basin practice ra sad ni sila maayo...parehas sa hostage taking sa bus...naunsa...

Bang! mga special forces ni brad, dili basta2x ang training ani, ayaw tawon i-apil ni sila adto nahitabo na hostage taking. I'm from Lanao del Norte so I can tell how Scout Rangers do their work, hilom ra kaayo, paspas manglihok. Naa ko nakasturya na Scout Ranger na naka station dapit sa amoa, ngilngig ni mga tawhana, they operate in squads, pero dili mo atras maski outnumbered. Guerilla tactics gamit sad ani nila. Matod pa niya, we strike swift and fast.

Philippine Army 1st Special Forces Regiment (SFR-A) Tigerstripes Camouflage Uniform



Green-dominant Tigerstripes camouflage uniform of the Philippine Army 1st Special Forces Regiment – Airborne (SFR-A). An elite unit established in the 1960 by Fidel “Eddie” V. Ramos, its 1st Commanding officer who later became the 12th President of the Philippines from 1992 – 1998. Similar to the United States “Green Berets”, among their many specializations, this Special Forces trains local citizens as militiamen in their area of operations and mobilizes them to defend themselves.

This SFR-A tigerstripes uniform is in lightweight 100% cotton material and fully badged. On its left arm sleeve are subdued “Special Force”, “Ranger” and “Airborne” tabs and below them is the SFR-A cloth badge. On the right arm sleeve (unseen) is also a subdued Philippine Army Special Operations Command (PA SOCOM) Badge. PA SOCOM is a single command responsible for maintaining various Special Forces units operating under the Army’s wing.

On this TS uniform upper right chest pockets is their primary SFR Qualification Pocket Badge (subdued) and on the left pocket, Scout Ranger Qualification Pocket Badge (subdued). It means that the operator also is a qualified Scout Ranger. Hence, indeed earned the right to wear a “Ranger” tab. Of course, an NCO Master Sergeant and an Infantry Occupational Specialty collar insignias in addition to the normal Philippine Army Branch Cloth Tab and Name Cloth. Just right above the name cloth is a qualified Philippine Basic Parachutist Jump Badge. These parachute wings are awarded to those personnel who have successfully completed the rigorous parachutist qualification course as taught by the Philippine Special Forces Parachute Jump Instructors.








This SFR-A tigerstripes camouflage uniform is also known as SOCOM Tiger and also, once adopted by Philippine Navy Special Warfare Group (SWAG) before they chose its distinct Tigerstripes which was supplied by Sewingdale, Inc.. SWAG being the old name of the now Naval Special Warfare Group (NAVSOG). Therefore, I was not surprised at all on what I found along the brim of this SFR-A TS uniform, a continuous print markings that says: “PN SWAG Uniform”. Obviously, the supplier had it marked so, to indicate the correct Tigerstripes color and pattern that was also appropriate for the PN Naval Special Warfare requirement at that time or at least, supply fabric rolls to also cater to PN NSWG.

In reference to the same SFR-A Tigerstripes variety of the Philippine Naval Special Warfare Group. See photos below:

I didn't know we have these kind of special units. Wala lang tingali ma expose or dili ganahn ma expose kaayo..

basin practice ra sad ni sila maayo...parehas sa hostage taking sa bus...naunsa...

by the way, kung civilian ra ka, ayaw panaway kay basin selection palang dili na ka madawat or basin inig training dili ka molahotay.

put it this way, there's a big difference between what the spectator sees and what the gladiator experiences while he is in the arena.

if naay palpak ang manila swat at that time didto sa quirino grandstand then the blame is with the people who handles the crisis. by the way, other special units (i.e PNP-SAF and others) were there and were just made to "watch" by the ones who handled the "show" so the right people weren't used for the job.
