kops21 SG Ah Boon har...he is my ATC pl instructor. Very nice guy indeed. Quite enjoy his accompany during ITC. Thinking back, i have not seem him in ATC during my last 2 trips back to ATC.
kops21 SG Those that have signed in(or comment) in this thread for the first time, will appreciate if you can give a short sitrep of yourself first. This will make the threads more meaning. If more than enough AI/TK around, i might make a "In front of veh fall in" drill in Visio.
othello SG CPL QUEK reporting !!! 95 - 97 40 SAR, now wif 433 !!! hi all, surprised to find such a thread here
flash9933 SG If I'm not wrong, 2WO Chit should be with SOA now. Talking about him, he is a humble man. When he was the CSM in 41SAR, I din see him "F" his recruits and men at all. He is quite a fatherly figure towards the men and always believe in passive way to train his men.
kops21 SG It is okay, i will guide you along with some diagrams in the future. Anyway we need a driver to complete the drill...sometime like we need a goalkeeper in a soccer team....
flash9933 SG What is your role during ICT? I was a section commander, trainer and before ORD, was CUB VC ... reservist now got a relax post ... 84mm RR commander .. basically an enemy OIC for almost every ICT so far .. haha !!
kops21 SG SC/VC/PL SGT in the last few ICT/BIT Good for U, 84mm comd. I also part-time 84 comd b4 ROD. I cum so many postitions, cannot remember leow lah...except being enemy sitting behind the lone tree on the top of that highest hill...
skyfire SG Yap...nice to see another 41 brother here For 2SG Neo's case, you refering to the tank overturn case ? Sad case, he is quite a nice guy but think we left already when it happens.
kops21 SG Is Neo an AI convert to TK? I believe he signed on after O Level for those Earn-As-You-Learn-Scheme.
skyfire SG Not too sure about that. He's not my Plt Sgt. But i did know a few other Plt Sgt that are on that Earn-As-You-Learn-Scheme and I believe most have already left the service liao.
flash9933 SG They were indeed sign-on under the "Lear As You Earn" scheme. The Plt Sgts at 41SAR that time are cross trained in AI and Tank ... before I joined 41SAR in 1994, the previous mono-intake was a tank battalion under MAJ Varma.
flash9933 SG Actually I'm not the 41SAR intake. I was trained as roving team an insturctor thru out my 2.5 years of NSF. I was posted to 41SAR for trade course in Aug 1993 after my BMT. That was really hell under Dine Swee that time. After completed my section leader courses in SAFTI and SOA, posted back to take recruits till 41SAR turned operational.
kops21 SG All those Learn-as-You Earn Specialists(10+) are from my patch of ADSL. I can sense that my fellow coursemates have tekan you or someone else in the forum. Neo and Dine slept next bunk of mine during the course days. Neo was a fun guy to be with, still remember the days when we got together for talk co%# sessions, he passed away after i had ROD. Dine is a strange person, maybe bcos of his family's army background. Later he ended up in DB, "drag" one of my friend down as well. In fact a few fellow specialista(same course) got term in DB, make me think, why have those specialists done wrong to deserve this? I agree that most of thos LAYE specialists have came out of the Army, but a handful still remains. Those that stayed are mostly WO leow....
