Mohammad Ridzuan Jamari, 31, was sentenced to a jail term of five years and three months, as well as three strokes of the cane.
He pleaded guilty to one count of theft and another count of drug consumption.
Mohammad Ridzuan, who is diagnosed with schizophrenia, committed the offences on May 8 this year.
He was deployed to work at a construction site in Pasir Laba Camp, where about 100 specialist cadets were on Standard Obstacle Course training nearby.
Mohammad Ridzuan ran beside 22-year-old Mr Kang Tai, as he was running alone towards the finish line.
Mohammad Ridzuan, who was holding a 25-cm long screwdriver, grabbed his shoulder and shouted at him.
Both men struggled but Mohammad Ridzuan managed to snatch the rifle from Mr Kang.
He held onto the rifle for two seconds before it was taken away by Mr Kang's platoon commander.
Mohammad Ridzuan was arrested later.
Investigations revealed that he had also taken drugs at the army camp.
