FYI,my bro is a PC from 2GDS went for ranger course back in the late 80s and he's a NSF.

i understand from him that most went for ranger are either from cdos or gds,regulars or nsf back then and they hate each other.

since you are so lau jiao,please confirm.

 

I'm just a chow private, only thing I confirm is my uniform no stripes. :D

My CO had both tabs. One tab wear left sleeve the other wear right sleeve. sibei satki.

 

i know of a damn sad story. SSG from Signals went Ranger course. Could have been Fmn SM now for all we know. During one certain exercise in ROC, was instructed (reported by Chief SO) to bring 1x Signals Rover up to a hill/knoll. Of course 2x omni directional antennas up. Rover chiong full speed. Rover struck powerlines dangling across road due to powerline pole having toppled over. Driver instant death. 1x operator instant concuss. Said SSD was VCOM was thrown out after rover smashed into side of the road (after hitting powerline) Miraculously never die on the spot. By this time, the rover was live (electrically). He tried to pull out the bodies out by himself. When he tried to pull out the 2nd body, the current chose to course through the SSG's body and exited to the ground via his right leg.

 

femur melted. pai kai for life. downgraded and seconded to become chief clerk. he still hang his no. 4 with all the decoration in the office. sometimes i see the no. 4 and look at me from a distance, i really admire his tenacity in life, to bite the bullet and move on with life.

 

i salute this Ranger.

Allow me as a ex CQMS of the School of commandos which conducts the ranger course to comment a bit...

base on the feedback i have heard in my 2 years there...

 

1) The SG course is much much much tougher in terms of the mental torture they have to go through...(Plenty of tekan...i couldnt imagine till i saw it... but back in 1998 & 1999)

2) The US version is more professional...

3) It takes alot of courage for the high ranking officers to strip their ranks for the duration of the course (About 2 months plus) 1 month in SG and 1.5 months in TH...

4) Many ppl fall out in the SG version but not the US version

 

Rumour has it that those sent for the US ranger course are normally high ranking officers who couldnt clear the local version...

But for a commando to progress and be appt holder, they need to complete the ranger course...

 

 

lol... then i might have seen you somewhere in camp before? haha

Dear NSFs, NSMen, MR and civilians of Singapore, please exercise some form of nation security on a public forum (which is accessible internationally). Just from this 6 page thread, names, photos, rank, position are already compromised. Edited by Untitled-Resident
