Unidentified 1st 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. i had one of my last reservist courses with nsf guards in recent years like abt 4 years back.they seems like getting very sloppy.now still can consider elite ah?

Unidentified 1st Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 Amphibious beachheads are still a thing of the present. OTH assaults are still very much on the cards. However large scale static line jumps are probably out. OTH assaults are like pushing people out to get gunned down by MGs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerano 1st Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 OTH assaults are like pushing people out to get gunned down by MGs. No la. The USMC was pushing the EFV previously but that has been cancelled. Now they are focusing on LCAC transports and they can push Abrams out so easily. Plus of course they have the V-22 Ospreys being operational and F-35B STOVLs coming online soon. All of these will help temper the resolve of the enemy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshok 1st Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 Confirmed bro. One of the NSF PC from my company went and completed the ranger course. It was back in 2002. Arther issit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshok 1st Gear December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 Have u taken both courses before ? Or taken the Singapore ranger course ? heya. from what i've heard from my bde encik who was MWO Cdo and another friend who is currently in the SOF, the local ranger course is more physically demanding as compared to the US ranger course but the US ranger course is more mentally demanding as compared to the local one. both has its tough parts, so you cannot just say local one is lousy. but my SOF friend said, when they go for overseas courses ( like these kind of courses), the singapore guys are under a lot of pressure to out perform the ang mos in certain areas ( ie physical fitness etc etc) cos if not, the ang mos will look down on you. But one thing i must say, all these SOF guys i know, they are not big size, twa jiak. They are very lean and " normal" looking, not like super hunky hunky with big muscles. Cheers!

Sosaria Twincharged December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 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. Meat? Later in life get heart attack! Maybe, genetically we're not suited to eating too much meat... Anyway, OT a bit, shaolin monk don't eat meat, but still good fighter!

I am not saying the shaolin monk do but if you stew the bones and the meat over a slow fire for a loooooooooooooooooong time, the meat is not nutritious anymore.
