I remember during my time there was actually a recruit who shouted “go picakhu!!!” During the actual grenade throw and he got it so bad from the sergeants and the Encik 😂😂😂
These kids were brainwashed to hate and fight China, I am Overseas Chinese i know it very well the hatred the singaporean had toward China. It's sad that eventhough 70% of singaporean are of Chinese Descent, but they already brainwashed since their childhood to Hate China. Singaporean armed forces are trained by the american and with the help of the local indian descent singaporean they successfully brainwashed the majority of Chinese Descent to hate themselves. The day would come when these brainwashed Chinese with the help of the american will invade China and destroy their own Ancestral Land China.
HAHAHHAHA WHAT A LEGEND LOL!!!! Id LOVE to shake his hand.
You mean " p i k a c h u "
Haha legend 😂
Now use explosive attack
Also known as the day your platoon commanders and sergeants treat you the best 😂
True 🤣
Never fuck around with a man holding a weapon. Never.
pc chanting calmly "come on have a sense of urgency" lol, quite surreal.usually its shorter in the real context "walk somemore"
Haha first thing that made me feel uneasy like something is missing. Dang times have changed
lol it used to be knock it down with any sort of delay. wonder when the saf approve yoga leggings coming out?
Lol... "walk some more" even in the most calm and soft tone would immediately create an immense sense of urgency for everyone!
Walk... you like to walk right? During weekends, others book out, you can walk in camp
cue the "my grandma walk faster than you chao recruits"
During my live throw, my PC told us that our balls only drop once, but his would drop 44 times because he was the safety officer for the entire platoon :)
yeah mine was usually super nasty to us but on that day he spoke to us in a very sweet and gentle voice, "Recruit X, how are you feeling today? nervous? don't worry" lol
Haha when it comes to live ammo n nades usually they will be velly nice de. HAHAHAAH. NO CHOICE. DANGEROUS
@@lyhthegreat no choice bro the seg cfm damm scared one I heard from one my fren who went for this one his mates accidentally throw the safety pin first then the grenade lucky my fren still can come back and tell this storu
Wah this brings back memories 4 years ago. Remembered on the actual activity of throwing the grenade, the safety pin was jammed and I couldn't twist. The entire grenade throwing(from other platoons) was at a standstill and my sergeant(who was quite fit) had to spend 5-7 mins forcing the safety pin to be out.
Quote from my sergeant:
"When you throw the grenade, shout 'grenade!' Not 'fire in the hole', not 'frag', and not 'Pikachu I choose you!'"
LOL!
Because back in 2007 when i was doing my NS, some idiot shouted "Pikachu, I choose you"
@@Risedawn n what did the encik or 3 stripes say? :)
@@SGBalackuda most likely something unprintable in Hokkien
Isit pdpa? Now enter Bay no neeed say nric alr
Feeling nostalgic watching this, really enjoyed my bmt training still miss those tough but wonderful days, 1998 batch nee soon mohawk✌🏾 majulah singapura
Have fun and stay safe. See the purpose and grow to love what you have to do. Getting nervous and placing emphasis on the procedures over the actual execution are part of recruit lives at times. As you grow quickly into your personal dispositions more at this age, you discover more about yourself, the strengths and limitations, the passion and less passionate. Contribute in ways you can.
The NCOs are so loving and caring. Back in the days, the recruit's helmet dunno already kena whack how many times even during dummy throw.
It’s on TV mah…
The best part of grenade throwing is being the next detail when the grenade from the previous detail didnt explode and getting to see the bomb clearing personal going in like a boss to clear the unexploded bomb
fun meh waste time sia? have to wait very long for them to come in my case
@@lyhthegreat they need to wait about 5 - 10min to see if the grenade will explode on its own so will take quite long actually
@@johnlim8379 don't know, mine took like 1-2hrs..
@@lyhthegreat wow...yours should be long ago, cause my like 10 years ago and is cleared by certis personal if i dun remember wrongly
@@johnlim8379 mine was in 2011
brings back memories of my bmt. now the bmt sergeant that always fk me become insurance agent lol....
he got try to sell insurance to you ?lol
U don’t buy his insurance u knock it down 😂🤣😭
@@harikrish6317 maybe he made his ex sgt knock it down 100 b4 buying one insurance...😂
@@muhammadridzwan5909 he change his ig profile to a insurance one, then i reply to one of his story and he blocked me 😁🤣
@@poliewill2909 LOL with that attitude, only luck can help with his insurance sales
Ah yes the good old times whr we just clap for the ppl running for 2.4 during my lunch break😂
bring back alot of memories..i enlisted back in 2008 cant believe everything still so similar , met Sgt Arun back then in Sispec Delta
same company bro, he was 2nd sgt back then
@@eugehet sup bro, Yea guess so can't rem the exact thing already too many yrs. time flies MR already
still remember back then someone's grenade didn't went off and we had to wait damm long for them to use the c4 or claymore(can't remember) to detonate the unexploded grenade...and when it went off it was loud, way louder than the grenades and it shook the ground even though we were sitting at the training shed far outside from the bay.
