[zer902]

what song is that nice song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[evoranger]

lol.......

[Altarcraft]

" Woah fucking shiok! " Hahahahaha anyone else heard that in the background at the 1:32 mark?

[chocozaku1997]

Are they shooting real bullet ?

[shotingstars]

hi am just wondering i got posted to 6sir, what does 6sir have? and what happens after BMT ? do we get posted to some other place?

[cyberpioneertv]

@shotingstars Hey there. 6 SIR is the 6th Battalion, Singapore Infantry Regiment, so your vocation would probably be Infantry. If your BMT's with 6 SIR, it's likely that you'll continue to be in the unit after BMT.

[shotingstars]

@cyberpioneertv hi thanks for the reply, am kind of going army soon but am totaly clueless about it so after my BMT i will most likely be in 6sir until i finish my 2 years? is it possible to join like snipers or some other group after bmt? and serve it till my 2 years is up ?

[cyberpioneertv]

@shotingstars If your BMT's with 6 SIR, you'll most likely stay there for your 2 years of National Service. In general, your posting during your NS depends on various factors including your personal fitness, as well as the operational requirements of the SAF.

[mburg777]

Can we see the Ranger Course PLEASE? if not, please do Commando!!!!!

[zhengyizen]

how about making the cut, airforce pilots!

[MAHLANG]

[gerlyn129]

COMMANDO VIDEO PLS !

[FlyingAngel10]

Hey, what is the song used in the ending of the video??

[shawawawaw]

what is the soundtrack that is used at the end ... goes something like 'we can fly, we'll leave the world behind....'

[MAHLANG]

There used to be separate courses for officer and nco. Now all commanders go through GCC. Men will go through GAIT. 3 GDS is 3rd Battalion Singapore Guards.

[Devilshit]

Will there be a officer conversion course?

[MAHLANG]

@Devilshit there is one going on now at 3 GDS.

[Devilshit]

@MAHLANG Sorry I don't understand 3 GDS. Can you please explain? I meant will there be a video series like the GCC just that it is the officer course.

[cyberpioneertv]

@Devilshit

What @MAHLANG is saying is correct - both the officers and specialists go through the Guards Conversion Course (GCC) together, while the enlisted men go through the Guards Advanced Infantry Training (GAIT).

3 GDS refers to the 3rd Battalion, Singapore Guards.

If you are asking about how to become an officer, you have to go through the nine-month Officer Cadet Course in the Officer Cadet School. We currently do not have a video series on the Officer Cadet Course.

[Devilshit]

@cyberpioneertv Oh thanks for the replies. Because I would really like to know how to become an officer and about signing on as a regular as an officer. Not to mention, see what they have to go through in officer school. Thanks anyway! Anyway, will there a video series on the Officer Cadet Course in the near future, maybe?

[gladamari]

@cyberpioneertv By right officer GCC and Specialist GCC are different as the aspectation various.

[MrFerozswat]

The best of all Guards unit.. 702 Gds (10th Mono Intake) Best Combat/ Infantry Unit 02/03. And yeah dont worry we're still an active unit and always ready to protect anytime if called upon!

[vicsnoopy]

@MrFerozswat I thought 10th Mono is 762 Guards? Btw... You guys made us suffer lah... We suffered like hell because of your Mono... 11th Mono 1st Guards here btw...

[MAHLANG]

When the last episode coming out? Can upload today? Can't wait....

[cyberpioneertv]

@MAHLANG Hi, the last episode is coming out this Thursday at 6pm.

[baven522]

@cyberpioneertv i am still waitingt for it !!!!!!!!!!!!

[MAHLANG]

I like the last 20 seconds bestb

[scholesville]

great series... but faster upload of each episode will be much appreciate...

[bczh1993]

Please have another series on the commandoes or naval divers

[kenryou89]

Congraz to the serviceman @3:41 for Negligence Discharge (According to NS context that shooting without aiming through the scope).

