    • No sure abt now but Recce POW training is slightly different from CDO's.....

      Having that said, all military training involve 3 main components: Technical skills, Physical stamina, and Mental endurance.

      In POW training, a soldier will undergo these trainings in the form of: Capturing, POW & interrogations, and Escape & evasion.

      In Capturing, POW & interrogations, the soldier will experience the physical and mental duress during being captured, the physical and mental stress of POW (depreviations of food, shelter and rest), and hard and soft methods of interrogations. All these are to break down the captured soldier in providing info to the enemies.

      In Escape and evasion, the soldier will understand technical skills in survival situation, gatherign food, water and find/building shelter while evading enemy capture. The soldier will learn how to set traps, start a fire, collect water, and communicate to your own team.

      The soldier will also eb taught to navigate away from enemy territories and move toward friendly zone.

      Last but not least, the training will revolve around building a strong mental strength to survive.

       

      One tip for you; in the event of a POW scenario, the hero will die first. Let the fun begins!

    • I was in the POW course just before that incident :(

      And I'm from infantry recce.

      The POW course is 2 weeks, and 1 week is on theory. The 2nd week is practical, and the dunking plus "torture" part is only 1.5 days I think... First few days of 2nd week is more of jungle survival

      That 1.5 days was the longest 1.5 days of my life. Subjected to all sorts of soft torture that's garaunteed not to leave any scars for the Red Cross to see. It just gets more psychological then physical as it progressed with time.

       

      I heard during my course one of the guys cracked and blurted out the PS's name and both kenna really jialat after that.