Yess! Correct haha. And the person who went in to detonate it just wear no.4 only. No fear
I am a Singaporean citizen by birth and I am very grateful to my country for giving me the chance to serve in the army. I don't want to be like Hong Kong SAR where residents don't serve NS and don't own their own territory. Here in Singapore, I am given something to fight for, whether is it a public housing apartment or a family I call my own, and I am happy to defend my own nation. I pledge to defend the constitution with my life! Thank you!
Wow...your comment puts you in the running for Soldier of the Year award 😉
Good, do ur part and rebel against the PAP !!!
Your Apartment Costs you 6 Digit Figure, plus its only 99 Year Leasehold, Then you still have to pay Property Tax & Service & Conservancy Charges; Lastly, there is Women's Charter in Singapore & Women enjoy the same Citizenship benefits without doing a single day of NS..
Self hating Chinese detected ha ha ha ha
They pay you 600 to say this?
My BMT unit had a guy that throw right below the figure and blew it up. We all cheered like mad until kana scolded
back in 2006 - I was a safety driver in tekong and one of the recruit - throws the pin instead of the grenade hahahahaha it was hilariously scary. He did throw the grenade safely at the end.
10:06 when you realize you still need to go for the run
i remember a story where a ranger held the training , after someone threw the a real grenade, it didnt explode , the ranger just chill, walk over and pick up the grenade and check why it didnt explode .
Brings back good memories when one guy in my company didn't throw the grenade properly and it ended up being a blind so the entire grenade conduct got delayed by 30 mins and as you can imagine it must have been an awkward 30 min between him and the officer in the bay both crouched waiting for the blind to be cleared lol
Haha i saw it few times during my time. EOD went in and detonate it
if one thinks grenade is loud, wait till the EOD team detonate it with a C4.
"Yes encik", the recruits said calmly at 16:18. Can they be ANY softer? 🤣
3:35 interesting to see a BMT Sergeant with a Sniper Badge
“Come on have a sense of urgency”. This line is only said to reservist NSmen and not NSFs.
Well done Singapore!!!
My friend shouted yeet during grenade and he got 21 days SOL.
HAHAHHAHAH Sounds like a super Hilarious guy. F.ucking MADLAD LOL 😂😂😂
Was it a similar case? I heard some rumors from BMT that there was a recruit who got a few days DB for shouting Yeet during Grenade throw
@@anonymousmaximus7289 yea think so
As an American veteran, I see similarities and I see a LOT of differences. We got yelled at constantly. Our ancestry, heritage, species... everything about us was questioned and mocked. Also, we yell "Frag out!", "Smoke out"', etc. when throwing grenades. That way, friendly forces know whether to take cover or advance when appropriate. In our doctrine, just yelling "Grenade!" could mean a frag or a flash-bang. One will kill you, the other will startle.
The yelling of "grenade out" makes a lot of sense, I'm not sure why we don't do that. haha. Well, as SAF is mainly a conscript army plus other cultural differences, I think there would be a ton of differences between our army and the US army which is a full professional army. I feel that as a conscript we only have 2 years to train so we definitely would not be on par with a professional army. Generally, every male serves,. But the government understands that not everyone aspires to be a soldier or has the aptitude for it, so a lot has been put in place to ensure that those that go through it can get through it safely. It is still tough and vigorous, and there is usually more shouting which is usually not shown so much in these videos. I think the more specialised professional SAF units are trained more similarly to the US army or other professional armies.
We do use those terms. These are recruits at basic training and are taught at the most basic level. Once they move on to more advance training, handle more equipments and weapons, they'll learn all the different terms.
@@notsuperpete gotcha! In a way, that makes sense. Two slightly different doctrines, with the same objective.
@@johnwong381 I definitely recognize that in a mainly conscript Army, not everyone wants to be there. I noticed a lot more personal goal-oriented mentorship at your basic training level, that gets reserved for when our servicemembers get to their first unit outside of training.
That said, the times I worked alongside the Singaporean Forces, I was impressed by their professionalism. I was also fortunate enough to visit your beautiful island a couple of times.
