StefanK Supercharged October 23, 2013 Author Share October 23, 2013 6:24? That is a total (6x60)+24 = 384s which means 384/6 = 64s per 400m or per round running track [thumbsup] Wow.. He has no lungs? Even Gurkhas training with us last time also 7min plus. That means S-League Beep Test is no joke one. First time I see people run 2.4km is use sprint one. He lapped everyone hor...

Pocus Turbocharged October 23, 2013 Share October 23, 2013 (edited) You the can My ex-colleague was one and he said his most traumatic experiences was when kena posted to an A&E department. Most terrifying to him was attending to victims of serious traffic accidents when they were brought in... According to him best was to be medical center medics. Yup, got a friend who is a senior medic posted to A&E in the emergency team. Meaning he kena thoses ambulance come with critical patients. Like heart attack, accidents and other life-threatening cases. He said he was depressed for the first few weeks. Cos a high number of A&E victims he received died. He mentioned one of the most tramatizing for him is one patient, very old man, stared at him and his eye slowly fade to grey, died while staring at him. Quite traumatizing. Can see he changed in terms of outlook in life after that. Edited October 23, 2013 by Pocus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic October 23, 2013 Share October 23, 2013 Not sure about the age of Gurkhas SPF take in nowadays. My time 3 of them all quite old and married with kids. Youngest was a SPF Boxing Batam weight champion aged 35. They also walked after the SOC ramp but only a short while during CPFT. They are all 18 yrs old. I'm conducting training with them on key installations exercises and was told by their instructors that their selection criteria was very strict back in Nepal. One of the selection criteria was to run 4 miles within 7 minutes and everytime open applications, hundreds applied. This youngsters are super fits....

Spoke to the Batam weight champion quite often as his engrish most toa kong. He told me the selection was tough: mountain runs carrying loads with tight timing to clear and that physical abuse was very normal. PT nobody could beat them (imagine they were all there to cheer us Singaporeans at the end point of the SIW field after completion of the 5km/10km run themselves) but test-wise all CMI. Tough SOBs and deserve every penny our gahment pay them. the PTI when come back for 1st reservist, most got belly one. Not easy leh, like most they "trained" very hard to consoildate the six-packs into one big lump leh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH_CO 6th Gear October 23, 2013 Share October 23, 2013 (edited) Given free choice? Yeah , i still remember going for medical checkup many years back and the MO only gave me 3 choices , pilot , diver or cdo , you can't imagine what face i gave the MO and said no to all 3 . Next , i reported to a camp again for some call up and wasn't sure what was expected(before enlistment) and i was given a form to fill where you are to fill in the preference of the choice of your vocation. Again i chose the storeman , clerk and cook as my preferred and pilot , diver , commandos as my last 3 choice. Guess what happen later , my enlistment letter to BMT tekong was revoked and i was reporting to a camp in changi , only to find a whole bunch of fellows which had the same choice. Don't come and talk c--k with me when you say free choice. That said , i didn't regret a sec of my army life , it shaped me to what i am now.

Evillusion Supersonic October 23, 2013 Share October 23, 2013 HQ medic relac one la.... Infantry/Guards/AI medics, respect yes....my twin was a combat medic...and during my ns and reservist this medics have to bear the most amount of equipments....stretcher, medical pouch,saline and others. During my nsf we always helped the medic out especially during the long route marches. There was once we helped him carry his M16...he just had to carry himself for the rest of the exercise.....he was even allowed to take out his no. 4. He repaid us during brunei reservist when we ran out of water and he gave us his saline for our consumption.....saying it was a kind of payback for our help during nsf. Maybe he wanted to get rid of the saline bag....hahaha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