[dermapteratenuis]

@kenryou89

Dude, he's using his LAD to aim his shots. That's a perfectly acceptable practice.

[kenryou89]

@dermapteratenuis Ha...okay...didn't notice that.

[iantan13]

@kenryou89 using LAD to aim is acceptable. have you gone for ATP? combat shoot? it is almost impossible to aim at night with the scope if the background of the target is dark... hence Laser Aiming Device (LAD) is recommended.

[hmmwvj]

@iantan13 That's correct. The SAR-21's sight reticle is not lit. The M-16 would have been more useful at night because front sight post was illuminated with tritium.

[voiceoflove]

salute to those who volunteer ^^

wasnt posted to guards unit no chance to get the tab and the elite badge

[hmmwvj]

One GCC spans 7 episodes over 7 weeks? Yawn...

[SpecJack15]

Using smoke grenades at night? Seldom see liddat. And can the laser sights pierce through the smoke? Just curious to know coz elite infantry utilize infrared goggles to enable them to see through the smoke.

[iantan13]

@SpecJack15 they use smoke to move from building to building when the distance between buildings are big. Furthermore the UO area is lit up by lamp posts. lasers are capable of passing through smoke. but usually they have a MG team posted somewhere that has a favorable arc of fire/ covering position to create a distraction/cover fire for people crossing.

[n3wh0pe]

Whats the song of the starting video? :O just wondering.

[iantan13]

Unless your a platoon medic or platoon runner (signaler) then it would be voluntary for you I guess.

[iantan13]

Ya they go through the same course together, officers and specs alike. Because all of them would need to know what their role is and what each other's role is, even durin planning and execution I guess... Not too sure bout that part.

[windzter]

All spec and officers are treated equally in gcc... So it doesn't matter whether u r spec or officer... We still do all the things together...

[therealfakeAlphabet]

GCC is to induct both new Specs and Officers fresh out of OCS/SCS right?

So as course trainees, are the Officers subject to the same training conditions as the specs; ie small unit tactics and indiv fieldcraft, drag tyres, must stand in line and do water parade that kinda thing? Just curious.

[dtwc4]

@therealfakeAlphabet In the recent courses they go through the same training as each other, but in the past I heard their GCC were separated into Specialist and Officers.

The only difference I can think of is during the planning and issuing of orders where the officers are more involved

[gladamari]

@therealfakeAlphabet Nope. it depend on the course date. u dont really goes into GCC once u are in the unit.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

nice video

[zombie766]

some of you guys are really stupid. why would you think they are using real bullets? if thats the case, wouldn't our soldiers already died? use some common sense before you post, little kids who didn't serve in the army yet.

[physika]

I wonder what does the female 2LT do in the GCC...anyway great video ! Although I ain't no guardsman, the video based in tekong reminded me of my times back in that island 7 yrs ago ;)

[mllcg]

Is GCC a volunteer vocation? or assigned?

[myrs4]

@mllcg If you are posted to a Guards unit as a combat vocationalist, you'll need to go through a conversion course to get the tab. The only exception that i know of so far is the Signals company in one of the Guards brigades. But all soldiers are still welcome to join the conversion course, subject to slots available.

Guards Conversion Course (GCC) is for commanders ie 3SG and above. For men their conversion course is called Guards Advanced Infantry Training (AIT)...

[dirtMonster]

one thing i learnt while doing fibua, fight smart, use smoke grenade and smoke those mofos out!

[iantan13]

GCC never ends!

[anyhow1419]

wats the song played at end does any1 knw ?

[bulldozer369]

Wow. I want to be one

[fsasava]

1 person didn't made it to the finale.

[arronlee33]

Guardsmen are trained to survive in War.

War is filled with uncertainties & surprises.

Guardsmen know that the only constant is Change.

Ready To Strike!!!

[voiceoflove]

any medics trained specialist go for GCC?

[brianbenitez]

@voiceoflove why leh?