@@DILLIGAF2101 It is interesting to see how different militaries work. I've only interacted with some US Navy personnel during my service. They were very friendly and encouraging. Do visit again!
Mindef letting other nations see the kind of soldiers we have 🤣
These fellows are having a good time compared to my time. We were whacked prior to the throw and basically taught only to twist the pin in the right direction without any other trainers nor instructions. And discipline was paramount in such exercises.
Those were the days we thought we were suffering.....& now, we appreciate the experience!
Every grenade now has a "XP" sticker on the container, this is after that incident in the past of the grenade accident.. the "XP" means X-RAY Passed.. because all live grenades, are X-rayed to ensure there is a "Fuse" inside and that Fuse is not "broken" or missing. the fuse is the "timer" that will be that "6 second" thing that you count down after you throw it.
Every live grenade is also 100% inspected before issuing, (not like a batch inspection so if you have 160 grenades to be thrown, all 160 of them are removed before hand and inspected before the item is even issued to the unit.. so yes.. it wont have "foreign matter" or sand or whatever on it.. and all live grenades will be at the newest condition for issuance.. any "old" grenades with "rusty" ring or slight crack, would not have passed the inspection to be issued in the first place.
is there a change to the timeline? i recall we have to go through field camp first then can do grenade throw eh
During my time someone threw the grenade in a puddle of water and it didn’t explode
They called the bomb suit come and put c4. The explosion is way way way bigger than a grenade. It’s so big that the viewing gallery mini glass shacked
14:19 walao shag leh.
bmt platoon IC.
if unit , at least got used to army life liao
Boomers in the comment section here 🙄
Move on with the times, so what when the recruits have a better life in BMT? Isn’t it better for the generations after us?
Dunno. Their generation is ignorant and toxic like that. They’re extremely proud of suffering, worship it, even.
11:32 forgot to censor the swearing lol
Why does the acting at that part seem so bad LMAO
@@PAINTITBLACKGAMING I think the guy on the left doesn't have a local excent ah
the moment when SAF stop using jack neo.
The moment when reality is way off from video
After watching USAF BMT, this looks like a walk in the park.
Please never ever shout "Yeet" unless you wanna try out the detention barrack after your throw LOL
Sergeant: So you know what to do?
Recruit: Yah
Sergeant: Yah what yah, yah yah papaya?
During my time, specs don’t enter bay during live throw. It’s always the officers
Nice 1 min
Pokemon, I choose you!
Encik coy really slack sia, I remember my first bookout, I’m dark like charcoal. They seem to be pretty well sheltered
Nothing to prove. As compared to a fellow NSF commissioned officers who is roughly within their age range and have to show a certain amount of "use rank" to gain authority.
.
The difference between someone who is working a regular job, takes it seriously from a safety point of view as long as objectives are met and recruits has good training
versus
an NSF trainer or commander who is still serving, training their peers who are within their age range and have to gain authority somehow, with their only goal is to avoid getting screwed.
during my bmt, live grenade throwing was cancelled, so i didn't get to throw grenade at all
POV Tyler at 19:13 “I expected there would be balls flying out like what does he mean?😂
i think he expected ball bearings instead of fragmentation to come out of the grenade
twist the pin, pull out the pin, ready to throw, throw out the pin!
They still have the bangalore torpedo ? That one then Gaolut! 🤣 3 SIR 8th mono 1997 😀
memang free
How come the Soldier say cap tight @ 12:55, So basically the Sergeant lied in Episode 1 about being able to change the Jockey Cap Size??
Isaac could be in OCS by now i think. Lol.
The way he care for his men than himself.
21:14
Tyler Bahan
after 4 episode i still havent heard NEHMIND U KNOCK IT DOWN.. or a simple fk you.. dam life is so good now in NS
this one is one of those welfare companies sia, dont have 2LTs
They probably edited it all out. It is not bmt if there's no scoldings or punishments
Infront Camera, cannot anyhow fk them up
Well I am not surprised given this was an encik coy. I have friends in encik coys that says they get a shit ton of welfare.
Personally I was in mono (For BMT only la) and hence I got to experience a SIR coy. It was hell and rather I shld say, apart from plt 4 which is held by a NSF PS and a regular PC, the rest of the 3 platoons all had crazy regular PS and the NSF 2LTs just follow suit.
@@NMLE ya, mono intake bmt is like hell cause they dun need follow bmt training protocol
No more grenade assault course or something? Haha
19:12 Too much movies
I think that's a different grenade
its just training grenade, not actual grenade that can kill
In the saf, rsaf or rsn anything blue is a dummy...
