    If the cameras weren't there, everyone would be asking each other "Want to eat my bird?" and other such puerile jokes.18, 19 years old, middle of nowhere, sure to have one.

    In my JCC, I cooked my quail by boiling it in just water just like this vid. But the soup turned out to be really bland :( I suggest you to cook it with maggi seasoning or just roast it over the fire. Whatever you do, DON'T burst the gall bladder hahaha

    I was from JCC class of '90. Hang tough you guys, whatever it takes to survive. Knowing abit about plant and insect species helps as both are easier to obtain in the jungle. The earthworms are edible too, if you can get pass the squirming part. Forget about the fish, their presence is dependant on the time of the year.

    @alexius818 Před 11 lety

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe last regulation for JCC was jungle hat or jockey cap while navigating. River swim does not require helmet but is been a long time since i've done it so i may be wrong. Surviving phase, only rifle needs to be with you at all times and life vest while doing activities along the river edge. Helmet only required when setting up your long antenna as you've gotta throw a weighted string into the canopy

  • @AlecGoh
    @AlecGoh Před 11 lety +2

    As it is JCC - they were explicitly allowed to not wear helmet. Further, TRS does not state that you must wear helmet at all times in a forested area.

    Probably they change the syllabus for JCC again but when I was there, we had to surrender our ground sheets. It is made so that cadets will thatch or weave their own shelter for their A frames and fire place. Apparently, in this video, it is shown that they have yet to make their roof and even used black tape as lashings for the fireplace.

    Killing a bird to keep you alive. Thank god, you have something to eat. SOF Jungle Survival Course, you can't imagine what we eat. Your instructor is very good to let you set fire to cook. Remember the rule, you set a fire in the jungle. You are giving your position away and Sniper can take you down in 14football field away. Good that you guys made it....a lot more to go ahead...Good Luck!! (The more you sweat in PeaceTime, the less you bleed in war)

    This is not BMT..Its OCS and those are officer cadets. You can get here from BMT if you do well and don't wayang (suck up to your commanders) and do well in SIT test where they put you in different situations and mark you based on your actions and leadership

    @TheoricalSoul Před 11 lety +2

    Well that could be true. But given the differences between Army now and then, where in the past worst case scenarios are presented, the Army now focuses more on practicality and realism. Just imagine, would you surrender your ground sheet to anyone when real jungle survival comes to play? Why use lashings when you have black tape that quicken stuff so much more?
