scouts are like cowboys... they had to speed most of the time... like the chinese 八百里加急
I never had any idea how scouts worked. To me, scouts are always on motorbike. It was only when I was at Wallaby that our own scout team captured the enemy scouts. We were a reservist bridgade and the enemy was a active NS unit of young boys. The boys were glad to be captured. Their backpack was easily over 25kg and they had trekked their way from their CP to ours
it is not even mid-year and SAF has so many deaths and injuries.

infantry/guardman scouts different from armour lah. armour scout also not only scrambler but mostly on IFV. scout training very tough compare to us trooper kia but once pass out, they have much easier life than us troopers. They and the mortar platoon will always allocate to be combat team enemy aka Opfors. they provide matchbox while mortar become enemy straight legs.
brigade have a delicated scout company, the BRC. but people from BRC normally not armour mono-intake but privates from BMTC. when i attach tekong, many of the recruits posted to 8SAB BRC, so i saw them again after my attachment at tekong ended.
Scouts like to complain a lot. I know one reservist scout CO (CPT) who complained how he lost all his scouts units because the air force officer did not give him helicopters.
Another son died...sad.
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has suspended all field training from Friday till 15 May, following the death of a full-time national serviceman who was involved in an accident.
3rd Sergeant (3SG) Tan Mou Sheng was travelling in a scout jeep as part of an exercise at Marsiling training area at 6.50am on Friday when the driver lost control of the vehicle and the jeep overturned.
The 20-year-old instructor was found pinned under the vehicle.
The driver, 3SG Tan Cavin, and the front seat passenger, 3SG Hong Dickson, were wearing their seat belts and remained within the vehicle at the time of the incident. The left rear passenger, 3SG Ow Yong Wei Long, was found away from the vehicle unharmed.
Despite the best efforts by the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital surgical team, 3SG Tan Mou Sheng succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 1.56pm.
Following the incident, the Army has declared a safety time-out from Friday till 15. During this period, all Army field training will be suspended.
The objective of the safety time-out is to remind commanders, trainers and instructors on the safety system to ensure safety measures are in place and reiterate to commanders and servicemen that safety is also an individual responsibility.
The commanders overseeing the exercise have been suspended.
The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late 3SG Tan Mou Sheng.
MINDEF and the SAF are assisting the family in their time of grief and are investigating the incident. The Police is also conducting a separate investigation.
3SG Brandon Tan, a fellow instructor, said: "3SG Tan Mou Sheng was a fighter and an outgoing person. He was a resolute person and a good friend. We will miss him."

Actually all these non-critical roles we should just staff them with foreign talent.
Look at those videos of the Americans sent to Iraq.. they all looked like high school drop-outs and "m&d-blood". Not many pure whites.
It is common sense to send FTs to die at the front line in a combat situation. PAP should learn.
