  Is it true that personnels (particularly non-combatants) who lives in the East have the higher chances of being posted to camps which are far from their homes as there are more camps in the West side compared to the East?
  
  I have friends (non combatants) who lives in Tampines but was posted to camps in Choa Chu Kang area and so far I have not heard any non-combatants living in the West being sent to camps like Bedok, Selarang, Pasir Ris, Hendon, Pulau Tekong etc

  it all depends on CPC. they are the one in charge of your posting.

  I guess it's kind of a luck thing..
  Some people get camps close to their place, while some get camps at the other end of Singapore..

  really depends on your posting man ..especially those with combat vocations,chances are you will be posted to combat units,and most of these units are in pretty far sides of singapores...go and think of most of the army camp locations,which one is easily accessible, with the exception of MINDEF,CMPB etc..

  Shldnt count the Air and Naval Bases...if you're talking about Army pers
  
  Moreover, it depends on CPC, like what Gordonator said. Depends on ppl who ORD, and ppl who get re-voc due to whatever reason (upgrade and stuff)..
