Sosaria Twincharged December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 I don't know what is the local course content, but it seems that the ang mohs always have "scaled up" things... maybe because of bigger physical build?? I don't think I can manage the kind of loads that they carry... then again, ang mohs always like to lug a lot of gear for battle, which is a weakness actually when it comes to jungle or insurgency type warfare. Not just their load is extra heavy, but the distances they cover also We go for 10 km run... they go for 10 mile run... big difference! Anyway when it comes to these kinds of courses, mental preparation is necessary but is overhyped. No matter how strong a person is, mentally, if he gets injured, there is no way can complete the course no matter if his mind still says okay!

Sosaria Twincharged December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 Thou i have never being involved in this type of training before (dont think i am physically qualified even for the selection phase), i must stress that what you saw on these type of TV program is not the true reflection of how the instructors takan the trainees as there is a camera following them. if the cameras are not there, i am very sure the treatment will be very different. Could be much worse than our local ranger instructors. Nevertheless, all over the world, I don't think there are things like physical abuse nowadays... too much scrutiny, and if something bad happens...

Vega Turbocharged December 9, 2011 Author Share December 9, 2011 Nevertheless, all over the world, I don't think there are things like physical abuse nowadays... too much scrutiny, and if something bad happens... I beg to differ. to be selected and trained to be super soldiers, its not going to be run of the mill type of training. i am sure there are stuffs can't be shown on TV. These selected group of soldiers won't want their selection and training to be too "easy" too. Else, it will not be "elite" anymore. I am sure some have died during the selection and training phase.

David Clutched December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 i believe this is only a discussion not a judgement. UNLESS you are better than them or at least near them. How to tell if they are local or US Ranger tab?? I am a army clerk, I respect the RP/Storeman/Cook bcos i am just a clerk! You have earned my respect for the above statement. I am going to print this, put it infront of me and remind myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelicious 3rd Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 I seen some of the USMC training videos. I believe it is as real as what they show, perhaps a bit more dramatised and "souped up" for TV. But I do wish that SAF incorporate some of the training into ours. Like jousting, hand combat... more gritty stuff like these. Soldiers now are much too soft. SAF should also change the food to include more meat. And give gym workout a bigger role in the training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcann 6th Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 (edited) US Rangers operate as a unit and normally deployed as shock troops machiam our Guards. They are lightly-armed and supposed to be air-dropped onto or amphi-assault a strategic location until the regular heavy forces arrive. Until then they often have to fight bitterly and resist the opposing forces with anything on their backs. Edited December 9, 2011 by Vulcann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acieed 1st Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 I've worked with a USMC veteran for several years. He doesn't eat a lot of meat or go to the gym. They are just genetically big, and Asians are and will always be smaller in build in comparison. It may take a few more generations to change that, and the climate may also have played a part.

Ghostrider 3rd Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 You have a local ranger tab ? Always easily said then done. You would be surprised the US ranger course is not the toughest around. Every ranger wearing the tab earns my respect. Including NPark's Park "RANGER" ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gym is a culture in the US army, a lot of their special forces guys workout regularly. Obviously, there are those who do not, and I guess your friend is one of those. As for meat eating, it's also an american thing i guess, and importantly, something that I think is very lacking in our SFI food. Meat should form a large part of our diet, asians or americans.

Their C17s ah Nowadays I think boots on the ground will be the last thing the US military deploy maybe to just roughen and round up shell-shocked locals after the air package does their damage. Even scenes of almighty 82nd paratroopers all over the sky jumping into battlefield or gungho MEF marines doing a amphibious assault up a hostile beach will be a thing of the past... Eventually it will just AI vs AI scenarios and this will not even need human intervention. We may all end up like fat blobs on wheelchairs with under-developed limbs machiam those depicted in the movie Wall-E. That will be the day....

OTH assaults are still very much on the cards. However large scale static line jumps are probably out. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
