  • somehow i feel smth missing....oh!!! vulgarities from the SGTS! lols!!

  • 7:09, "Platoon sergeant : Prove yourself how tough you are. Recruit with the sleeping face: Bo pian la" hahaha future commanders?

  • haha cry.. last time training more worse....

  • what if i got acne then must camo face ? means i dont camo the pimples ah ? but quiet a lot eh

  • i finally understand why my ns-ord frens say army makes you stupid lol

  • could be the cameras around, makes the commanders so ON, and so caring to train soldiers, during my recruit days, commanders were not like this, they just wanted to give us punishment, when we did good, they didint care, i think the pep talk does help us to understand all this suffering is for a greater good and not because we are a "chow recruit"...

  • when i was a recruit, took me hours to get shellscrape to be up, seems not use to digging, after a few hits, i feel so drained out!!!. eventually we went on to dig the trench, which took us the entire night till dawn before we are done!!!..

    but when i was in guard unit, couple of months later, the standard was 1 hr to dig a shell scrape, was all of us was able to do it, and a trench, did not take us more then 6 hrs.

    so its all in the mind... ;)

  • woa i dug my shellscrape in the middle of the night.. using only candle for light

  • Members of the Singaporean military attended Basic Reconnaissance Course, Amphibious Base Coronado with me in 1994. They also attended BUDS/ SEAL course and Ranger School among other US military schools. The staff non-commissioned officers were very professional. SSGT Ping was a good friend during this time to me. 

  • fuck man.....tats the best piece of of ground u can dig a shellscrape =.=""

    wonder if they did that rediculous letter burning ceremony...rofl...

  • i would be very happy to dig a shellscrape on that kind of terrain... bcoz i have been through worse than that...

  • Shellscrape give cover against arty round... These BMTC commanders are such frogs in wells. Hope some of the recruits will learn that there are such things out there called DPICMs, and that artillery will often fire multiple salvos to impact simultaneously. Shellscrape or not, the whole unit will be wiped out. Act tough, talk tough but dunno shit any how smoke recruits. Shellscrapes at best lowers a rifleman' sillouhuette profile, and hence cover. It offers zero protection against arty.

  • lololol, tbh, watching this after watching "Surviving the cut" means something lolol

  • So soft the training.. Wonder what will become of them once passed out..

  • Thats soft ground.. When it was was my time, there was large boulders and rocks in the ground and we had to use pick axes to dug it up.. Lucky guys..

  • when im 18 i wil suffer like them now im 12

  • LOL @ bmt sgts... fugging lao lan..

  • Whats LBV and shellscrape?

  • What's LBV and shellscrape?

  • Youtube puts a very small word limit on replies, so its darn inconvenient to explain it fully, but if you do some googling you should be able to find the studies and papers out there which explain the process. Of course, I don't deny that sometimes you do get instructors who abuse their position of authority. But that's the case in any organisation. The system isn't perfect, but its what we have for now.

  • @ imperialarmour I think you're missing the point. One of the objectives of basic military training, in ANY military around the world, is to break down the individualism of each recruit, and to make them realise that if or when the shit hits the fan, they need to be thinking about the man next to them, not just themselves. Part of breaking down that individualism is carried out by the instructors doing what more sensitive people view as "talking like they're worth a damn"

  • "how long you all need?!" I tell you i need 5 mins to the casualty Point. Problem? U Mad Sergeant?

  • Look at those BMT instructors, talking like they're worth a damn. Pathetic.

  • guys, give them a break. they are new recruits. surely, with more practice, they will do better:)

  • i cried...

  • Bunch of noobs

  • @RidRave if u never been through that stage before... i think you're worst than noob. -.-

  • @hawkhawk81 The word noob is actually means newbie, a newcomer or novice. So they are Trainee so we call them noobs got it :3

  • @RidRave den pls use "recruits" or "newbie".. u're playing too much game... y must u use an extra word??

  • @hawkhawk81 "Newbs" I Like that word :3

  • All do half fuk pushups? My time sgts will say my grandma can do better than u!!

