cat_god SG Is there a high chance of being man in the unit you are direct;y enlisted to? Lets say I got mono-intake and enlist into Singapore Armoured Regiment, after the BMT can I go to SISPEC and be a specialist in commando? Or will I remain in there and be a man?
thoreldan SG u'd be a man for the next 2 year if u're selected for commandos, u'd be enlisted in their mono-intakes
sidestep1984 SG it depends on potential.... got a fren...mono intake..end up going to sispec after bmt..and became a 3rd sergeant and signing on......now...25...already a 1st sergeant... it all depends on ure potential.. u work for it...superiors will see...they will vouch for u and help u advance... that is if u are up to it
LazerLordz SG Most mono-intake batches take in those destined for “Man” vocations due to their education level, though it is not totally made up of enlistees of the same qualifications.
sidestep1984 SG just saying that there are certain instances…thats all…..its all up to the superiors u noe….
Gordonator SG let's put it this way, mon-intake posted to a unit 1st then start BMT. BMTC start BMT 1st then posted to unit. BMTC is also usually where they choose who go OCS who go SISPEC.
cat_god SG Okay, so there is a chance where after an interview, I state that I want to sign on as a commando or scouts specialist, will they consider it? Provided I have excellent performance in BMT
WrX_STi SG u get into sispec is not to be a spec in cdo but a spec in infantry. if u wanna get into cdo, u haf to convert from infantry to cdo. den go thru CSLC to becm a spec in cdo.
cat_god SG Got it... so it's like a long way to CDO... Is scouts part of Infantry? I would consider being in scouts, exciting...
wuming78 SG infantry, guards, commando are combat arms. a scout is a vocation, just like a signaller, a storeman, etc. there are scouts in a guards and even cdo unit too (rite?)
Moxie SG I recommend this website for more details on local infantry scouts: http://courses.nus.edu.sg/course/socsja/rice/royphang/index.htm Browse through its various links as well. P.S. You'll supposed to be a CPL to be a basic recon trooper.
