Thaiyotakamli Supersonic October 13, 2014 Share October 13, 2014 Precisely!! [thumbsup] In fact apparently at one point RSAF many years back had the same thought: use the aging A4 Skyhawds to wear the enemy air force down in the initial phase of battle! And send some laoya pilots haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolad 5th Gear October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 PLA look good on outside only lah... 24x7 military channel boosting their capability... no wonder end up with bloated ego... Mr Xi knows its far from the truth.. corruption is so rampant that its part of everyday life in China... so u think Chinese military very kilat?... so many cases of embezzlement by senior commanders.. recent case.. 1 general channels military funds to build own bungalow... its rotten inside out..."guanxi" gets their children into high military posts.. these will be the bane of them all... their grunts' quality maybe better... The sad case of military prowess or effectiveness is to be constantly engaged... Look at Israel and US... their combat units are constantly in-actions... no short cut to tat... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Turbocharged October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 During NS, we were trained to run with heels striking strides. Penalised if caught not landing on heels during training. Look around us, how many walk with a slight limp? . We become casualties without any war. This CO of ours is a very typical paper general. A scholar that work in mindef looking at spreadsheet most of the time. Not train with our ops methods and drop in to lead us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my BMT section commander CPL demo-ed this.... This remind me of my BMT time in 1976.... After a heavy downpour, CPL do a demo of grenade attack by shouting 'grenade' and all have to take cover by taking prone position. The CPL did it on a dryer piece of grass and was fark by the officer..... The officer then demo himself by throw himself into a pool of water. He said when grenade attack, no time to choose where to prone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youth92 2nd Gear October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 I dunno if you have been to Saiyok Camp but hearsay some of the LRRP Rangers are pretty tough nuts having deployed along their border with Cambodia and Myanmar region. We can't generalise a group to represent the country. And btw, I have been to Saiyok and see their ordinary soldiers as well as rangers. To me, their physical attributes are better than us. Technology and experience wise, may not be the case. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lady instructor was Malay and quite big sized right? I heard she was quite tough. I never went through BCTC - was a neighbouring unit and sometimes we'd talk c0ck at the canteen at the old BCTC location along Pasir Laba Road. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
