Tips for Specialist Cadet School

Before SCS

  • Achieve Gold in your IPPT before reporting in. That award earns you longer daily admin breaks and can even secure early weekend bookouts during Found Term.
  • Keep up interval training. SCS kicks off with demanding interval runs; adding uphill sprints to your routine will spare you agony later.

Admin time

  • Use admin hours to plot your maps and prepare kit before dark
  • Keep your living area and kit spotless, book out earlier!

Gear and packing

  • Always pack extra socks and tights. They reduce blisters and chafing on long marches or in dense jungle training
  • Verify your LBS loadout and blank ammunition daily

Company and welfare

  • Research your company’s reputation before you start. Schools and companies vary widely in welfare levels, so speak to seniors or read up online to set realistic expectations. Always check Reddit
  • Compared to BMT it turns more mentally and physically shag, yet you gain roughly two hours of admin daily

Other

  • Build trust within your section. Don't sabo anyone
  • No bidets in the seated bowls. Prepare accordingly