  • yep, we were only allowed 45mins or less to dig a shellscrape.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow 7 hours to dig a shellscrape!? Thats really long, We were only given a third of that time. And everyone had to dig the same length so anyone could fit in any shellscrape.

  • @SpinnerBandit haha, a third of the time is still long. the actual timing to dig a shellscrape for a defense mission is only 45 minutes. You'll know better when you go to command sch or whichever infantry unit

  • @SpinnerBandit Im pretty sure it's possible for experienced guys, my OC did it in an hour but i have to say it's pretty rough on first timers with no experience on the tips and tricks of digging a shell scrape

  • Wah, since when was there a "mail run"? Welfare + 1 :)

  • lol they nv show all the turn outs at night...all the crawling in the mud..the video show nothing abt wat recruits go through man srsly...that tekan session is really just the tip of the iceberg...

  • hate instructor ! NS SUCK 3:02

  • WAAAH so wayang. BMTC Officer and sergeant where got put camo and wear lbv one... and dig shell scrape in daylight?! Drama is abit too BoB-esque.

    Camo also never camo the neck and the ears.

    If theres anything I've learned, the precise behaviour of the officer in disciplining, reasoning, tone of voice etc. is what rapidly loses respect and rapport among the men. There is a very thin and fine line between training and ill treatment.

  • @D04S02B04 just went through my field camp. PC, PS, SCs never camo the whole time. Some sect comms also only show face for half a day throughout the whole field camp lol.

  • i feel ns hard to go through is home sick

  • these guys are considered lucky.i had to do it during fasting month

  • Comment removed

  • 3days? 14 day ex with limited food,water and sleep sound more like it.

  • How tall is Lemuel?

  • this nothink compare to the mono intake training!!

  • @RonMakassa Hey man..Not all asians are like tat lol

  • @Blackcandlez at least dont cry on world renowned website called "youtube" and say they missed their mothers so much when they are only 3 weeks away! i've heard too many about this and it made me sick! SICK!

  • @RonMakassa have u been in the army before?

  • @Halflifex yes.. for 5 years.. why?

  • @RonMakassa cool. nothning just curious. haha

  • Anyone in RP watching tis? wahahaha

  • @Blackcandlez I just got posted to RP lol.

  • and crying about how much they miss their parents?! c'mon!! average US citizens spend most of their lives living hundreds of miles away from their parents!! is singapore full of whimps?

  • the punishment is pathetic! cant the commanders make them do proper push ups just for youtube?! c'mon!

  • o man .. i going in in few months time ! wish me ll the best

  • @DevilBoyz88 all the best! enjoy ur time there! its gona be tiring, yes, its gona be tough, definitely, but at the end of the day, hw much u suffer, that's the same amount of suffering that ur buddy is going through.. u can do it.. i did it, and i've survived thru 2 yrs.. :) good luck! just be urself, help others when they r in need, never ever be selfish becus at the end of the day, u r fighting side by side with them.. nothing can go wrong..

  • @shirazee15 aww, thx

  • @DevilBoyz88 Good Luck Man :D

  • I cringe every time I see these videos. Just goes to show how fucking sheltered Singaporean kids are. A little common sense and your shellscrape can easily be finished within 45 minutes. There was an indian national in my BMT Coy who finished it (he actually dug TOO deep) in 20 minutes, and this dude couldn't have weighed more than 50 kilos.

  • I'm glad that NS in my country wasn't so tough .

  • you know if we got into a war we'd just evaporate immediately... i honestly dont see the point of NS...

  • Haha thumbs up people. Im a sec 2 from vs too. Why must we do this assignment!!! Why!!!

  • @OrdinaryGuy707 haha idk la damn hard sia. i writing essay. u eh?

  • @headlessnikk Grammar ololo

  • Thumbs up if ur a sec 2 from VS

  • @XDBANE me too im a student from vs.

