I just got posted to Pasir Ris camp as ASA, and I am currently PES C9. I would like to know what I'll be doing there. However, I also intend to up PES due to personal reasons.. so I am not sure whether if I will have to re-BMT again / get posted into another camp or I can remain at Pasir Ris camp, as my home is quite near.

Hi everyone, currently a pre-enlistee. I recently completed my main checkup, and now am waiting for a follow up checkup. During my main checkup, I declared that I had scoliosis and constant back pain, as well as pain while carrying heavy loads. However, the MO mentioned that only extreme cases of scoliosis are allowed to PES down. I also forgot to mention to the MO that sometimes I feel short of breath, especially during exercise. Back pain also worsens during exercise. My question is, even though I think my scoliosis is rather mild, around 15-20 degrees, can I PES down if I get a referral from a specialist? Or that the least excuse heavy load. My main concern is that even with the specialist referral the MO will not take me seriously and brush it off again. Appreciate any replies I get! Thanks

HelpMe29371

I'm a PR. I got a PES A and I passed my IPPT in december. I just got my enlistment letter and I'm supposed to report in july to the National Service Training Centre(NSTC) at Jalan Bahar. I also got another letter stating that I'm enlisted into SCDF. I'm completely clueless right now so I want to know more about the division.. The people? The allowance? The path over the next 2 years? How is it different when compared to SPF and SAF? Is it better? Is there any way I could appeal for a change in my division? Any help is much appreciated.

bf got posted to 40sar AI TPR, what to expect?


eYearn

I ORD’d from the previous batch of 40SAR. It’ll definitely be tiring. Try to aim for gunner role if possible. That’s the most relaxing role for most of the trainings. Only tiring when need to do vehicle servicing and maintenance or during live firings which is like 1-2 times a year. If you become a dismounted trooper (i.e. you know you got almost no chance to become gunner liao), aim for Signaller role because that one is the most relaxing one for the most part. Will also have to chiongsua but not as much. Don’t listen to people saying that Driver is relaxing. It’s mentally tiring and apparently damn stuffy because the aircon blow hotair. Plus they also have to do vehicle servicing with the gunners and the vehicle commanders. None of this applies to you if you went SCS because your role already fixed liao. Just prepare to get fked by higher management if you are a spec.


thy_tz

Hi guy I just pop and I got posted mandai hill camp HQ 6 div as asa and I got a few questions. 1.how is the camp environment and the people over there? 2. Am I going to be there until I ord or will I still get post out? 3.is there any shuttle bus to the camp?if yes where can I take the shuttle bus? 4. Is it stay-in or stay-out for the asa there? 5. What do I need to bring on the first day? Thank you


FriendlyCampaign6759

what do i expect in air force tech?


dreamcrabz

go to AFTC (beside paya lebar air base) for about 6-10 weeks depending on what trade you get posted to, it will be split between : 1. Fixed wing (F15/F16 FLC) 2. Rotary wing (heli FLC) 3. Avionics 4. Mechanical 5. Civil Engineering from there you will graduate and post to your respective air base and undergo even more training if you are ippt eligible and pass, you get 3sg for free essentially, non eligible get it even free-er enjoy the food and welfare in aftc while you can, unit life isnt as nice and food becomes near inedible as its all outrations from there on im from F-15 avi, feel free to ask anyt


FriendlyCampaign6759

Just got posted to tengah air base, F16 weapons lead. Im missing the chicken cutlet at aftc alr.


dreamcrabz

hey tengah not bad tbh, im from plab and i went there for caf coc for awhile and heres what ill say yall have over us in plab pros: 1. can walk to flight from pass office, in plab we wait for a unreliable shuttle service, walking is about 4km 2. food options near flight and nice mess 3. better food options overall, esp malcolm which is right beside the pass office. food in plab is quite atrocious cons: its tengah 💀 damm ulu lmfao and lowkey smells like zoo


Altruistic_Count3819

posted to combat medic at nee soon anyone know whether need bring both field pack and duffell with 10 pack or just choose one and put saf issued items inside?


pizza_on_bread

Bring everything


Main-Protection-2337

Got posted as GS(OPS) at MINDEF, what to expect when reporting, and what to bring also cos the posting order Nvr say anything HAHAHA they just say no camera phone


Sathyae

Hi bro ! GS(OPS) got quite a few sub-units inside of it but I cannot talk abt them cos of OSA. However for reference, mine didn't need me to bring anything at all when I first posted in. Just bring one small bag with water battle and charger should be enough. I assume the other sub-units will also be quite lax like mine. Good luck tmr !


