The initial excitement of being selected for Officer Cadet School (OCS) - the only pathway to becoming an officer in the Singapore Armed Forces - soon gives way to feelings of uncertainty and nervousness. Am I good enough? What am I doing this for? Cadets Shawn Chng and Sean Lai discover that the answer to those questions is the first step in their 9-month journey.
Produced and directed by Dom Ow.

''now it will be 265 days, then it will be 265 hours, then it will be 265 minutes, and then 265 seconds.'' this is the single best motivation line ever.

Wow, every series by One Dash 22 just gets better and better!

Don't forget those in mono intake as well. 2 years of hardship + 10 years of NSmen... I m proud of u guys !

@Pandemonia 12 лет назад

memories.. OCS has been the best time of my army life

@vangabass 12 лет назад

Somewhat true brother, it's also due to the fact that since the training tempo is very fast paced in a training institute, long term service bearers in the instructorship role may suddenly leave a huge void when they suddenly leave after say ie. 3 years. The NSF instructor can serve his time with one batch, pass his knowledge down and still leave without impacting much of the tempo. The newer instructors coming in have time to ramp up their knowledge before their batch boys come in.

@JJ26071503 12 лет назад

Great! Waited for this!

@jerryguitars 12 лет назад

I came from here, learn it and till nw i live by it. i guess what i gain most is character development, and you have to go through hardship...there's no easy way to molding someone. The best way is still going through shit, learning, reflecting and realizing it yourself. such is the training outcome in OCS.

@miloice74 12 лет назад

Thank you for the video, bring memories of when I had my posting... immediately boarding the tonner from Tekong to Pasir Lebar. The camp was intimidating, culture was shocking. OCS, instills the honor, pride and professionalism. Be it 20 years ago or now, climbing the tower now, the peng kang hill of yester years. OCS make soldiers into commanders. LEAD, EXCEL and OVERCOME to all past, present and future commanders!

@munkeemoo 12 лет назад

I read some cyberpioneer story about the series and there are quite a lot of cadets featured. More than 2 chinese boys definitely. You will see the others coming up in next few episodes.

Hello can people with diploma in any discipline apply for scholarship or study award to become naval officers? Must the diploma be related to Navy?

@fongzyrep94 11 лет назад

Hi, is there anyway to obtain or purchase those songs? Thanks!

@nicholaschan4257 11 лет назад

what about those who want to serve in the navy or air force when do they transfer there? after BMT?

@xuan55555 12 лет назад

The military skills may not stay relevant, but the character development and 'soft skills' learnt in OCS and as an officer stays with you for the rest of your life.

@sgdsuy 11 лет назад

If I go to PTP, will it negatively affect my chances of going to OCS? Would I be assessed fairly during BMT or will they not choose me because I had to go to PTP? Thanks!!

Just curious. To be an officer... Does one have to sign on? Or is he selected right out of BMT or something?

@umarmars47 9 лет назад

If I'm Malay or Muslim, what are the chances of me getting into OCS?? What about SISPEC??

@cruz1969 12 лет назад

Before SISPEC. Its was know as SAFINCOS in SAFTI. That was 1989 when I was there doing my 3 months of NCOs' course.

@miloice74 12 лет назад

The long ride from PIE back to camp is always painful. :)

@c0nstipat3d 12 лет назад

Haha there is, even in the first two weeks of training. I'm saying this as a capacity of the batch of their senior cadets who were involved in one part of their training that sadly wasn't showcased here. Probably we don't think it is sensitive, but I am sure MSD side has their reasons so we should respect that :)

@nickczh 12 лет назад

You have just described the typical YSL. I will agree with you, having been guilty of the same offence when I commissioned (rank up in my head). However, with time in a unit, that changes. Moreover, I've had the privilege of meeting laojiao Officers in advanced courses who have attitudes opposite to what you've said. Hence I would ask that you give NS Officers the benefit of the doubt, especially NS Key Appointment Holders. Those guys definitely have their heads in the right places.

@renjie1989 12 лет назад

@frozzbite 12 лет назад

eh? The Wing Commander was a malay LTC. The platoon commander was a malay LTA and the section commander was an indian 2LT. I doubt our neighbouring countries can attest to anything similar

@abelsg1786 12 лет назад

SCDF and our army are different task, both have their important role to play, and it should work together for the people of Singapore.

@nickczh 12 лет назад

Hmm I will only go so far as to agree that the video was too brief, at times even choppy, like a dream, where the scenes don't flow from one to another. But CLM is just a relatively short phase, I would expect both Service and Pro Terms to be more in depth and complete.

@guanzzzzzzzzzz 12 лет назад

bro a trainer and a PC are quite different, while a LTA can bring a separate perspective from bn life in for the cadets, 2LTs are closer to life as a cadet and can help the OCTs more especially when they need it. Bn life isn't the be all and end all of being an officer.

@frozzbite 12 лет назад

YSL, i think it is quite clear that army cadets are hardly exposed to much sensitive content during their training phase. Considering that the video is based on the first 2 weeks of training, i highly doubt there was anything sensitive at all. Think about it.

@gabrielhan 12 лет назад

are you 3sg liang from the ESS 1, haha, i kinda disagree so far, but i am neutral, i think the first season is better (for now), also i think the epilogue of 6 episodes is too short, 10 episodes is more feasible

@JacksonOfDork 12 лет назад

2:45 i mean

@experimentalghostxi5249 12 лет назад

20 - 25 episode .

@c0nstipat3d 12 лет назад

There're some sensitive content inside the training the cannot be shared over the broad internet base... Please try to understand :) You could ask your friends who've been through to share with you.

@napalmsirius 12 лет назад

EXACTLY!! And if you think about it, those people over there are saying the same thing "We will defend Malaysia"... "We will defend Indonesia"... there's something wrong with the picture because no matter how many nations profess "defending" their country WARS still get started. But if everyone is defending how can wars start?? There's something psychotic here.

this is not compulsory for all singaporean males, only the chosen ones go through leadership schools such as OCS or SCS. these young boys are typically between 18 to 21 years of age, depending on how early they are conscripted into the SAF.

@lolzprince 12 лет назад

behind every officer, are specs who are so underrated doing and cleaning their shit. Painting such a nice picture about officers, but that is just typical of army. Only the highest rank gets the credit while when shit happens, it's the specs and the men who get it.
