Running away and avoidance cannot solve the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged February 13, 2018 Share February 13, 2018 (edited) Your OC sabo you or they couldn't be bothered just randomly submit names which they are required to do. I was sent for special ops selection when I couldn't even run 2.4 under 11. Yeah, just went for excursion but quite interesting to learn about their "special training".Haha that reminds me during NS we have this fellow who is kind of living in his own world. He actually volunteered to the OC that he want to go for SOF selection course which was open during that time. Everyone was puzzle cos he failed IPPT and is kind of a whiner. Hardly SOF material. Needless to say he didn't even pass the pre-selection aptitude test and got booted out. Edited February 13, 2018 by Pocus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic February 13, 2018 Share February 13, 2018 Salary and benefits quite good in those days if can qualify.

People say phobia can be overcome if you continuously expose to it until you immune liao. Running away and avoidance cannot solve the problem. Talk of phobia... I was a combat engineer. After we passed our armour conversion course, got a platoon posted in to go through the course, and we were to be the NCOs in unit. During the arming of the live mine, at the site, one guy in the platoon when only practising dry runs on the blue dummies, he was shivering, perspiring and in tears... That was i think maybe 2-3 weeks into their 3-mth course. We see already very worried. Our PC (same batch) was very worried. The course commander was super worried. The safety officer and the supervising officer made the decision to pull him out from that 'exercise'. He said he had phobia of explosives... After a few days, he was posted out to become a medic. He was from good family. Stayed in landed near River Valley... Till now also dunno whether he was oscar winner, or really kanna posted wrongly to our platoon... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"your body is weak ... but your mind is not!" quite true for an anemic guy in my platoon - 16 single handed pull-ups in one minute !! I am even struggling with two with two hands ...I guess my mind is as weak as my flesh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was merely to state what happened to him, by now ~30 yr ago... And i do know how siong it is for combat medic - when we build minefield, we actually asked our medic to help us to carry barbed wire leh... That was when SAF from estab 7 men in a section (plus commander and 2ic), they wanted to try out 4-men section. TMD, not enough manpower, so we asked signaller, driver and medic all help out our medic was attached from another unit one... heard he later complained to his MO about having to help 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If test time and ask to declare casualty they can declare you as casualty that need iv drip. Hahaha Well maybe I was lucky. My mate never drag medic into the water. Signaled yes. They still need medic help when want to get MC. To be serious once medic put on his arm band he should never be in the front line all. Genvena convention say so...your medic new bird..tried asking me to put barwire..haha Edited February 13, 2018 by Kopites 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