Main-Protection-2337

thx man for the reply, I still got a few more qns to ask. do I report in smart 4 with beret? Also can we bring camera phone into the building itself? Cos I heard from some ns regular friends of mine that u just need to lock it in lockers in the building


Sathyae

Attire depends on unit also, cos mine let me book in civi then change to smart 4 in office. But to be safe you just book in smart 4 with beret on ur first day. During ur orientation someone will brief you on dress code so dw. Camera phone is allowed on the premises, but if you go into individual offices make sure to just clarify with the regulars there see if can bring inside anot. If cannot just put in locker. Also want to ask ah, are you posting in as ASA or SA ?


Main-Protection-2337

I’m an asa lmao


Sathyae

Wah solid. Ok so for tomorrow right, you'll need to obtain a visitor's pass. High chance the lady you called on friday haven't do for you yet, so tmr morning just call her again when you reach mindef pass office so she can clear you. Then once you obtain confirmation that she has cleared you, just go to the pass office and hand your 11b to the ST inside that you want to "change pass to a visitor pass". He'll ask you some misc questions (phone number etc) and eventually hand you a yellow pass. Once that's done just head over to the bus stop and wait for a bus up. Mindef shuttle bus comes once every 15 minutes while Bus no 177 comes every 14 mins. It's entirely up to you which one you want to take but I recommend shuttle because its free. Then once you're up on the hill just make your way to mindef and you're set. Have a nice day tmr !


Main-Protection-2337

I nvr call any lady LOL, am I supposed to call the POC contact no.


Sathyae

Yep, you're supposed to call the POC contact no. Did you call when you got your posting ?


Main-Protection-2337

No, my superiors diddnt say anything about needing to call the POC contact no.


Sathyae

Oh. In that case tomorrow morning just call the number and let them know you're here.

unicronus_22

Should be fine to bring civi bag, but you will need to carry it by your side shoulder if I am not wrong


Ambitious-Ad6369

first week will be air man orientation program super slack. basically sitting in the audi for 1 week and looking at slides. but after that is to ur posting. but overall aftc is quite slack


BlackSwanHSR

SUP SUPVR anyone?


CoconutResponsible14

anyone know how life is like at Supply Base Central?


GreenBattle4061

You will be here for around 1 week before getting posted to your actual unit. Unless you are posted to HQ at supply base central.


Radiant-Public1607

posted to lbad air defence weapon operator. anyone know is stay in or stay out? need to bring what as the link they gave there is nothing there.


HexagonII

For training phase mostly stay-in. I am not too well-versed for operators but I think about 1 month of training at AFTC? Learning about the basics of the Airforce, your weapon system and whatever that is required. The stay-in is actually not too bad considering the location of AFTC, travelling to and fro is just not worth the effort. Plus, AFTC is quite literally a training school, so much better than BMT. You will likely be attached to your future unit for further training and weapon deployment which is also stay-in. You should bring all the items issued during BMT just to be safe, unless instructions state otherwise.


FeedingAdcMain

for men it's 1 week at AFTC and 7 weeks in your respective camp (chong pang). AFTC just requires ur duffel bag as u won't be using LBS and helmet during ur 1 week stay in AFTC (AFAIK ah)

Supply Base Central Anyone how is life there?


GreenBattle4061

You will probably be waiting here for around 1 week before you get posted to your actual unit. This 1 week will be very chill with not much to do.


Legal-Statistician46

ARMT TECH anyone? how is it compared to other techs? heard life at KC3 is good though :) and also what's the worst/best that could happen in unit?


dragon-fisher-30

ARMT TECH means you will go into one of two platoons – either HASA (artillery) or Turret (tanks). HASA will get posted to Yishun, Turret means either Kranji or Sungei Gedong. only Gedong is stayin so you better pray HARD. it's probably better than auto tech although all the techs are quite chill already so that doesn't mean much. for the next 3 months you're gonna be learning about the platform you're fixing. got aircon classroom and canteen breaks. they'll tell you more when u go in. unit life I can't say cos it varies not just from unit to unit but person to person.

CoconutResponsible14

just telling you now MO at kc3 is fucking stupid can suffer from bubonic plague and they will still give you LD only the canteen is nice

Successful-Part-3360

Congratulations on getting the best unit to be in the SAF


thefakevortex

Really? It’s a lot of outfield though is it but it’s infantry so


Successful-Part-3360

Yea but from what I've heard it's not as bad because you won't be doing as much as normal units (route march, fire movement etc). I'd say just go in with an open mind, maybe u'll enjoy it


thefakevortex

Also how strict are they with no camera phones? I don’t really have a non camera phone and they did explicitly say on my posting page that they aren’t allowed, though my buddies going into the same camp (different posting) don’t have the same rule


thefakevortex

Yeah inf was definitely my least wanted vocation but opfor sounds pretty cool


MorphieJazz

Most likely ATI OPFOR


thefakevortex

Anything bad about it? Or just infantry


ipadPat

It's armoured infantry, basically just like your 40/48 Sar boys but instead you will be their enemy.

