    1:46 damn even an *"NDU" Diver officer* finds it tough even from just a warmup.

    • @johnwig285
      @johnwig285 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Let me explain why. The warmup consist of back-to-back hammering. The main event which is combat swim, is like a walk in the park for these divers. They would rather swim than kena hammered, which is why he thinks it is tough.

    As an ex regular myself. Mostly the candidates were regular specialists and officers. Regardless of any ranks . All kena tekan together like recruit and can be worst. SOTF is a breed of man of steel air/land/sea operations expert but one thing that they unable to compete with the SAS (British special air services) is the Climate control and altitude operations given that Singapore has only one seasons
    SAS undergo more toughest training but added more. E.g reconnaissance on top of mountainous area, mountain repelling, cold combat training (snow season) they cover training over 100KM of land..

      That is a unit patch, it just means he is posted there for a tour of duty, regardless of his vocation (can be Cdo, Guards maybe really a Log guy). His vocation is unknown (can't see his vocation tab on his collar). But whatever vocation, whichever unit, deep respects to him and the group for even volunteering to go through JSFS!

      someone from the malay community has to step up if you want malay representation. and really fight for it because it's never going to be easy in the first place and the likelihood of failure will always be there.
      .
      so instead of saying no malay as usual, why not push for it and motivate and say malays can do it, we just need to push ourselves harder and fight for what we want.
      .
      blaming and complaining will not solve the lack of malay representation, the fight and the desire to reach their goals regardless of their limitation due to their skin colour is what we need. the minority need to push hard.
      .
      the question now is, who is the one within the malay community willing to go through these impossible challenges?
