Every Singaporean Son III Ep 3: Firers, watch your front!

The recruits hit the live-firing range and put their shooting skills to the test. Will they hit their target or miss the mark? Sometimes all it takes is a little help from an encouraging trainer. #ESS3 #EverySingaporeanSon #NS55

Let me leave you with the words of my commander that helped me through BMT and NS: It is always hard at the start, harder in the middle and hardest just before the end. But remember that millions of NS men have gone through what you go through and have reached the end. So just do your best each day and before you know it you will also be celebrating on the day of your POP/ORD/MR.

Fellow ex-BP here of this featured coy (Dragon 01/15). It will be relatively chill, compared to the Enhanced guys who'll have to rush all the time. (Esp your first 2 months daily PT phase, before the true soldiering stuff starts) Plenty of time to know your mates (and cmdrs) well, and also see yourself get trimmed down into good shape. All the best, now that you're in!

[@sreeraj1980]

Not everyone is trained to become a soldier. But when I was a recruit, the instructions are easy to follow as there were very repetitive by the commanders. It is hard to go wrong unless you panic and mess up. I don't blame those who do, afterall not everyone can manage the stress of training to be a soldier. We are all different!

[@kialim]

Will never forget the pleasure of firing M16, SAW and M203. The worst part of the live firing experience is the rifle cleaning and picking up empty cartridges :D

[@VOPS33]

The most tedious thing about live firing during my time is the preparation… filling up the sandbags and carrying up the tonner, filling up the jerry cans and carrying up the tonner, take the GS tables from the store and carrying up the tonner… and at the end of the day you have to bring those things down from the tonner and wash them!

[@nicrome]

It’s intriguing how after so many lbv iterations, they went back to the old school sbo

[@MelancholicDays]

because it simply sucks. it's bulky, heavy, and worst of all, traps heat. they went to all the trouble and research to create a lightweight SAF uniform that dissipates heat, then basically throws all that effort away with the lbv. most countries try to make the vest as small and compact as possible (see US for example), but for some reason ours covers the entire upper body. a majority of the area isnt even covered by the bullet plate, it's just wasted cloth, especially the sides.

[@aerithofmyore]

​​@@MelancholicDayswhat's happening here is the SAF making equipment that does not suit it's conditions. In a war scenario, Singapore would be fighting a war of urban combat, naval incursions and most importantly jungle conditions. A light plate carrier is the way to go. For extreme jungle situations, a chest rig like the side webbing the British has

[@Syn741]

i want their ILBV.... so much more cooling

[@jayshen84]

For the first try, Jasnam is really good. I think he is putting too much pressure on himself. The night shoot has so many variables more than the day that distorts your aimming.

[@SGBalackuda]

I always loved my firing sessions with SAR 21 and SAW! :) Felt like Rambo!

[@dicksonng5305]

I always get high when firing during NS and even during ICT. The smell of the carbon, the recoil of the weapon and when you hit your target gives you the adrenaline. Looking forward for my this year ICT live firing!

[@fs6086]

I shoot M16A1/S1, M4 Carbine, SAW, GPMG, SAR80 and SAR21 when I was a regular soldier. I still remember the smell of the gunpowder till now . Been into SAF shooting contingent Team and went SAF shooting competition SAFISAM in year 2000 to compete various combat unit . our team lost to commandos. They are really pros in the shooting btw, doesn't really matter but the experience gain was very meaningful. I wish i could shoot again, but MR already. Miss my army days ..

Back in those days 1980’s we all used M16 just love it in my recruit days as I am from 41SAR, we went to Tekong the same shooting range as today the whole place was pitched dark and looked haunted, back then there’s a team that need to do BUTT party which we have to carry those targets up as in those days everything was manual and that is right after your shooting, every section had to perform that duty,reminiscing those good old days it was really tough but fun and our army buddies still kept in touch till today as we are all in our sixties. Truly a life time experienced that money cannot buy, we really treasured this kind of comradeship.
