Hubwee Supercharged December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 I was unlucky but not that suay... BMT with BTS, then to 30SCE. FESC at SOCE though, walked over to 30 to report. You also engineer? Yup , BMT at SOCE then straight to 30 SCE , Delta after POP . Still remember posting day when everyone was hoping to go 35 but almost all ended up at 30 . ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 (edited) Haha I also claimed credit as "engineer": reservist in a boat coy of 35* at Seletar Camp Also patronised Ah Hoe's stall during my time there. Quite a few bros from there based on the posts in this thread. You must have been their lifeguard. 30 sce is really shit la. They must have been the last unit in SG using foam mattresses when everyone upgraded to spring. Edited December 24, 2015 by Kusje Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did... 9 wk safincos get one stripe; 5 mth basic engr nco course got second stripe; 3 mth armour (pioneer commander) conversion, plus 3 more mth trained the platoon we were going to lead = 1 yr 5 mth on many siong courses and just a CPL. Spent less than 1 yr in unit before disrupting for studies... AI not really v siong, c.f. to normal infantry, becos got M113 to sit. As AP (armoured pioneer), we were AI-trained, and were told that we will fight as AI in the event when there's no AI left... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
