Ya bro feel lucky that I’m this generation I heard storys from older friends and my uncles it always end up with one them knocking down or kena shouted at rabak one
This series really brings back memories of my BMT in Leopard Company during 2017. Also encik coy, and BMT was damn fun with good enciks and awesome section mates. Good times man
During my NS , I always look out for my Muslim mates while having our outfield mission. I always bring extra water in my fieldpack in case they need it. Fasting month is a challenge to them . Now we setting old Liao , can't Chiong like how we chiong-ed back then🤣😅 (now cannot wayang Liao)
@@yeezeey4037 And as we run, the helmet was banging up and down the head, Water bottle slapping on the hip, metal hooks on the belt pressing against the flesh. And also the very long and unwieldy M16
Having been the first batch to receive the webbing, it actually sucks a lot, your canteen will roll under you when you leopard crawl. They really need to make it tighter… I’d say the advantage of the Lbv is that everything doesn’t get in your way lol
Now SAF finally gotten Altama & Wellco jungle boots as standard issue. The Frontier one is really crap. Bought during 1st ICT, next year attend 2nd ICT, while walking from Guardroom to impro centre become hungry hungry hippo…. Some more cannot change if its from a certain batch..2 weeks of outfield secured by black tape…LOL
At 3:51 the technique is wrong for the balancing beam. Should use the grooves in the forefoot area, not the heel or put the edge of the heel on the step. Using the grooves is more stable. I rmb the PTI stressing that point.
My time on Tekong, there were three warrant coys - Delta/Dragon, Scorpion and I forgot the other one. The rest were normal NSF/regular officers. The warrant coys were easier coys to survive in...
@@quickmath2136 As in now? That is quite a change from my time (2002...yeap I'm ancient haha). We only had 3 coys with all Warrants. Also, Apache? Name changed?
19:20: shouldn't pause at the threshold where it's the fatal funnel. Gotta hook into the room and clear your corners. Either just some recruits not doing it right or the CQB SOP itself isn't right. Standing in front of an open door in CQB definitely is incorrect. Edit: to the person trolling me because he cannot understand what's a valid criticism, get a life instead of using fake accounts to spam unless you would like to be reported for harassment.
@@Tf2pd LOL, clearly someone who doesn't know CQB basics. Look, I would want to see our guys do things properly but if it's not, then obviously we should call it out so they can change and improve.
@@sophisticatedruffian4955 all the butthurt people lmao. If yall want to sugarcoat that our CQB is correct then by all means man! Just know that other nation's armies can see this and judge. And it doesn't take much effort to research on CQB tactics to see what is definitely a big no-no. Shall I educate you guys with some UA-cam tutorial links so it enlightens yall?
VOC more fun haha.... but yah that guy who talked back to his encik damn lucky. My Sergeant Major is a very chill guy but I respect him too much to even try this
Ah yes my fav the CQB, during my time we legit just shout damn loud but afterwards we talked to the commanders and they told us that thr are also signals for if the door is closed and like we just had fun using up the remaining spare blanks by repeating the CQB
Ahhh road march By the time I got to East Coast I couldn’t feel my leg and my mind shut down. It shut down till a point where I don’t even think of falling out. But I’m super glad I completed it 🤣 Oh btw 24km is a huge lie. We walked to national stadium. I rmb my oc said it was 28km
Stadium at least is nice smooth road. The tekong route with all the rocks, despite being shorter feels worse cos theres no light and no sense of direction
Route marches in active units were even more siong, when platoons must also carry GPMGs/tripods & mortars/base plates. But the stamina & toughness gained were invaluable during ATEC evaluations (mission urgency) & overseas exercises (long treks & little chance of medevac in the jungle).
Recruits wont wear the vest part. The swimming tube they wearing here is only half of the new LBS. The vest is actually quite bad when holding rifle cos it covers the small of your arm the rifle butt goes into. Very irritating.
BMT CQB really isn’t there to prepare you for urban ops, just to get a feel for it, once some of these guys go for proper infantry training, its going to be way more intense and detailed… tbh the SAR21 really is too bulky for CQB
In 1997, 1998 during my Army times, we got scolded like dogs with lots of vulgar language! Lcp ranks only 200 plus dollars per month, not enough money that is your f...... problem. Army don`t even give discount on public transport! That is how caring Army is to soldiers at that time. National slavery should be the words to describe it.