  • NO MATTER HW TIRED LIKE GOING TO DIE..JUST THINK UR LOVE ONE.. LIKE GIRLFRIEND PARENTS...ETC. STILL CANNOT ... TRY TO IMAGINE U GOING OUT TO WAR TO SAVE UR LOVEABLE PRINCESS TAKEN BY ENEMY...U HAVE NO CHOICE TO SACRIFIES UR BODY FOR HER... MAYBE U ALL CAN MAKE IT TO COMPLETE THE FIELD CAMP..

  • @metallicafrog or find a new girlfriend

  • THIS IS THE TOUGHEST TIME IN BMT..HOW SHAG ,HOW DIRTY ,HOW THIRSTY STILL MUST DO IT...I BUILT MY BASHA TENTAGE AT PERMATANG CAMPSITE P.TEKONG..BEAUTIFUL RUBBER PLANTATION SCENERY BUT PRAY HARD NOT TO RAIN..DON'T ASPECT TO GO BACK COY LINE IN CLEAN UNIFORM.

  • this video going make me feel sad i run and go hug my parent thumb up if u do this

  • Sorry, I couldn't make it out: What's the section being punished for at 3:08?

  • @tommyzDad The recruits were punished for not maintaining field discipline in ensuring that there was no litter in the surrounding areas. Hope that clarifies!

  • @cyberpioneertv Thanks!

  • @cyberpioneertv i think you are just a PES E clerk in CMPB

  • lol i remember the days of fieldcamp even before the army started the letter thing lol! shellscrape no good, cover and dig again lol!

  • Hmmm...try digging 2 shell scraps every night for 4 consecutive days...lol

  • Comando training ...

  • When I was digging shellscrape in army, everyone was saying we're digging our own grave. :P

  • Wait til they go brunei and taiwan,good luck.

  • so sad to see a army cry

  • @waveyourhand: wat types of punishments given by sgts? In the clip only shows 3 sets of pushups n crutches only..tink is ok loh??

  • @andyjeewk

    rifle jumping jacks, leopard crawl, rolling in mud.. the list goes on and on. the clip hasn't showed the true horrors of how sergeants can tekan the recruits.

  • hahaha. during those BMT days. it was pouring heavily on the 2nd day of shell scrape that it turned into a mini swimming pool. and one of our section mate actually lost his gas reg !

  • i remembered my PS placed me near a tree to dig my shellscrape, im not complaining but i had to dig through all that tree roots, good times...

  • in real ops , no one digs trench with the rifle slung. there will be other soldiers on guard around the perimeter to provide security. digging with rilfe slung is just to make the training that bit harder..

  • hyper ventilation is serious bullshit. chaokeng

  • 4:45 the person pants got a big hole ?

  • @facebook321able no, that's just mud stains on his pants..

  • @facebook321able nope just soil on this pants

  • The whole bloody series is like one big boy scout boot camp joke. The final straw must be that stupid song, i wouldn't even use it for boy scouts.

  • dont know really cry or fake it for the cameras

  • @carouselmeister its really true. i went through field camp myself. and before the letters from love ones was to pass to us, they will punish us like nobody business until they found that you guys cannot take it, and they pass you the letter. and trust me, when u received the letter itself, you sure cry before you even open it up the envelope. :/

  • Hi carouselmeister, is that true. oh manz my nephew just went in last Thursday, his mother and me wept.. I can't imagine all our Singapore boys have to go thru these...My salute to all GREAT soilders..

  • Wah.... 8 hours of digging!!!! lolz... i can finished in 45mins!

  • @evoranger Mai hao lian la...Keep it to yourself eh sia liao right?...

  • Cdt Captain Shamsul Haron.. My Sir from ncc.. And now he is leading in saf.. SO proud of him:D

  • seriously... are they trying to reassure the S'porean public that the army has a heart? Letters?! Worse... what's with the crying?!!

    Granted, people have emotions... but do that behind closed doors, or at least that they are fighting through the tears. I just see tired people laying there and sobbing. `Nuff said.

