Is this possible?

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 was excellent as well. The enemy does pretty well in Flanking manuevers n grenading.

Not everyone gives a damn about using kids to fight a war.Just like uk...

SpecOps87 SG

Which intake doesn't matter...what matters is that the Corp is not slammed for no reason or provocation. Pardon the juniors whom are young and ignorant for thinking that being in NCC is like they are some SF of all the uniform groups, but really I was like that, but I grew out of it. The purpose of each organisation is different. Thus, whats the point for NSFs, Regulars etc.etc. to slam NCC? The Espirit De Corp is definitely showing, but pardon the young ones for being over-zealous as when one is overly passionate about something,it gets in their heads. So as for any NCC cadets reading this, honour the Corp, honour yourself and learn to be humble and swallow your ego.

In the Singapore Mutiny of 1915, boy scouts were called up to help while the army was at the front fighting rebels..............even the Sultan of Johor sent his private army to help.......

http://www.myfareast.org/SingaporeMemorials/SingaporeMutiny.html

"Boy Scouts rendered valuable service by taking over from the police and army the duties of dispatch riders, telephone operators and clerks"

This was in SINGAPORE......less than 100 years ago.....

all the rebels were then executed in public at OUTRAM road prison....15,000 people witnessed the event:

Dr Who SG

.......but no record of any 17 year old scout in the firing squad.......

maybe just take photo lah......

beavan SG

i don’t think it’s feasible at all. NCC kids aren’t trained soldiers.

Dr Who SG

feasible or not, it did happen in 1915…..scouts took over non combat duties of troops…

Shotgun SG

They sure sing louder than our trainees when they come down for their water-confidence course.

I remember being woken up by their singing early one morning. I was cursing and swearing at 35 trainees for being so loud den I realized... they don't sing so loud. I peer out the window and see those ugly green berets. LOL!

IMO, when the war goes bad, they will probably have plans to TRAIN them first. Think Hitler Jugend and how most of them wound up as "young" soldiers in the S.S.

In any case, if the war goes bad for us, we're gonna be doomed. NCC or no NCC won't make a fark of a difference.

Fatshort SG

more or less ur right, NCC boys did it for pride.

NSF did it to siam extras.

specialOps SG

In those days, there was no proper armed forces...the Brits could not be depended on, that's why males of all ages rose to the occasion.

Today, it is different already.

We have a very capable armed forces, not just with mere words, but with actual capabilities, tested and proven. Its impossible we'll ever have to use kids to fight.

To reiterate:
1. they are not trained, its impossible to integrate them
2. its impossible for them to fight in a modern war, they will all die.
3. The SAF is more than capable to not only defend, but is more than able to be on the offensive.
4. The thread started doesn't know what he's talking about, and he's just trying to stir shit.

SpecOps87 SG

Precisely...enough said in that line alone. Am glad that there's not much reaction from NCC cadets to the thread that will ultimately be use as fuel for flame.

crusader91 SG

Tested and proven??
Wake up!

tankfanatic SG

dude scout back then were no where close to our boy scout…those days they were as profesional as a regular soldier…in fact in some cases better…because its their way of life

Shotgun SG

No really. Even if we got the NCC to come in to satisfy non-combat roles, it won't make a difference if the war really went THAT bad.

I won't mind having them take over field duties such setting up A-frames for HQs though. Or even carrying Jerry Cans, kiwi-ing my boots etc.

No thank you, I'll clean my rifle myself. Laughing

Seth35 SG

Aiyah i've been in b4....But i seriously think its more of a National education thing....

Some sort of a train the young to be loyal to country and stuff....

But you guys cant just look down like that i feel....Last time i know one of my 2nd sergeant in NCC Or my Instructor in NS already made it past OCS...And hes goddamm Fit....Some made it into commando....Some guards

So you cant really judge a person from where he is...Whether NCC or NS...

chanjyj SG

Don’t say so much. Yesterday I was on the MRT, wearing my uniform. siglap sec malay NCC boys making a helluva ruckus on the MRT in front of foreigners-I so embarrased I take out my ICT security pass and put it on (I was wearing my No. 4 without my badges)

Pls la you cant judge by...An organization...Only individuals

Shotgun SG

Dude, just walk up to them, and tell them to behave themselves in uniform. Believe me, they'll shut up n guai guai listen one. Take a few names, and send an email to their school. They disgrace their schools and SAF by their actions.

crusader91 SG

What do you think of their combat efficiency?Since i heard they went for rifle shooting and saw them do some combat moves like camouflaging ther face and crawl across the grass patches.

chanjyj SG

Buddy, not out to flame anyone, but most of the NCC I see are like that. And what makes up an organisation are its... members yes?

I have not touched this hot topic in a while, but often I notice these kind of incidents happening all over the island, from all kinds of different schools.

I used to think it was the malays (I am not racist, so please forgive me for saying this; but the more I think of it, the more I realise the misbehaving ones are the malays?!) who were causing the trouble... until I saw that the chinese also do the same.. then the indians.

Then I looked at the schools. I thought maybe it is the SCHOOL CULTURE. Nada. seems like every school is the same. What can I say?

chanjyj SG

I am not so sure they will.. later they say "who the hell are you to tell us to keep quiet?" then I also have no authority right? (Kids are like that nowadays)... I'd rather disassociate myself with them.

I notice then when you wear more badges and look like christmas tree, people tend to listen more. But I have the feeling that EVEN if I wear my CPT rank+IPPT Gold+Ranger+JCC+SG Airborne+CSB+Thai Airborne nobody would give a damn.
