      depends on where u r posted to
      if school, should be more busy
      like bmt, always train recruits
      unit, not too sure
      pay should be the same as combat 3SG

    • For SOF,you can apply through your navy officer if you wanna join SOF.Or wait for the SOF recruitment letter to be sent to you.No need to be diver to join SOF.SOF takes in people from all vocations,from divers to lifeguards to cooks to gunners,ehehe Very Happy

      Don't think U can switch like that lor....NS already difficult...somemore U sign on....ur contract is with the navy leh.....

      The SOF thingy......I not from navy....my NS in army....last time got SOF recruitment talk....they tell us that U can APPLY if U have at least served 9mths in the vocation U are in....to me..it means that if U fail the SOF training...they still have a place to dump U back.....
      Anyway....singapore naval special ops force is not exactly called SOF hor...they just share the same basic selection and training phase.....I don't see the correct term being used much so I dunno if I can tell U the name...U can find out from your navy sources...

      Anyway...if U really want to do special ops....I suggest that U go for diver first....U regular....a diver badge would look good on ur credentials and also in case U cannot make it to special ops...U also can go back to NDU and be one of the elites....NDU training would be good for your special ops selection and training too....

      where can I get the form huh?

      You mean the SOF form?I threw mine away liaoz.But the form lists the criteria of joining SOF.Anyway,i think you can go down to CMPB and get a copy of it if you are serious of joining.And yes,i am a regular in the navy,ehehe Very Happy

      Nooki : SOF does look for people annually.In fact,they sent the recruitment letter to me quite a few times and i threw it into the wastebasket,ehehe Very Happy

      SOF training is not oni abt being fit in ur brawns
      its physical, mental n psychological
      so being fit alone is useless
      NEVER SAY DIE
      DIE ALSO CANNOT

      Being fit can only get you through the physical part of SOF training,the rest depends on how strong you are mentally,ehehe Very Happy