[frozensoulification]

@voiceoflove Yes, 01/09 GCC there was a medic spec who joined in for the conversion.

[iantan13]

@frozensoulification ya that medic spec was my coy medic, 3SG leonard :)

[myrs4]

@voiceoflove If you are talking about medical centre medics, yes they can volunteer. During my NSF times, there were 2 medics (both are CPL) from the medical centre (not Battalion) who have the Tab.

Medical Officers can also volunteer for the course. For all other vocations other than Guards, Guards Conversion Course is voluntary, subject to slots available.

[youcantseeshunyu]

@voiceoflove 3sg hammerson is a medic spec from 3gds

[MAHLANG]

Well said, Guards is about being part of this great brotherhood!

[SierraWhiskeyTango]

Guards,salute you la.

[Brydanlim]

Can post videos on commandos?

[XIII2010]

@Brydanlim make this top comment!!!!!!  so that they will thinking about it. LIKE Pls

[danoob2110]

Are those really real casualties?

[sLicKVertigO]

@danoob2110 yes, they were shot.

[danoob2110]

@sLicKVertigO ouch..

[desdes24]

@sLicKVertigO who they fight against? i saw infantry and this guards they go into a building and open fire i thought they were just shooting air/wall O_O they got wear bulletproof vest??

[sLicKVertigO]

@desdes24 They are fighting against an unknown force... Gun fire came from nowhere, hence there are number of casualties.

[desdes24]

@sLicKVertigO so its unknown that who is attacking them?? i thought its arranged by guards seargeant etcs??

[sLicKVertigO]

@desdes24 Oh the training was plan by guards but they were intercepted... its like all of a sudden they were attack... very scary.

[iantan13]

@desdes24 probably 1GDS people? coz 3GDS men are still in GAIT phase of training

[lkskeith]

@desdes24 HHAAH what bulletproof vest, it is training and not real gun fight. they don't shoot blindly so there should be a target for them to aim. Too much to reveal on youtube so they didn't record it?

[desdes24]

@lkskeith so what they're using is not real bullets? if not they would've get shot already right? they only sound like it but blank bullets?

[lkskeith]

@desdes24 they are using blanks bullet, gives you the effect of shooting a real bullet, close to it. at least better than going "bang bang bang, bang bang". hahah but still, they have to be properly geared up for trainings.

[desdes24]

@lkskeith hahahah i got tricked by sLicKVertigO too. i thought they were real casualties -_-'' so i thought they would have worn bulletproof vests and using real bullets. if not they were shot by real bullets thats over hehe

[iantan13]

@desdes24 nope no bulletproof vests, they are using blanks, and if cadre see that trainees are not using proper cover during attack, or they taking too long to assault the UO area, they will declare casualties so that trainees will panic. This will allow cadre to see if they can react under stress.

[cyberpioneertv]

@danoob2110 Hi there, @sLicKVertigO is messing with you :) They aren't real casualties - during the exercise the cadres will assess the performance and "declare" certain individuals as casualties, sometimes because they failed to take proper "cover" from "enemies firing"

[AHHUAT2]

how come no night vision goggles? 

[sLicKVertigO]

@AHHUAT2 Because they never toggle night vision.

[iantan13]

@AHHUAT2 not practical if you are already assaulting, plus, by that point, your eyes have already adjusted to the darkness and if you breach a room, you will still be able to see. been there done that :) Furthermore, we always breach and at the same time while breaching, flash the torchlight. This will "stun" the enemy because a sudden burst of bright light in an already dark area will temporarily "blind" them.

[iantan13]

@iantan13 oh ya, also NVGs have a certain degree of zoom, so it will be quite hard to estimate and judge distance whilst using and assaulting. MG teams however have a nighthawk scope, it toggles black hot or white hot, allowing MG teams who always provide intense support fire to whack anyone sneaking up or enemies on rooftops or in the rooms through the windows.

[baven522]

Well Done my SG3 !!!!!!
