Get to learn a lot lor. I was infantry recce spec but my NS was 10 yeaes ago so not sure if still relevant. I went on jeep course (military class 3 basically), artillery call for fire course, some other specs went for air photo reading course with RSAF, basic medical course, combat survival course, supposed to go for weapons (GPMG) course, and of course scout commander and scout trooper courses.

I liked the independence but it's tough sometimes.

 

[Alpha04]

slightly different only. eg, for armour, you need to survey the area if tanks are able to pass thru. guards need to see if there is an area for them to be inserted, via coastal hook or heli.

Hi there. Am a recce spec from an armour unit. Got the interview too when i was in BSLC. Trust mi that recce is actually quite a fun, challenging and rewarding vocation to be in. I personally am quite honoured to be a recce spec. Basically, the role of an armoured recce is to conduct reconnisance on enemy territory depicted by ur higher ups. Being in an armour unit means that u have the luxury of vehicles at ur disposal, namely bikes and Afv's. Chances of getting in after the interview shld be quite high if u have expressed interest or displayed potential. But of course, its up to the interviewer to select you. Hope you have benefited from this. Cheers!
First in, Last out.

Haha. U don't have to worry so much, i wasnt that good at it myself either,probably a "holland king",when i was selected to be a recce spec and currently i still think i have much room for improvement. It takes a lot of hard work and determination to master navigational skills, its through the numerous practices at navigation that u learn from ur mistakes and correct them, and this doesnt come easy, its not sth that u can learn in a day or two, it is indeed an arduous process. There are numerous useful websites on youtube about navigation, u just have to go and search.
Good luck and dont give up.

Back in those days, only 3 vocations are allowed to wear jungle hats officially.
CDO,
Snipers,
Scouts.

So you tell me, xiong or not?

Of course active time, it can be quite lobo. Especially snipers & scouts in the brigade level.

So no I don't think guards is xiong. it is just heliborne infantry unit, then again 1SIR was also a heliborne boxer unit.

There are more infantry units that won the best combat unit than guards units combined.

was a 40SAR recce commander.. Was entitled to wear jungle hat "u can sew on the RECON tab on ur jungle hat" after passing out from Recce Commander Course in PLC (u will go back to where u joined sispec, but different school.. think is School of Military Intellegence) .. After that need to go back to PLC again with my men to join the Armour Scout Platoon Course.. This time u will go overseas and nagivate for around 3 days, 2 nights.. after ur training with the men.. ur men can wear jungle hat..

Lots of fast marches.. but it was fun and a great experience to be a scout.. specially with the motorcycle course at Kaki Bukit!!
