  quite a common vocation...
  
  anyway, you are now the gate keepers of SAF camps. Everyone want to avoid guard duty right? Your vocation IS guard duty. Comes with some priveledges.

  well my friend's side is 3 days then rest 2 days i think... continuous hours.
  
  live range... i think for combat guys have to go for live range.
  
  and its not a pay. u just get combat allowance, definately more than service side.

  the above scenerio only apply to most RSAF bases n camp..if u are posted to any of the FDSs..u will definitely be doing shift duty...n your RP or field defence course will be 3 mth long...
  
  most SAF RP only work 8 to 5 n their course only 2 weeks..

  FDSs are airbases ground troop, which handle the base security n defence of the airbases...
  
  for Naval Bases RPs..i think they are 8 to 5 also..not sure..u can ask around..
  
  wat i think of my life as a FDS trooper?
  
  before 911..nobody respect u..think we are some kind of pest..
  
  but after 911...everybody need u..even the pilot come to u for advise..
  
  im proud to be in FDS TAB...we've done lotsa impossible thing..
  
  btw..FDSs RP in future will be call Airforce Trooper(sound very gay)..no more RP..

  not xiong at all..i would say its only 50% of a normal infantry unit training..
  its very similar to SISPEC training..but stretch into 2 years..so not xiong at all..
  
  during my time..we practise 1 mth duty, 2 weeks training...tat was before 911..
  not sure abt now..
  
  training got section live firing, platoon live firing, GPMG Live Firing, M203 Live Firing, SAW Live, LAW or Sub Cal live n sometime got Orlikon Gun Live..
  
  the most siong will be the occasional 5km fast march n the Defence Ex against the commandos..tats all...

  Actually being a recruit, you should be ready to take on physical challenges already...
  
  Its when u start to laze around then u will find things siong.

  1 Oct 04, 22:35

  haha , also true...
  
  thanks for answering my questions...dun know why got so many questions to ask...still got more to ask , pai seh
  
  1.)when needed to do rp duties , for example as sentry , is it sentry for 2 or 4 hr before another shift take over?
  
  2.) During your Rp days , did being a rp eat into your public holidays?

  like wat kopiosatu said...its xiong when u start to slack...
  trust me its not that xiong..its stretch over 2 years n very progressive...
  
  n abt the 3 mth course..yes its BMT all over again plus 2 week RP course..but with slight difference..
  like inclusive of some weapon training u dun find in tekong..like Law,Saw,GPMG n ADM....oh yea one more thing..u will dig more hole then n dig in tekong..its basically dig n dig n dig...

  no..very hard to answer u..it depend on your unit style of working..n cant tell u much anyway..cos its abit sensitive to discuss how we work in a public forum..
  
  2.) During your Rp days , did being a rp eat into your public holidays?
  
  yes
