Army personnel got shot in the right eye in sembawang camp

[myfoot123]

..
where got use live round during field trainning.

I can testify that we do use live round in the open. Twice I have that experience.

Once we were stationed on top of a small hill near marsiling and aimed our live round at the target on another hill about 200m away? It was very open concept and not those boxed in liv-firing chamber kind, so we have to hope no one move around within that vicinity, and birds also scared.

2nd scenario also in the open field, shooting scarecrow target. Instead of running, we walk tactically, those in front group will fire first followed by the back group moving ahead of you to shoot and vice versa until your bullet is emptied.,....kind of scary and you hope no one trip and misfired behind you. Those were the days, not sure about now. :(

I think the above accident was probably due to arms not properly cocked or cleared because after training, your arms get tired and you too lazy to look cleary to see anymore live round inside the rifle even after you took out the magazine.

I remembered there was one test that the instructors will use gpmg to spray live rounds overhead while trainees have to leopard crawl past obstacles below....sounds scary but no actual danger....point is live rounds were used.

It was part of an important test in safincos or ocs (can't remember too long ago). Perhaps now discontinued liao.

I also got do NS. Never heard of blank ammo for shooting. All shooting is live ammo. Only tracer is blank.

That was using GPMG with 7.62 mm live rounds.

well confirmed it's fake. Temasekreview as usual reported it without verifying it. The person that died in question is also a fan sub of some otaku forum.

You sure did NS? Blanks are always use most of the time as live firing areas very limited. No such thing as blank tracer, as tracers are rounds to indicate enemy position.

Every Year Got Free Winning Tickets To Hades

"NSF is good for you", says general worker LHL.

"All must do NS ! No excuse ! Except my son", Tony Jiat Liao Bee.

Every year, some of your boy boys will have free tickets (one-way trip only) to Hades. Some people say that NS makes you fellas men. I think hor, more like dead men and angry men.

Blanks can kill too.

Not sure about you. All my ammo were given in range or guard duty. All live. I never go jungle exercise before. Discharge halfway due to accident and cant walk almost a year.

That's what I said earlier and TR were dumb enough to report it without verifying it. Don't their editors do NS? Or do they all declare 302 during medical checkup, that's why don't have to go for training.

Blog post on NSF's death a hoax: Mindef

By Jessica Lim

The Defence Ministry (Mindef) has refuted as a hoax a blog post claiming that a full-time national serviceman (NSF) was shot dead last Friday during a live-firing exercise.

The post appeared that evening on a blog which calls itself Temasek Revealed. It said the incident took place that morning.

The post then appeared on a Facebook page called Temasek Review early yesterday.

It said a 19-year-old Singapore Armed Forces serviceman had been shot in the right eye by a stray bullet in the Sembawang area and that he died on the spot.

Neither the blog, nor the Temasek Review Facebook page, is associated with the sociopolitical website Temasek Review Emeritus (TRE), which was originally known as Temasek Review.

By noon yesterday, the post had gone viral on forums such as fuckwarezone, and on other blogs and social networking sites.

Temasek Revealed first appeared shortly after the original Temasek Review website went offline in September last year. The latter has since returned as TRE.

An opposition candidate in last year's general election, Mr Alex Tan, had said on his Facebook page that the Temasek Revealed blog was published by him.

Mr Tan could not be contacted.

No details are available about the Temasek Review Facebook page.

Temasek Revealed reproduced a blog post supposedly written by the victim's brother. The blog requires a password for access.

The 'brother's' post said the victim died from 'severe internal bleeding in the head' after 'the bullet punctured his right skull through the right eye socket'.

Mindef put up a hoax alert on its Facebook page yesterday morning, saying the matter is 'not true'. The ministry said it is monitoring the situation.

The post on the Temasek Review's Facebook page has since been removed. In its place is an apology to readers for 'any dismay... caused due to our editorial sources'. A note was also put up thanking Mindef for its clarification.

The blog post on Temasek Revealed has also been removed.

Not sure about you. All my ammo were given in range or guard duty. All live. I never go jungle exercise before. Discharge halfway due to accident and cant walk almost a year.

Before being allowed to do guard duty one has to finish BMT. Obviously you are lying because BMT is not only about range and guard duty. One year in NS, combat recruits should complete BMT at least which means an NS man has completed IFC (individual filed craft) which involves jungle exercises, grenade throwing, range practise, weapon training among many other trainings.

Live and blank ammos are often use including at least the demonstration of a tracer bullet firing in the night. Tracer bullets are meant for spotting and indicating approximate location of the enemy and used mainly in the dark. It is ludicrous to say you only do range and guard duty without learning at least some basics about the rifle and ammunition. Try to wriggle your way out of this.

There is such thing known as section, platoon, company love firing in forested area. Not exactly very forested but is still out in the open field. When u r assaulting there will be gpmg firing live rounds as suppressing fire. So many of us went through ns and I m surprise none pointed this out to you.

hahaha.....of course there are live firing exercises like what you said in live firing areas outside of the shooting range.
but let me repeat my points:
1. you don't do them in forested areas like sembawang because sure mati.....u don't know what you shooting at
2. sembawang is not a live firing area...

The only live firing done in Sembawang forested areas are the makeshift Brothels, where the Banglas, Kekleng, Thais etc men do theirs. The only rounds left behind is made of rubber & is called condoms. and you won't shoot the eye socket with that.