Jacob ladder the commanders so gentle?????? Lol. Our time. The Pc Will shout from below n we jus had to walk over the peak and move fast down!!! So scary but no choice!! Now so gentle!!! Lol. Time has changed
Ministry of Defend this is a good initiatives to publish this video to show our army but please filter the video. Instead of pride now kinda worry for our future. From postive msg become negative msg I told my daughter and my mum army was tough, now after watching together. She laughed at me and told me her school teacher is worse then army. My mother told me downstairs coffeeshop uncle confirm SOF more fierce than the sergeant we saw
Not trying to be discrimination but this is going to be in show the public and impress the world. Aleast selective pick the candidate. The last episode every Singaporean son that is quite solid
They are only recruits who are newly enlisted in the armed forces and not yet fully trained so yet to be called soldiers where the training are more tough.
I hope the trainers got teach the recruits the concept of cover (visual vs physical) and penetration capability of rounds before entrying the room. Enemy will be able to see thru (if the surprise element is no longer there) the gaps of the metal gates at the entrance and shoot thru them. Good effort thou. Unit will train them to the next level of proficiency.
The CQB instruction leaves much to be desired - for instance muzzle discipline is lacking, exposure to potential threats especially at the threshold, emphasis on speed instead of actually reading the room, ...
Yup, it is actually quite embarrassing to show this publicly tbh. The rest of the world can see that the recruits in our army are being taught the wrong thing when we are supposed to have a 1st world modern army. Also, it honestly looks like everything is too soft which also doesn't portray a strong image of the SAF. The first ESS series was decent and gave a much better showing of the SAF unless the standards haveibeen watered down today
@@rcw328 it definitely was. but we still love the dude, constant cigarette in 1 hand with duty-free tiger beer in the other. cannot imagine any CSM behaving like this anymore. those were really fond memories to last a lifetime.
Conscription. Since most males will become soldiers in a non voluntarily way, you train them to become an awared citizen who need to have the capability to defend their country first. The why, what, how. . Once they have acclimatized to it, understand why they are there, have the basic skills, then we can teach them proper soldiering fundamentals, Which is usually the next phase after bmt.
9:58 Wah this guy trained Sniper. I wonder why he became BMT instructor rather than go unit. Haha Also, SOF way of clearing quite different right? Haha
lol at 2:30 if someone talks back to the sergeant like this in bmt, they can get ready for hell. What kind of bmt is this? Soldiers move and react slowly to the instructors, aren't screaming their responses when prompted to... feels like a bunch of students going camping
Ikr, times have changed. I feel like discipline standards definitely wont be as good now if the respect of rank has slipped because bmt specs are taking it too easy on the recruits. Not telling them to abuse rank but this is the military la, some things really need some firm and strong enforcement for control and order
The suck thumb phrases which i hate the most. Whenever i hear those phrases, it made me show my true colors. I did it when i was serving NS because of those phrases. The more i hear, the more i show my stubbornness. I take the consequences I don't care. The more consequences, the more stubborn i become, the more colder i be. Why? This is who i am. I have a stand that everything is temporary. I take the risk, bare the consequences, fear no man because everything is temporary. Pain is temporary, punishment is temporary, getting scolded at is temporary and nothing is permanent. Forcing someone to do something they don't like, you won't get their 100% but if they do it out of their own will, this are the people that will give their 110% Me? I ready to die for my country. Protecting it. By my own way. I'm not very fond at taking orders and giving out order. I'm the bold one. When the OC says "CHARGE" which will not happen. regardless of bullets flying around, i WILL CHARGE! I'm an OC runner infantry signaller. Do maps, attending to OC just not my style. Infantry on the frontline of fight that's my style.
don't talk rubbish. every role has its importance on the battle field, from transport to armour, engineer to commandos. and fighting on the Frontline is not what the big screens make it out to be. you'll be faced with the deaths of your buddies, constant shelling of your position and often lack of supplies.
The recruit who talk back to his instructor who ask him whether he is holding a rifle or a guitar… he should feel lucky he enlisted in this generation
Ya bro feel lucky that I’m this generation I heard storys from older friends and my uncles it always end up with one them knocking down or kena shouted at rabak one
I believe that was actually sgt Fauzi LOL.
well, this is the 3G SAF ; the culture has evolved greatly to a more tech-savvy generation of recruits.
