I don't believe that, after the last dunking case, and with so many lau chow give the "goodbye handshake"

it is no longer as it was before. One with no will power to survive, no survival instincts will never make it thru the course,

also, NSF were never allowed into the course in the first place, it strictly was "Serve And Farkoff"

BTW SOF and Regulars go TOGETHER for the course, there is no separate preference, SOF get this, regulars get that.

 

My memories are all based on a decade back...

i too believe that with the many incidents the past few years...

they have toned down alot...

They already did. It's NOT on PAR to what it used to be before.

Also the influx of "other" units going in, the mentality is far different then before,

and the "unit" persay has dropped it's selections standards by a great deal.

Ranger training

 

The Singapore Armed Forces Ranger Course is reputed to be the toughest course in the SAF, with 65 days of intense training conducted by the CTW. Initially developed based on the experiences of Singaporean Rangers trained at the US Army Rangers School in Fort Benning, United States, it was first conducted in Singapore in 1978, and is now an annual affair at the training wing's Hendon Camp base. Any regular or national serviceman of the SAF may apply for the course, so long that they have attained a minimum rank of Corporal, after which applicants are assessed physically to ensure suitability. Commando regulars are strongly encouraged to enroll.

Ranger course is 60 days iirc. Last time my encik from CDO went. Passed on 2nd try. During course buay tahan, cry during some point in time. I think it is during the interrogation/POW phase. Don't think it is friendly to reveal too much here. Info is SIC only.

 

I recommend reading this book called One Bullet Away by Cpt. Nathaniel Fick from the USMC.

 

In it he details the SERE school treatments on how they mindfk u seriously.

 

To give you a few examples, they put you in a real scenario where you are a pilot that has been shot down in enemy territory and you have to be at XXX,XXX which is a safe house.

 

Then they set people on you for miles.

 

However after travelling tens of Kms to the safe house, you sleep there and suddenly wake up to the sound of barking dogs and you realise you have been betrayed. [laugh] Then they take you in and waterboard you.

 

Basically the exercise runs for days and weeks until everyone gets caught. And everyone gets caught eventually [laugh]
