SAF volunteer corp - just in time for NDP 2015 ?

Success factors for SAF Volunteer corp need better clarity [Link]

Comment: " ... The thing could happen if SAF just chin chye do a watered down version of BMT, get em to put on the no. 4 combat fatigue, slap on a SAR-21 assault rifle for good measure and get them to march in our NDP 2015 to celebrate Singapore's 50th independence day! Our born and bred NS boys and men whom have gave their lives throughout all these years will get up from their graves ! ..."

How to conduct a no nonsense SAF Army Volunteer Corp training programme [Link]. If you are not thorough, you are just waiting for accidents to happen, especially these volunteers will be handled assault rifles / personal arms in their line of duty. Not enough training contact time with live firing at the range, these trainees will start going around pointing their rifles in all directions and at people, it just doesn't cross their mind because the training contact time is just not enough to inculcate in them the safety habits of weapon handling, plus as they are "adult" volunteers, you are not suppose to scold them or tekan them, the element of shock is then missing - use ones helmet to knock their head with their helmets on! To wake up their idea and focus when they are handling weapon(s). With not enough training contact time, they don't acquire the habit of clearing the chamber and double confirm the chamber is clear (see, even i write it twice). 

I hope when the SAF conduct these volunteer BMT courses, in obedience to their political masters. In training the new citizen / first generation PR ( first generation PR SHOULD NOT BE INDUCTED INTO OUR SECURITY APPARATUS ! ) recruits. Members of the SAF, i implore you, to find it in your hearts, to remind your political masters, with courage, in whatever they implement, whether or not for their own political expedience, to do it in remembrance of our born and bred Singaporean sons whom has gone before us ...

In memory of our brothers whom i know personally that has gone before us serving compulsory conscription, not volunteering (can back out one without getting charge and going to DB - army prison).