  • wah lan maid also can dig better sia, look at him sit in shell scrape dig shit hole...

  • and just for ur info, wad u see in this video is merely a sneak preview of wad we been through for the field camp. indeed, we maybe softer compared to the past generation but that doesnt mean we r pussies. and bloodyfool23. thr maybe other company who train tougher than wad we been thru but u cannot say we train any way easier than u guys. who are you to complain when u complete ur 24km route march inland and didnt go through the tough terrain in tekong before u pop?

    always orion.

  • excuse me, yes, other field camps are much tougher. but bmt is the first army field camp we been through. we didnt know wad to expect. so how fair is it to say we spend so long digging the sheelscrape??

  • For me, everyday kana f-ed. One day can do up to now 500pushups or even more!

  • LETTERS ???? YOU MUST BE JOKING SOLDIER ???!!! WE WERE LITERALLY F-ED THE WHOLE FIELDCAMP, NOT FORGETTING THE PARTY OUR COMMANDERS ENJOYED GIVING US AT 4AM IN THE MORNING ON THE LAST DAY !!!!

  • This is terrible. I will never trust my life with these softies. I admit our training back then was already very relaxed, but I did not expect SAF to degrade until like that. This a documentary of Singapore Ladies Armed Forces (SLAF). They always argue a strong mind is important. Even with all the high-tech drones, weaponry and laptops, a mind that cannot withstand the physical rigors and hardship can never be any better no matter how academically accomplished he is.

  • Oei young boys! u guys feel tired! imagine we lao peng go back and dig.....

  • half a day??...might as well tell the enemies shoot me....maybe they can help to dig the hole to bury em...hahahahahahahaha

  • It's bmt. bloody pussies. 4 day outfield can cry wan.

  • lol all pussies one. i 2011 batch, WHISKEY COY, still kena fuck 10x worse

  • This video shows over pampered soldiers. My time where got letters, only have 4 letter words from my Sergents f-ing me.

  • Took them more then 5hrs to dig a shellscrape? And still can post up this video to showcase the army "boys"?? And what's with the2LT's watermelon face? And what is "You better double I tell you... better DOUBLE!!" at 4.55mins... Has "run faster" from the army jargen "Double Up" change to just "Double"? Overly dramatised... 

  • Walaneh tissue paper also want to kaobeh.

  • Nice video.

    Also explains why our soldiers are now soft and need maids to carry their full packs. They take so damn long to dig a bloody shell scrape and ,sorry, I just cannot agree to a whole platoon crying like babies after a hard day.

  • Nice video.

  • Hi what's the song that's playing from 2:38 to 2:57?

  • woah.. touching~

  • Nicely done, even show how usually kana tekan. But a lil censored ah. Without the usual vulgarities, it's not so original.

  • this part of my life is over. i received my letter on the last night. god damm 5 days. hahaha. but compared to my sgt course 7 days. actually this is just the beginning of more shit. happy enduring to those going to army. :D

  • what?! half a day to dig shell scrape? Really getting soft...

    Soon, mindef will allow maids to dig shellscrape for boi boi. :)

  • Guys!!!! Im going to army soon so I made a video about my feelings about this show! cHECK it out!!!!

  • "i think i will take about half a day to dig my shellscrape"

    thats a big joke my fren

  • @legendarychieee

    half a day to dig a shell scrape? in asrama, i can dig a fire trench man..

  • i can't imagine my boyfriend going thru this. its gonna be hard bt he is a strong guyy. ^^ heeh! but this made me breakdown. goshh! the toughness they have to go thru.

  • @nonononoi

    trust me my dear, BMT is the easiest part.. if they go to GCC, commando, PTI, ASLC or BSLC or even OCS, its FAR WORSE...

  • i can't imagine my boyfriend going thru this. its gonna be hard bt he is a strong guyy. ^^ heeh!

  • This video broke me! :(

    Can't imagine for my boyfriend to go through this. :'(

  • fuck i dont need to go through this to be a man.