Now recruit talk to sgt like talking to their best friend 😂😂
time changed, parents will lodge complaint now
Nowadays the recruits book out on Friday evening right? During my NSF time in the late 1990s, it was still on Saturday noon.
10:20 is that WO Nathan from OCS?
So do NS men get ear pro? Since Fast type helmets are built for them. Fast helmets sacrifice extra coverage for comms equipment and weight saving as compared to typical ach/ech or mich 2000 type of helmet.
we get those blue earplugs you can see in the video
@@ironboy3245 I see but then whats the point of having high cuts tho. Apart from weight saving, if you dont run ear pro, why sacrifice extra frag protection?
@@COMET_C01 it's literally for weight. The old helmets got in the way of a lot of earphones as well, like those for radios and got in the way of glasses as well. We'd take them off whenever we could because it was too hot and heavy. The newer helmets are significantly higher cut so we can actually see with glasses now and radio users have no more excuse for taking their helmets off
@@ironboy3245 Ah so you do you headphone style of ear pros or for comms systems. I’m just wondering if Soldiers are not using such systems then why not just use typical mich,ACH style of helmet. You get what I mean?
@@COMET_C01 yeah some of our comm systems are pretty old with headsets. they are upgrading them though
During war, need to repeat the "procedure" one by one and shout the ring twist, ring pull, pin out anot? 😂😂😂 . By the time u finish the procedure... 🤔
Doubt so, as enemy sniper love when you said that during war time.
Cause the enemy sniper is able to identify and kill you and your platoon mates
2:23 dunno why I laugh out of sudden
They don't have 2LT platoon Commander? Only Seargent and encik give instructions
The encik (2WO) is the platoon commander.
@@sagi271190 my BMT time 2nd Lieutenant is the Platoon Commander.. 3WO is the CSM.. Captain is the Officer Commander.. 3rd Seargent is the Section Commander.. 2nd Seargent Platoon Seargent
@@SpongeBobSquarePants89 Some companies have warrant officers holding the traditional officer positions (OC/PC)
I would have thought that the 2LTs were supposed to be the ones at the actual grenade throwing bay
@@sagi271190 i see.. coz my time The Seargent and 2nd lieutenant whom do the talking and give command. warrant officer n captain just see things and observe dont talk much one they only work 8 to 5 unless high key like Firing n Field camp they will stay in
The way they pre the grenade, SG soldier already die
any tekong spec here ?
is it nervous everytime the rec throw a live grenade ?
sure have la , you never watch full metal jacket ?
@@sdqsdq6274 haha
Why the helmets looking so weird? Like a mullet.
This is a new gen helmet. Their ILBV is also the new gen.
@@mrcannotfindaname I like their new ILBV. But the helmet doesn't provide much protection I feel.
@@mysticery That helmet took a bit of inspiration from Future Assault Shell Technology helmet, those ear cutout allows wearing combat headsets.
Actually I kind of wished SG our bmt grenade throw got the proper throwing technique and test to see how far you throw.
Maybe just with dummy , although ya i fully understand as conscripted army abit difficult and for safety
stick grenade is more easier to throw than these round grenades
@@Tony.L9793 ah
dont think they want to focus on grenade throwing, since we have only maybe one or two on hand , shooting accurately more impt

Can change sar21 to mp-40 a not.
That would be a considerable step back. I think we should expedite the entry into service of the new BR18
AR 15 rifles are better to handle than the bulky Sar 21
@@Tony.L9793 bullpups are not meant to be bulky. A SAR 21 with a 500mm barrel is about 20% shorter overall than an M16A1/A2/A3/A4 with the same barrel length. Perhaps you're more accustomed to the M4A1, HK416 or Mk18 CQBR

Why now safety dont need wear helmet?
watching these really gets me thinking how dull and boring this batch's bmt must've been, if they came to film my coy during bmt it would've been like something straight out of The Office
undeliberate planning, illegal arty drill in a shellscrape full of water during outfield + a 3km charlie mike after it when we thought we're returning straight to coyline, theft cases, beef between the different coys in the batallion (was in a mono intake), batallion games day etc etc
during real war times, nobody will say these kind of commands when throwing grenades, just throw straight away and shout "FRAG OUT"
thts y its bmt
lol someone play too much counter strike.
Sigh, when real war comes someone dont dare to shoot back then all will die
i would just say Yeet
Young men: If you watching this and your parents have some disposable income. Get a higher eduction in other country and dont come back
Parents: If your son dies during NS or Reservist. The payout is peanuts. Wake up yr idea and send them away for good. This GOV has betrayed us ages ago.
