  i think might be abit too late.
  
  as the next PA intake is in june, and i think you will need 2 months to notify mindef.
  
  but no harm trying, regulars always got special privileges.
  
  at most complete tekong bmt, then after that send u to police? not sure.

  there got pple doing e registration check ur name on e list.
  
  bus timing is e same as a typical shuttle bus service commercial.

  so 1130am reach pasir ris interchange?
  oh okay.
  i thought 1130am must reach tekong bmtc 2.
  how long will the total journey frm bus to ferry to tekong bmtc takes, about what time will reach tekong?
  kinda afraid now, still got like only 7 days only o-o.

  It should reach tekong within an hr depending on hows the crowd and the waiting time at the ferry terminal.
  
  As long as you are physically and mentally prepared, you will do fine. 1st 2 weeks is more orientation and easy going period. You only get to see the real stuff after your 1st bookin.

  PES C bmt is damn easy esp since you C9L2 most of the things you hardly need do as well.
  
  It won't hurt bringing an extra padlock, whether u want use it to lock your shoe cabinet or leave for spare in case u or 1 of your section mates loss their key and needs to cut the lock, u have a spare lock to use or give them.
  
  Normal or not i dunno since i'm not PES C

  no, pes c9 ppl normally more siong then pes c2.
  
  cuz pes c2 most of em are excuse ll or ul.
  
  ll means like very little physical training for you le.
  
  and if you're c9l2 without excuses, your bmt will be slightly more siong then a c2l2 with excuses since both needa go field camp anyway.

  thanks for the reply. btw i went beach road today then the auntie told me that i should buy my field camp stuffs too just in case i cannot book out to buy. will such thing really happen?

  C9L2 sure got reason for C9L2 rit can't be anyhow also can get if not i also wan PES C to shorten my reservist by 5 years.
  
  Field camp will not be so soon and you will be notified about what is required to buy and bring closer to the date of it and sure to have time to go buy. Its just whether you want to spent the few hrs of your freedom at beach road looking at all the green stuff only.

  PES E can be clerk or storeman. Nothing really much they can do really. They will still be able to get the rank of CPL and not stuck at REC so don't worry.

  pes E people are all stay out right? am i right to say that rarely are clerks and storemen required to stay in?

  It will depend on the unit, most combat units will require their storeman and clerks to stay in as well
