9:01 Yes. Some of our naval divers, usually the career sailors are selected to go for Navy SEALS training. 13:32 The 3 Chevron is known as 3rd Sergeant. The other rank u saw is corporal.
Only the regular divers of NDU have the opportunity for airborne training and foreign military courses. Quite a number of them are BUD/s qualified (note that international students dont need to go through SQT to get the trident) and US Army SF Q Course qualified (some even US SF Combat Diver qualified too). In fact, Warrant Raj went through the US SF Q Course, and you can tell from his right breast pocket on his uniform with the "Special Forces International" tab. Technically, one of the hardest courses in the SAF for the NSF conscripts. But hardest? There's harder courses for the regular sign-on SF dudes.
All the guys with the blue tab 'Special Forces' on their left shoulder, are part of SWG (Special Warfare Group), a formerly classified special forces unit specializing in deep insertion. They train with tier-1 units all over the world.
Hey there, Former servicemen here. The officer we saw earlier with the 3 coat of arms insignias is a Colonel (lieutenant colonels only bear two insignias) Yes. that Colonel has gone through the full US navy seals course, not just BUDS. I've met a few commanders here with that very same Trident and the story is always the same, unbelievably gruelling with an unethical attrition rate, but the weak sharpen the strong in courses such as those. Hats off to the Commander.
I think foreign candidates can only do BUD/s. I think the only foreign student that went through the full pipeline was Ken Rhee of the South Korean UDT SEALs
Fun fact: Singapore has made two movies "Ah boys to men 1 & 2", showcasing the experience on our basic military training and the struggles that some of us goes through. There is also one movie on the NDU course "Ah boys to men 3: Frogmen". These movies are very relatable to many Singaporean sons and we love it. However, it's focus more on the drama and plot of the main characters rather than military and tatical stuff
We are conscripts in Singapore but its a mandatory national service. So technically speaking its a mandate to enlist once you are 18 years old of age. Deferment is allowed but that just means you serve at an older age.
They are not the special forces, but the special forces unit typcially continue their training from the ndu or commando units as a regular fulltime soldier, after they pass another few rounds of selection again
The circular and one stripe below is Corporal. Most of the guys with at least A levels or Diploma will get Corporal ranks upon completion of a specialized course, or in their 2nd year of service. The three chevrons are sergeants, they will be team leaders, with extra leadership courses etc. Leadership roles (sergeants/officers), are sort of random, but the criteria is having to be assessed suitable for leadership in basic training + indicated they are willing to serve as commanders. Almost all are conscripts and they will take up leadership roles and be trained for those, to form a full unit - all national servicemen for the next 10+ years. (returning 2-3 weeks a year).
The guys with two chevrons are corporals (though as this is a conscript army they don't actually have any of the noncommissioned officer powers accorded by all-volunteer militaries) and the guys with three are 3rd sergeants - the lowest rank of NCO in our structure with command powers. The corporals can progress to corporal first class (CFC) with an extra curve.
From my time in the navy as a regular sailor years back and knowing a few of the divers. If you pass hell week but drop out of the diver's qualification course, you get a Lance Corporal rank. If conscript and pass out of divers course, you get Corporal rank. 3rd Sergeant are typically career soldiers who signed on after getting their diver qualification
One thing I admire about the Uk and US is that you see normal civilians walking up to the serviceman to thank them for the service to the country. You don’t really see that in Singapore. Sometimes when I do it, but I get the stares.
Servicemen in UK & US are career soldier and most of them have to do combat tours overseas to earn their ranks. They are in uniform when they book out unlike in Singapore most time trainees, NSF or reserves book out in uniform while regulars book out in civilian clothes. Hence it don't shows the regulars' ranks, badges and unit.
Why singaporeans do not show reverence to those who served in the military, police or civil defence is because an incredible 1 million folks out of a total population of 6 million had served and some of those who served in the first few decades the training even for ordinary infantry were hellish and banned in later years.
When every male members in your family or male relatives at one time in their life have been a soldier before , be it 2 years or 10-20 30 years as a career soldier, it just part and parcel of our lives. Nothing special about it.
YES!! That's actually her name (Gracie Brooks) so many people have recommended highly about her and I'm just starting with her😊from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Am from Singapore and done my national service. My absolute 💯 respect for these guys at NDU 🫡 By the way, can anyone make out what equipment brand were they using? Seems like Poseidon brand.

Is it confirmed that he went through SQT as well? I think foreign soldiers usually get the trident after bud/s
Yes the commanding officer went to US to complete BUDS.

The rank they obtained are mosely coporal first class and a few got 3rd sergent.
Not quite true. Majority are corporal rank. next top est 10% is corporal first class. top est 5% would be Sergent rank.

nothing to upset about, it is culture issue.
If i were to tell my mum “I love you!”, my mum will stare at me too.
@@Whatexactlyispeace I agree. I got the stare when I was still in uniform.

@@michchongdepends on unit. we are not allowed to book out in civi when 3k of us is regulars in our base , we don’t have many nsf with us.
Hooya! 28!

TNI lost to KKB
Compare to Malaysian Navy this is a Children Film =)
are you seriously comparing your PASKAL operators to conscript divers...
Obviously this guy never even been to his country’s army. Only played a few games of COD and thinks he is qualified.
I'm favoured, $60k every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
As a beginner it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known crypto consultant
She is Expert Gracie Brooks
YES!! That's actually her name (Gracie Brooks) so many people have recommended highly about her and I'm just starting with her😊from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Her name rings a bell; I've encountered it multiple times, usually associated with stories of her trading achievements. She deserves a lot of credit.