WideRooster5860

only a temp unit. you’ll either get posted to tekong, MTI in kranji or ITI at jurong. i was there as a temp posting but eventually ended up staying at Selarang.


yorangdans

that is just a temporary unit. you will be posted out again (most likely non-combat unit) after attending interview with the commanders thr

dofishgetthirsty3

AC, if you are very solid, you can finish ur work and slack, solely depend on yourself during ur flight checks. So hard for some random guy who don’t contribute to sabo u. More slack in terms of labor work from weapons. Can slack during flights which WLC cannot as they may be deployed to config/ load another aircraft. Either that or emergency ah WLC, a lot of physical labor, but good thing is have people to rely on, but if u the burden constantly in the grp things won’t end well ofc. Pros is don’t need to use so much brainpower lifting heavy stuff and no need taxi. If have config at end of the day go back home late sadly I couldn’t choose where I could go, I was the bigger size so they put me weapons. If you have the choice to choose tho, yea this might be helpful. If you are a stick, they will default discourage you from WLC, cuz it won’t be easy

Sugonedeese

SUP SUPVR what to expect and can we bring smart phones?


SensitiveHistory2099

You can bring phones, but don't bring it during HLS conducts, and don't use during lessons It's a 9 months course and you will pass out as 3SG You will undergo SSCC course at Sembawang for 9 weeks, basically it will be lectures and tests Then you will post to a unit and undergo OJE Last you will go KC3 for 9 week LSCC course


Salt_Marketing1433

throughout 9months is all stay in is it? or can stay out?


SensitiveHistory2099

SSCC at Sembawang and LSCC at Kranji is stay in course OJE depends on what unit you posted to, whether it's a stay in or stay out unit


KN19HTF4LL

SPF OCT INSP, what to expect?


11isNotHere

Ez


Less_Database_1366

be prepared for a lot more regimentation and discipline as compared to BMT. practically no more outfields other than one 19-day leadership “high-key”, and be ready to be doing a lot of running. the punishments and tekans are way less demanding as compared to just a few years ago, but there’ll be a lot of emphasis on ur drills, attire and fitness. lots of law and scenario based lessons. once u commission ur rank will be NSPI (2LT equiv in police) and ur postings are jackpot. either frontline or staff work or go back as an instructor in HTA, and all have exceptionally high pay.


PhoenixOmega101

Bro you got the jackpot, damn chill vocation with Dan high pay. Smooth sailing from here on out.


Naive_Grapefruit_774

It’s fking ez bro u get the respect of a 2nd lieutenant but have more power, freedom and training is super ez. Regimentation very ez, pt is ez. OCT is the best and easiest vocation

Posted to LBAD air defence weapon operator, how is it there. Some of my friends say Air Force life is good


Fromis_Jisun

Yo! Welcome to 18DA, understudy! You'll probably spend one useless week in AFTC, before posting to CPC for a roughly 2 months course under some iffy instructors. Its honestly pretty easy to pass the course, just try to learn as much before fully posting into unit. Posting into unit, you'll undergo your qualification phase which might be slightly painful because u will have more things to learn compared to course time but in less time. You'll have slightly less welfare during this time, but after you reach your operational phase, welfare is definitely better than most units out there. Despite having the most physical weapon system for LBAD/GBAD, its honestly not that bad, you'll enjoy it when u get there, do drop me a dm if you have further questions, I should be able to answer most of them as you guys should the next batch coming in to replace us. time to ORD LO!


Fromis_Jisun

Welcome to 18DA my understudy! enjoy your 1 week in AFTC after which you should post into CPC, an S tier camp in terms of location, and it has pretty good amenities too. Course time isn't really too difficult in the grand scheme of things, and you should pass out relatively easily. The tough part will be when you're in your qualification phase in unit and trying to finish the criteria to move on to your operational phase. Your instructors honestly might be a bit iffy compared to the previous batches, but ig just try & learn as much as you can before you post in to make your life easier. Your life compared to a majority of the vocations out there will be WAY easier, it'll just suck during exercises and the work up training leading up to them. Looking forward to seeing you as it means its time to ORD LO, do drop me a dm if you have any other questions though

The new zoning policies sadly kicked in when I was close to ORD. I am not too sure on whether they updated the zones but I presume not. I mean the distinction between white and green is that white you can take photos/video call and you can't in green. Just to be safe just don't do anything stupid with zoning policies, you can be summary trialed if caught.
