Me already completed 3 high keys for my ICT ... year end going for ATEC 1 and in next year Nov, going to Ex. Wallaby for ATEC 2.

When I ORD in 1995, the SAF closes 'Fei-Foong-San' aka Jennifer the CB garden in TVMA for only driving practices ...

Pauline is the best knoll to do a company mounted assault .. the slope is just wide enough to accomodate a tag-team of 3 M113s and 2 tanks ...

Kind of miss those days training in TVMA as combat team.

Once Armour Always Armour !

RuffRider SG

Whao, u all still remember so much. Once i left the camp, Everything went also. And i ‘ve only been gone for 2 yrs. Seriously, does anyone really care if his unit was hte best or worst? Cos if u did, shouldn;t u be a regular. Cos i’ve seen more slack regulars then this.

kops21 SG

Once Armour Always Armour. Cool

U r only 2 years after ORD, wait until you are 2 years left on your ICT cycle. U will appreciate more... Wink

As for regulars, hmmm....not my cup of tea... not giving up all those beautiful things in life over some green trees.. Wink

ATEC now got part 1 and 2 liao .... just heard from the trainers in ATC while doing my low key in June.

ATEC 1 will focus on individual tropper assessment, i.e. ATEC assessor will test each tropper knowledge in his own field ... eg. M203 gunner will be ask what is the effective range for area target and what will the vehicle commander immediate action when encounter arty bomberment ... all is like going back to the old days during trade course.

ATEC 2 will be focusing in the battle field where the ABG is tested on the fighting tactics of SAF, i.e. Attack, Advance, Defence and Delay.

The current CO of ATEC is COL Tan Kah Thiam, he is formerly the CO of 42SAR back in 1993-1996 mono intake. As he is from Armour, we will have a hard time to go through the motion.

kops21 SG

Last ATEC for me was 2 or 3 years ago. During that time, ATEC 1 & 2 is lump together. ATEC is very siong, but very interesting too. Instead of fighting with target boards, this is for real..... Wink

I had been an ATEC empire b4, very interesting experience.

COL Tan Kah Thiam, hmmm...yeah... my CO and S3 during 42 days, ROD June 1993. Don't need to go through motion, the hype for ATEC, will make everyone very "ON" ... Razz Don't worry about COL Tan being CO of ATEC, the most important person that determine how tough your ATEC will be the OC for the Aggressor Coy. I know how ATEC is being plan/execute. OC is THE person that either give you HELL or Paradise.

Mr. Green

Cpl Ho SG

First, thanx for starting the armour thread... Smile

Yep... now ATEC got two component... to put in simply, component 1 is done in camp and it test the men more, component 2 is test in outfield and it test the commanders more... Component 2 is like the old kind of ATEC, the big change is component 1... Apparently, they think corporals like me are too lobo during ATEC and they want every soldier to be a 'thinking' soldier now... Razz

Armour Trooper report for duty SIR!!!

1 more high key and 2 more BITS to go then ROD loh!!!

Enlisted in '92 and ORD in '95, 40 SAR 2nd mono-intake.......

CO Maj Lawrence Chua, (Now think BG liao)
OC CPT Ong Bang Seng, (Now LTC in USA with the Apache attachment)
RSM 1WO Goh Siew Boey, TERROR RSM (Now SWO, think is Army RSM)
CSM SSG Mohan, (Now 2WO at SOA)

Unit Achievement
Best Armour Unit
Golden Boot (42km Route March)
2nd best combat unit (lost to CDO by less than 0.5%)

Sadly only been to 2 oversea exercises, Ex Wallaby '93 and Brunei '94 (for infantry role)

One of the most memorable exercise was with the CDO. We were supposed to laggar at a location and the CDO was to conduct recon/intel on us..... for whatever reason, the whole squad strayed into our arc of fire......just 10m from our vechicle, we cocked out MG. Looking at them freezing on the spot through NVG is quite comical. Laughing

Think they must have kena jia liat jia lat after the exercise.... Mr. Green

I was also appointed as ATEC umpire for 432SAR ATEC in Thailand in 2001. Basically, the men from 432SAR is fighting the weather which is at a grouching 45ºC on average rather than those enemy objectives.

I was posted to 42SAR as an instructor to train the new intake after the batch ROD in June 1993. Life was not so easy for the men as my OC(CPT Tay) and CSM(WO2 Richard Lee) in Jaguar are all siao-on type. Later on I was posted to 41SAR to train another batch of new intake. Lagi worst in 41SAR, CO Major Wong Kah Koon was another siao-on leader ... he will not hesitate to reprimand the OC in front of the men.

kops21 SG

I was appointed as ATEC aggressor coy umpire for 40/41 SAR in Wallaby sometime around 2000 i think. CO for that SAR is A D Se***, my OC jaguar for 42 SAR. Damn Conincident. Following the Aggressor is no easy life, have to chiong hills with them with the radio set...suck !!!!!

9933, i am the batch that ROD in June 1993. Pl 3, Jaguar. That means we are same coy different era...hehe... Richard...damn useless in the eyes of my batch...make so much noise. He is very scare of me, especially unarmed combat lesson. Ask him to go one-one with me on sparing, sneak away like mice. Me TKD (Black belt), he run dunno where.... Cool

Last patch of Officers are more bian tian compare to Richard and Tay... Mad

kops21 SG

Thanks for reporting for duty Trooper kia(slywong).

Yr no. of ICT also similar to mine ...2 BITs left....

If we have enough AI/TK around, we can do a mounted assult(Makan) Session.... Wink

Mr. Green

Cpl Ho SG

Hello, qian bei... You must be one of the guys walking out of Keat Hong camp as i was marching in... Smile

I'm 40 SAR 3rd mono-intake... Mohan is 2WO now? So the rumour that he was condemned for beating up his OC is fake lah... Surprised

Haha... So much for the elite Commandos... You guys did us proud man... Laughing

flash9933 SG

I was posted to 40SAR in 1995 with 5 months left before ORD to train the A-Level intake. The CO then was Major Bernard Tan, a President and SAF Oversea Scholar, now became Chief Armour Officer. I met Goh Seow Boey in Thailand 2001 when he is already a SWO .... heard that he was the RSM of one of the NDP .. and those who accomplished NDP without screw-up would normally become SWO in his course of career.

Encik Mohan was one of those I admire in terms of professionalism. His command in the parade square is one of those gilat one. Heard that he was once a WO but kana demoted bcos he whacked his OC in his previous appointment. THat time, RSM of 40SAR was 1WO Tan KC (now MWO), now I think is the Formation RSM taking over SWO Chandran Nair.

flash9933 SG

So you are from the 1995-1997 intake from 40SAR? now 433SAR?

Cpl Ho SG

Shit man... like that you may have 'tekan' me before... Mad haha...

Talking about Bernard Tan, he's my friend's brother's classmate in NUS... okay lah... a bit far... Razz But during one of the inter-unit games day, he joined us to play touch rugby against 46 SAR... but problem he's not very good... So after the match, i told my teammates that Bernard Tan is lousy without realising he was behind me then... Confused

Weeks later, my CSM came up to me and said, 'Ho, you very brave hoh...'
I said, 'why sir?'
CSM: 'CO you also dare to say lousy ah...'

Apparently all the officers and WOs were all around when I said the remark and they all heard!! Shocked Guess he was magnanimous and did not hold it against me... Very Happy

Yep... now 433 SAR...

gonegoose SG

are names and appts allowed to mentioned here? I have no idea… so i’m gonna be a little vague. Anyway, Someone mentioned CPT Ong Ban Seng being posted to US? Is this the same fella who was ex-Comd ATC?
