

BAC was open to guys in blue after STAR form not long. till now guys in blue have gone not oni BAC, some "other course" are in as well. like rappelling instructor course in CTW.

Joshua1975 SG

just talk about the course on 010705 and now accident happen and SAF suspends heliborne rappelling training.

and it all had to do with CTW. geeeee... what kind of luck they having now?

killsardine SG

in my bac course there were STAR, NDU, infantry, bruneians and even NCC other than CDO inside, so its not strange alot of people have the airborne wings. but only CDO and NDU undergo the combat jump