  • By far, the most heart-wrenching and yet heart warming episode. The toughness have been witnessed by many and it has touched the hearts of many to be proud of boys who have gone through this phase to be a man. It was indeed a great arrangement to have the letter writing to light up the fading morale of each soldiers! Nonetheless, may SAF promise that all soldiers are well taken care of despite the tough training.

  • my name is dominic OMHG LOL(i am not in the video)

  • Ever kana pumped wearing socks in fieldcamp? N wear back boots within 30s if not take off again?

  • so parents, now u know what to do..

    let ur son(s) learn how to dig the ground using mattock while he is still young

  • This is a good addition to the recruits' life =) Im sure it would push them further... didnt have it during my time then ! aww!

  • @Dracory: yeah loh. Practically every hr we will b doing pushups or other punishments loh till hands tremble. Morning torture by sgts, nite tortured by mosquitoes! Kaozz!

  • compared to my field camp i feel that army life now is soo much better, laptop for recruits, letter from parents during field camp - so touching, and soon to have indoor live-firing wtf? my platoon sergeant wasn't even half as nice as the guy in this video is.

  • @TToTToTT bro, you must realize that this is going to be played on national tv for all eyes to see. So all the punishments and vulgarities are edited away. But yes you are right, army life is certainly better when compared to the past.

  • The letter writing part is really quite something. I never had that during my time.

    The army really messed up your senses, pushed your body beyond its limit and then, the final blow, which was just brilliance in my opinion! They yank your heart out! Sweet.

  • What are their facebooks???I die die 3 weeks finding their facebook

  • NS is such bullshit, if I had to take commands from some prick who can't even speak proper English I'd prolly bite a bullet. What utter nonsense.

  • My sgt always like to say "ncc boys can do pushups better than u guys"!

  • They juz hav a pampered life 

  • field trip still can write letter? 2 more years can email. msn skype... or talkbox?

  • @xMrSam is family members write to them...

  • @lynetteluvstar dude u nv c they reply ??

  • @xMrSam family members write to them and they reply...

  • should seriously upgrade the blade and stick lah, it's like obsolete liao.

  • the spade is dam small we are worst than bhagara this is not the best spade...hahaa

  • when i digging my shell scrape i jus wish that i not that tall...jus imagine if u digging a fire hole for the section, u be curse and swear by ur section mate cos they need to dig according to ur height for a extra depth...wtf...haha... And also anyone see any bhgara (bangladesh.worker)around or bulldozer i need to dig the hole here!!!

  • You all realise that this is just a documentary right? The real thing is far, far worst. There'll be swearing and cursing and all that shit. Take it with a pinch of salt guys.

  • where is the vulgarity?

  • My time we do pushups in FBO loh kam pua shag!

  • @andyjeewk lol.. push up confirm half fuck one. bend elbow one... lol.. where got time sia want to do properly... the fieldpack already disturbing your neck and upper back...

  • this is the worse exercise meh?.... they're just born pampered... i wonder how will it be when there's war......

  • Now can wear gloves meh???

  • i dun tink i cried in my bmt!!! here the whple platoon is crying...OMG!!!!!!

  • OMG Officer very za bor leh!

  • Idk wat to say. Dig so long and kana punished machiam just gg thro the motion only~

  • WOW! these soldiers are wimps! They can't dig ,cant do push- ups and can't do sit- ups right.

  • @CJG52689 call them wimps might as well think about yourself first -.-

  • @Jx821 okay im thinking about myself...sorry man but I still think they're weak

  • I see some of them digging aimlessly.. The best way to do it, I believe, is to mark out the area you are going to dig and start digging from the center outwards...

  • @jiajia413 lol i think 98% of us can do it in 45 min. there is even a test on it :/

  • tip to shell scrape digging is pre prepare.... make sure ET blade sharp. then make sure you are digging not farming .... good luck... i think

  • any tips on digging shell scrape?

  • i am lucky to be in NCC.

    So that i could prepare myself for Army life...

  • @mrmamat30 me too (=
