OLD SAF SOC

[yaoxing76]

For those who haven't done the old SOC before, it's actually more difficult than it looks in this video.

[airbearbear]

the video got k-long is it? the wall is so low, the wire at stepping board got so low one meh? how come low ramp got sand as landing spot one? the last part run like that how to make the it in 8 mins ... fail lah

[mako7828]

What I never understood about training, is that those who need it the most, seem to only take it once and then lose all muscle memory twords it later on when its most needed.

[ximmortalx]

er.... ORD LOH?!

[bOycHiLL]

German soldiers.

[ConChim85]

my soc full rundown is 8.30... I feel lousy compared with those old-time soldiers...

[razmihariz89]

i completed BMT SOC in 6 min 13 sec with 600m rundown. Its easy if ure a ippt silver or gold standard.

[LordMaChao176]

SOC Sibei Jialiat ! IPPT ! Lagi Worst ! Everyday ! Doing PT ! With my Rifle and my Buddy and Me !

[1vipermain]

Did it in 6 min 36 secs, but after ROC, went down to 8 min 15! SAFTI one like 30 yrs ago! Hehehe!

[rafiq89]

ahh u say kids stuff. see how fast you can clear it. ;-)

[danielchen87]

@rafiq89 make that *if you can clear it :P

[kinkan81]

Kids stuff

[littleghost]

Strange.....is the ramp 2m ???? It looks less then that....

[fah85]

AH. The SOC. Bring back alot of memories.

[3GAterry]

can anyone tell me what this song?

[fadlee]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.. what a joke

[wingyip]

oh my god! ippt sei bei jia lat SOC lagi worst!

[razer868]

how is the SOC run now that the SAR-21 is the standard weapon? and the boots have changed?

In the mid 80's the SOC was the worst - the worst course you can run is the one at SAFTI OCS. It sucks to run up a sloped road after the ramp - its like - like....like ....total crap!

[talamioros]

It still was crap in 2007... Sigh. Jurong Camp people had to go to OCS for our SOC, siong... Nevermind. ORD loh!

[wendyneo]

SERVE NS FOR F? NO POINT!

And the proof is here:

watch?v=iZKFRlvs5yc&fmt=18

[hellcyborg]

hey wendy you're a real prick.

[gohan73]

do what? if u do bmt u dont have to do obstacle course?

[ballsotong]

actually no need to do one. i rem in tekong i always queue up at the side of the station to give my number to the sgt cos i cant do any of it. ha. and i dun have to ever do it again after bmt.

[gohan73]

how many feet is the low wall... wheres the high wall wtf?

[jidewoaini]

MWO Ng Siak Ping - 5:55

[icecub3]

once u jump off that ramp, ur legs alr damned shag but still gotta run that last lap. it's a killer i tell ya. i failed by a min. =(

[kiy0sh1]

the run down is a killer..lol..700m+600m..

[fragilez]

SOC, super shag. run such a long distance with so much weight, then do obstacles then run again. every time see ppl pengz one

[jkgodlike4]

SOC is easy like shit.

[wendyneo]

It is sad that while Singaporeans are serving NS, jobs go to foreigners:

youtube com/watch?v=nMxTcRs3KDU

[Cptjonmiller]

@wendyneo Why not everyone join army then. Aren't there lots of vacancies? At least taking up NS like a man is better than running away like someone who have no balls.

[ghostofwinter]

SOC sucks like shit. good thing I clear my 2nd year liao. no more SOC!!!!

I dunno why some ppl say it's very easy. this ppl obviously have neevr done the full thing before.

[thebes89]

not true. some ppl are just ridiculously fit. lol

[syah92]

boy scouts

[polomall]

It doesn't matter...

[sleepyman79]

What do you expect from an unwilling conscripted army...

[ultrapak]

careful when you do one leg landing , it might tear your ligament.

[laser434]

omg i love the song can some1 send it to me

[evilkiller88]

A course tat all soldiers hv to go through =x

[SSUstufRudel]

Not all, We don't do it in the RSAF.

[timothyngim]

Just out of curiosity? Does the video show the best trainees/recruits, or the whole thing? Because Im sure there will be some recruits who will fail certain part of the SOC rite?

[ultimatedumbass]

BMT SOC is very very easy you can literally do it in 2 minutes. When you go to your unit the fun really starts because you have a 1.3KM rundown on top of the SOC itself unlike BMT where you have like a 100m rundown just for fun.

[timothyngim]

Wat if after BMT you get to be an army clerk instead?

[ultimatedumbass]

Unlikely but possible. Depends on your PES status. If you are combat fit IE PES A or B you will still have to do SOC once a year in your unit. First year timing is 10mins to pass while 2nd year is 9:30 to pass. Your highest chance of being a clerk is if you are combat unfit from the start (PES C or E) or obese. But SOC is the least of your concerns if you go to a combat unit.

[timothyngim]

Why is it least concern if combat unit?

[ultimatedumbass]

You will find SOC quite relaxing compared to some of the field trainings/ PT that you will do.

[danielchen87]

hm i rmb in my bmt you had to do e whole thing... but maybe things have changed or something... shrugs

[roastedfish]

hey daniel! yep... things have changed a lot in BMT... now... the rundown is removed... so its just the obstacles...

