, enlistment wise I'm not that sure, vocation wise most probably as an ASA ( Admin Support Assistant) or a Storeman, working hours of yours would probably be an 8 - 5 one meaning no stay-ins or regimental duties for you. You'll be dressed in No.3 uniform. About camp location, that's up to CPC to decide for you, hopefully you'll be in a camp near where you stay. 
, Hmm, about BMT you'll be going for a Pes E induction program at BMTC which lasts for 5days at Tekong. No weapon training, physical activites, ippt , soc, etc for you that I'm sure.
Your colleagues will vary I say, for the SAF is a big place with many different personalities.
, Upgraded to higher rank as in? Chances of promotion I assume for you? Yes you will be promoted, but sad to say promotion in SAF for PES E dudes are slower as compared to Pes A/B/C 
About being discriminated upon on, NO! You wouldn't be discriminated upon on, certainly not by me , it's just a PES grading remember no matter what, you're still contributing to the country dude! -
stay in is not guranetted n u still need to do orderly duty although u dun hv to do guard sentry duty
whether u r staying in or out are normally decided by your erm, RSM

There will definitely be pple who look down on clerks and storeman.
Just be proud of what u are doing.. -
for a E1L9, you will most probably be a clerk or a storeman. this is dependent on your medical condition, educational qualification plus the vocational deployment from CPC. Salary wise (sorry it is a stipend), you will have rank pay + vocational allowance. It will most likely be 8 to 5 bue depnedent on unit requirements. As to which camp, it is kind of like a luck thing.Originally posted by psyphase:Damn it! i just got my PES status, E1L9. Can i know is my chance of future employment much lower?

Your colleagues will be most likely a mix of people. so learn to work with everyone.
Yes you can be upgraded if your PES status is temp. you will be put up for medical board.
Some ppl will look down on PES E people by your attitude should be be proud of the whole thing... dun be discouraged. -
If you are an ASA or SA, the promotion depends on your educatioal level.ITE and 'O' level holders will be promoted to LCP around 6-9 months before ORD, whereas 'A" level and Diploma holders will be promoted to the rank of CPL.IF you are of a "scholar" ability, you might end up in MINDEF as a Project Clerk or Project Specialist.Though I'm not sure if these vocations still exist, or they pluck from the ASA ranks, these guys have a chance at becoming a 3SG aka Admin Specialist.Then again, if you're ASA, your boss can also recommend you for the Basic Admin Supervisor course, which goes down the same path as the former.Originally posted by smile

Anyway, PTEs get $350, LCPs get $390, CPLs get $420, 3SGs get $560.When you reach the last 6 mths of service, you will get an increment of $15 for PTE and LCP.I'm not sure about CPL but 3SG's pay will rise to $590.
