Commando officers take 2 routes: commando first, OR OCS first.
In general, the former route is SUPER difficult and produces super
super tough commando officers. the 2nd way is to take Commando
Conversion Course. 5 months after you commission.
OCS training is very very likely to be less xiong than commando
training.
agreed. but the OCS-first route is for ppl who were initially
selected to OCS for other army duties...and then they choose to
sign on as CDO officers. if not, usually CDO get their officers
from their own pool of CDOs who qualify for spec training, and from
there they choose the best handful of them to go OCS. their ocs is
conducted at safti. if i rmb correctly from wad i read in mindef,
they train with infantry in ocs. if u can tahan cdo training, ocs
training is peanuts. =)
i had an arti officer fren who commented tt in his batch, the
cdo officers were in a world of their own. they run damn fast, do
everything damn well...so ya lor.