[limdes75]

WHAT!!! Obstacles only!!! WTF!!! My time we run like dogs to clear 1.5km so that we can hit the 8min passing. Now 10min can pass liao...

[Zainalpasir]

@limdes75

that because u're a dog! fuck with your all time book.

[limdes75]

@Zainalpasir

Since when PIG know how to use comms?!

Get a life Pig!

[C4rb0nF1br3]

@Zainalpasir dude wads ur problem...just watch the fucking movie and enjoy

[sometimesback]

my boyfriend is getting all the blisters from this shit. looks tough eh.

[thoburn]

ermm...r u sure the SOC is easy? with all the load and the distant u need to run b4 and after clearing the obstacles. I would say passing the SOC isnt difficult but going through it is like hell.

[danielchen87]

haha yeah by the time i hit the wall i was gasping... had to keep pushing the whole damn way

[Zaphenath4]

To NO4223M. What do you mean "for the sake of regional security?" That does NOT make sense. I think we are more at threat from the other ASEAN countries Then from countries that are not part ASEAN.

[Zaphenath4]

Please use your brain before you make comments that DON'T EVEN MAKE SENSE.

[gub121141]

i can do all of that stuff too easy =p

[Stapler78]

Done bit by bit, its all bloody easy. Do it all at the same time with sprinting before and after the obstacles and it becomes a biatch.

[Potatomoto]

ME TO!!!!

[Zaphenath4]

ME to ME to!

[danielchen87]

shack out......

[Zaphenath4]

I was acting stupid for fun...

[danielchen87]

lol i meant SOC is damn shack

[Zaphenath4]

Oh ok. But then why did you reply me?

[ChunxiWong]

As long as Singapore's Diplomacy is Successful, the SAF's mission is always accomplished. To win WITHOUT fighting.

[crisknight]

Dont ever comment when you doesnt undergo the training. It is not easy as you see. See is easy..

[haha7859]

balls shrink at jacob's ladder

[xfallenstar88x]

SHIT man... i hate swingtrainer. otherwise SOC wld be chicken feet for me. see la... when i was a little boy never go play monkey bar.

[raywon04]

Anyone knows who sang the song in the video?

[wsang]

Obese rec ran and finish SOC in 7min :) not that hard if an obese rec can do it in bmt... with the new fucking ccb sbo... tight like bra and so heavy with 1 water bottle + 2L water bag =.=''

[thoburn]

are u sure???

[ILUVBAKKUA]

wah this reminds me of the old times, my ROD was 92.

I rembr my ah neh OC siao on, wt best in everything. So whenever free always kena SOC, everytime the COS shouts "fall in for SOC" I will get clammy cold sweat. I really hate SOC the most & some months we have SOC every f**king day man.

The worse pt of soc I remember is after jump low ramp yur knees turn to jelly that's the where the cursing screaming and shouting starts.

SHAG OUT MAN!!! :0)

[lynninit]

HAHAHAHA! GAY! and look and the speed and way they walk down from the bars! LOL Any girls can do it im sure

But well, that's the way to go Singapore. We dont need our boys to be fit for war as they will too, run as far as they could when war comes.. TOO FRIGHTENING ALREADY!

[roastedfish]

kekeke... you sound angsty... you must be either

a) a girl who got dumped by a NS boy

b) a angry pes E guy who hates everything

cheerios... its only a video made in the 90s. chill ~

[GomuBoi]

is that all the traning we do in ns? im sure not....im gonna go in 5 yrs SOBS better get ready.......y they low wall low rope when is so high

[titanstryker]

any one got tips on how to survive the balancing log? its quite high,though my pti says to put your master leg out first,but i'm still a bit scared,i'll be doing it in 2 weeks time

[placestan]

Anyone tried Sungei Gedong camp's SOC? Horrible slope up just before you reach the low wall. Damn....but like all fellow male Singaporeans in combat units, the most funny thing is seeing someone stuck on the Jacob Ladder...makes your day more light-hearted each time...

[xsharksx]

during my NS days, our 1st few SOCs run, some of my camp mates ran up the jacobs ladder and stayed there. Getting "jelly legs". that was one of the fun memories i had when i was in ns some 15+ years also

[jpgorgon]

Lessee...I only know one formation who wear reddish pink color head gear! Thus, the Bandung color. :)

5.55...wow. I'll tip my beret for that fella!

[jpgorgon]

well, I ran the SOC over at Pasir Laba in 6:58. I think the motivation was to beat the Bandung who were running with us. Couldn't beat all of them though. One got just ahead! :p

[infant3]

I don't mean to be a show-off but during my hey days, mine was 6:34 one morning right after I was arrowed for cookhouse fatigue. Damn pissed off had to run with so much raging anger...stupid to vent it out on an obstacle course in Guillemard Camp.(The road which cuts through the camp right now was the starting point of the SOC. I heard somtime and old man, a PTI ran his SOC at 5:55. I couldn't believe it but after noticing that the obstacle course are meant for kids I'm not surprised at all!

[infant3]

BTW What do you mean by the term Bandung? My apologies ... haven't been out training for about 10 years already. =)

[jpgorgon]

I wonder what the fastest time recorded for an SOC is?

[infant3]

Depends on which SOC ground. The ones in Pulau Tekong is the easiest I find. The toughest should be at the old Guillemard Road, 1st Singapore Infantry Regiment.
