Companies in School 1 & 2

Gordonator SG

they should elimate the PES C recourse a long time ago! all those PES C people served 2 years in their unit doing service vocation, slacking, waiting for ORD, must still go back tekong chong suah. don't make sense at all.

chikopek SG

Sorry for my ignorance Embarassed

chikopek SG

I agree with you. PES C recourse is just wasting the trainees' time especially for those C9 personnels.

kopiosatu SG

siong depends on management, not the company name Mr. Green

kopiosatu SG

i was from obese company... most get the idea that its less siong.

think logically, a fat guy probably weighs 90-100kg

now, get those skinny guys to run with that weight. tell me who is suffering?

LoBa-LoBa SG

i will be enlisting 1/10 school 2s enhanced bmt, heard from my fren most likely will be Leopard, how is the company huh? any advices?

kopiosatu SG

advice? do what most ppl do, go through it and stop whining.

as a recruit:

open your eyes.

experience it.

listen to higher rank.

watching tv now, lazy to add more

nww16 SG

last time my army days is 100% worse den these obese go thru leh... Neutral

kopiosatu SG

you won't know till u were as fat as them

Gordonator SG

ah, but management is controlled by the OC of the company... Wink
and the OC is definately a regular who will be there for years.
so if OC is garang, the company will be siong for batches to comes... Cool

kopiosatu SG

yeah but we won't know who's managing what unless the info comes from inside?

who knows that OC might get posted somewhere else, or moved to another company?

Gordonator SG

ya, and they are excuse from a lot of things. sgts cannot tekan them, 5BX can only do half squat and heel raise. cannot run, cannot do SOC, excuse field camp etc etc...

like that how to train them~~! Shocked

VivId CrItiQuE SG

u might as well not say anything. what u've juz said doesn't help enlistees in any way.

kopiosatu SG

then define what is help?

kopiosatu SG

anyway, from your reply. you’re not learning from what i said. good luck to you.

LazerLordz SG

I beg to differ..Why do you want to tekan them?I'm a PES C9 recourse personnel and I'm a Specialist, and those who are not , are also vocationally trained and are experienced soldiers.A tekan session is pointless and IMHO,its a waste of time disrupting our work in our unit to make us go back to Tekong and do some wayang show.You think we are recruits for tekan fodder, dream on.Most of us have served longer than half of the instructors who will take our batch.We usually have mutual respect for each other's vocation.You're an Infantry Leader, so I might defer to you in terms of Infantry knowledge.I'm an Armament Specialist, so if you ask me for advice regarding your weapon system, you should respect my judgement.What I'm saying is that since we are not combat-fit anymore, why bother to put us through a course that is wayang in nature and will never be of any use since we are not geared for any advanced combat course after BMT.If you hvae a vocation, you should be deemed fit to be a soldier in your own expertise already.

baer SG

agreed. most OC at ITD when was there (1985-87) were 'between jobs' being a regular you served 2 years active unit, 2 years school (includes BCTC, SISPEC, Service school and NService Training Centres), 2 years higher formation (as understudy like 2IC etc) or various combinations of this sequence.

2 years in active unit as appointment holder is where you earn stripes, understudy is more like what it says to see if you can move up next. School posting is seen as distraction by most if not. This may not be true for all but has been expressed (off the record) by many regulars.

Pioneer Batch of Mamba coy (Dec 1985) OC was there only for first batch, was posted out asap back to staff command position as was on fast track.

kY|e-_-o SG

new info...

school 2 most shiong... - Mohawk and Pegasus...
Taurus no longer shiong already...
Wink

VivId CrItiQuE SG

how bout school 1?? i 29sep enlist, u all think most prob which company?

chikopek SG

It should be either A, B,C, H or J as days before 29 Sep the batches in the 5 companies is POP-ed.

Not possible to be in E, G and J coy as they have just started their obese BMT (in fact, they are still in the confinement period)

As for D and F coy, I think that this 2 coys will be reserved for PES C recourses.....

I can tell you that A coy will be quite siong as they want to groom the recruits to be a commander, furthermore the annex (recreation) room seldoms open according to my friends there.

But I have heard that C coy is much slacker Laughing Everynight annex room open one. B coy is also quite relax as they have their last parade at 1800hours compared to A coy in which they had their last parade as late as 2200hours (depends on the sergeant's mood) Wink