He wont stand a chance if he kene 70-80s period hehe
Outstanding series, as a BMT Instructor from nearly 20 years ago, it's quite surreal seeing the same grounds we used to train on. Keep it up boys
"Aim down for what ? Aiming for rats is it ?!" Brings back memories from my NS days. haha
2:33 lol if i will to talk to my sergeant like that in bmt , i dunno how many pumping and jumping jacks i gonna do lol
now genz commanders very lepz

When I first attempted the SOC course at Safti, I feel that their low wall and parallel bar were higher than that in BMT Pulau Tekong
i felt the same hahaha
@@gibson2106 Glad I am not alone
Many of us felt the same way! That's why we call SAFTI SAF Tekan Institute. They just want to make everything harder for us.
@@traderghost Yeah no wonder. I asked my other friend he forgot. But I always remember how come the course at Safti so much tougher
Safti one that is high confidence course right ? not the usual soc course. that one is really a high wall.
I think during my time we need to run 700 m before obstacles and then 600 m after. Most collapsed on the ground at the finishing line.
I actually vomited the towgay I took during lunch hahaha!! 30yrs ago already, time flies.
Saf soldiers these days have more welfare than those early days batch, even SOC run was shorter except more obstacles
@@Tony.L9793 yeah. I think the current run is almost negligible
@@yeezeey4037 And as we run, the helmet was banging up and down the head, Water bottle slapping on the hip, metal hooks on the belt pressing against the flesh. And also the very long and unwieldy M16
During my time the log ladder has no safety net underneath, many soldiers will stall midway due to fear of height.
Oh it still dont have even till now, only like selected few will have. Like maybe 1 section have the one beside it dont have
My God, Jacob’s Ladder with net. Nowadays those little girls play the jewel’s canopy net is more brave than these recruits
Might be just for the SOC grounds at tekong
nowadays training girls... not men. ah boys to girls!
When you reach the end , just don't care and just JUMP !! 😂
Hello from Ukraine
damn jealous of the return of the webbing.
screw the ilbv lol
Having been the first batch to receive the webbing, it actually sucks a lot, your canteen will roll under you when you leopard crawl. They really need to make it tighter… I’d say the advantage of the Lbv is that everything doesn’t get in your way lol
12:12 sneaky encik smoking behind
CQB, i really enjoy this training.
3:50 "SAF boots is very good" Just that for every reservist incamp, u just need to buy 1 new pair because it had become "crocodile"
The most recent supplier is quite alright. Have been wearing the same pair for the past 3-4 reservist cycles without issues.
Hahah. B4 ict take out is okay then u see everyone's boots open up upon reaching the camp LOL
Now SAF finally gotten Altama & Wellco jungle boots as standard issue. The Frontier one is really crap. Bought during 1st ICT, next year attend 2nd ICT, while walking from Guardroom to impro centre become hungry hungry hippo…. Some more cannot change if its from a certain batch..2 weeks of outfield secured by black tape…LOL
At 3:51 the technique is wrong for the balancing beam. Should use the grooves in the forefoot area, not the heel or put the edge of the heel on the step. Using the grooves is more stable.
I rmb the PTI stressing that point.
My time on Tekong, there were three warrant coys - Delta/Dragon, Scorpion and I forgot the other one. The rest were normal NSF/regular officers. The warrant coys were easier coys to survive in...

Ah yes my fav the CQB, during my time we legit just shout damn loud but afterwards we talked to the commanders and they told us that thr are also signals for if the door is closed and like we just had fun using up the remaining spare blanks by repeating the CQB
CQB prob the most unrealistic thing ever. If there's really an enemy there, you prob get shot before going in lol.
Ahhh road march
By the time I got to East Coast I couldn’t feel my leg and my mind shut down. It shut down till a point where I don’t even think of falling out. But I’m super glad I completed it 🤣
Oh btw 24km is a huge lie. We walked to national stadium. I rmb my oc said it was 28km
Back in the 90's 24km for BMT POP only, once active there's 48km and 72km to clear within the tour of duty. 🤭
It has always been more than 24 km. Need to have a proper start and end point.
Stadium at least is nice smooth road. The tekong route with all the rocks, despite being shorter feels worse cos theres no light and no sense of direction
Route marches in active units were even more siong, when platoons must also carry GPMGs/tripods & mortars/base plates. But the stamina & toughness gained were invaluable during ATEC evaluations (mission urgency) & overseas exercises (long treks & little chance of medevac in the jungle).

Everyone will go through BMT, after that the recruits will be put in different vocations based on their performance in BMT in I'm not wrong
