Ep 2: The Platoon Sergeant (Every Singaporean Son - The Epilogue)

Lemuel got what he wished for - to be in a combat unit. After graduating as a Specialist, he was posted to 6 SIR where he quickly assumed the post of Platoon Sergeant. Amidst the hustle and bustle of field training and operational duties, Lemuel reflects on how he has grown from being part of a tightly knit force.

    as a PS myself, I learnt it's an all rounded leader mentor and guardian in my journey althought it's alot if thick and thin and managing each and every one fair and dear, until these guys say ROD and they wrote me a cool farewell card when they went uni and I was so proud of them remembering me. that make my day in that tour of duty before I posted to another unit.

    @RevolutionVic no that console enable you to so call 'perform' buddy aid on each other, after you have physically done so, it is to simulate and to update your system that your kinda 'healed'. you are free to study whatever you want, on your free time, im guessing that guy is doing his o levels as a pte candidate and studying in camp for it thats all.

    @Chewingboy There will be one laser attach to your rifle and a few reciever on your heat and body> You will see those guys helmet got thing coming out at the side. When you squeeze the trigger, the laser will shoot out a "beam" and hit your enemy receiver. IF you are hit a buzzing sound will come out and the media will know where you are hit and will attend to u accordingly. Hope this help.

    @cibwins Because its proven in combat? Its the primary weapon of the British Special Air Service. MP5 is light, accurate and utilizes the Johnson stock design like the M16 family of rifles, the in-line bore with the stock significantly reduces recoil. Not sure about the SAR 21 because of its bullpup configuration.

    @chaingang90 That's the MILES laser attachment used to simulate hits. Soldiers wear laser receivers to indicate if they're hit. If a soldier is hit by the laser, the medic can easily identify the wound. It uses information from the weapon like the caliber and ammunition type to illustrate the range. I don't really know if the BFA on the bullpup SAR-21 is the same as the M16, although they use the same 5.56x45mm ammo.

    @Chewingboy All the rifles and machine guns in training and exercises fire blank rounds, meaning there is no bullet in the round, the case only contains gunpowder. When the trigger is pulled, the gun's striker in the bolt hits the bottom of the case and sets off the powder. This is what makes the gunshots and effect of shooting. Hope this helps!

    6SIR was previously under 2PDF before they were transferred over to 3Div. They were the pioneer infantry unit tasked with POI operations in the 2000’s era before 9SIR was created. In short, 2PDF created 9SIR to replace 6SIR for POI operations as 6SIR exited and returned back to being a traditional light infantry unit
