Just asking for my friend... He's also posted to 30 SCE on 9th Sep for his PTP+BMT... He graduated from ITE with Higher Nitec...
I need to know what kind of engineer would he probably become? Bridging engineer? Field engineer? or would he get the chance to be trained in a more specialised field like CBRE, EOD or bomb disposal??
Also, what are the chances for him to be posted out??
-
heh ... i find it strange though:Originally posted by Gordonator:so are all those monstrous vehicles over there.
my knees has outstanding injury with an open appointment for surgery. some endoscope thing. sports injury 5 years back and is still giving me problems now. broke my palm 5 years back, and broke my foot 3 years back.
And yet somehow I still got PES B?
I'm wondering if it's not too late to get a specialist report, which I should have done earlier, for my knees and my possibilities of getting a downgrade.
Any advice? -
Field pioneers.U get to play with mines and bombs...Originally posted by Prestroz:Just asking for my friend... He's also posted to 30 SCE on 9th Sep for his PTP+BMT... He graduated from ITE with Higher Nitec...

Chances of posting out would be very slim unless u OOC. -
in 30SCE u will become a plant engineer or field engineer.Originally posted by Prestroz:Just asking for my friend... He's also posted to 30 SCE on 9th Sep for his PTP+BMT... He graduated from ITE with Higher Nitec...

as a plant operator, u will learn to operate vehicles like tractors, excavator, shovel, forklift and dozers like those u see at construction sites to support enginner operations.
it's a good life lah, no need to chiong suah, u move around in your vehicle and dig with your vehicle, as compared to field engineers they must run here run there dig by themselves.
in 30SCE u won't be trained in other fields like what u mentioned above as they belong to other engineers' units. if u are interested they are,
30SCE
plant engineers/field engineers
35SCE brifging engineers/amphibious engineers
36SCE EOD engineers
39SCE CBRE engineers
u might still be able to be posted out, for instance u fail IPPT. but i recommend staying on, cos all your friends are there.

did u highlight this to the MO when u go for yor medical check-up at CMPB?Originally posted by vulpes macrotis mutica:heh ... i find it strange though:

if your injuries is still giving u problems, i suggest u go see a specialist and get a specialist report. but if possible, i suggest u go through BMT first, cos even if u downgrade, u will still need to go through PES C BMT. might as well go through BMT now, save your time and at the same time see whether u can handle the training or not. if really cannot take it, u can always refer the specialist report to the MO.
good luck. -
What about graduate from ITE nitec ? Also become plant engineer or field engineer ? How do they choose who go to plant and who go to field ? Just ti-kum ar ?Originally posted by Gordonator:in 30SCE u will become a plant engineer or field engineer.

Yeah, highlighted it when I went to CMPB last September for my check-up. Even showed the MO 16 pieces of X-rays I've taken over my short course of life. Then on Feb earlier this year, got a letter to report to Pasir Ris camp. Then did the interview and the MO asked if I have medical conditions, I highlighted my knee problems too.Originally posted by Gordonator:did u highlight this to the MO when u go for yor medical check-up at CMPB?

Anyway, I heard from a clerk @ CMPB that if I haven't enter NS 1 year after a medical check-up, I'd have to go through it again before I get enlisted, is that true?
Think I'd go ahead and get the specialist report on my knee, cause sometime it hurts even when I walk, perhaps aggrevated by the Great Singapore Sales. -

u mean like missing your enlistment date? i'm sorry but i'm don't know.Originally posted by vulpes macrotis mutica:Anyway, I heard from a clerk @ CMPB that if I haven't enter NS 1 year after a medical check-up, I'd have to go through it again before I get enlisted, is that true? -
Yup, read a lot on the forums about it. Was like dead sure I was gonna get into commandos after reading all the posts, not that I mind though. Too bad I didn't get inOriginally posted by Gordonator:Pasir Ris camp? commando!
As in, for example if I took my medical check-up on May 2004, and a year later after May 2005, if I'm not enlisted yet, I'll have to take another medical checkup again before getting enlisted.Originally posted by Gordonator:u mean like missing your enlistment date? i'm sorry but i'm don't know.
I am one of the unfortunate few who had to suffer a cock up in their system. I left school more than a year ago, and CMPB still registered me as studying. So 1 year gone by just like that... -
hi there...ya , its true that the medical check up result will only be valid for a year..which means u will have to go for another one IF u dun get enlisted this year.....which is kind of troublesome cause u need to go through all the medical stations again..........
-
counting down dates laio lol btw do we bring e same things as bmt? what bags do u guys bring tt time..travelbag can rite those long type 1
-
how come so many units got mono intake ah ? .... the only mono intake i knew during my time was just guards and commandos ... if this is the case then who goes to tekong now then ? ... all those destined to end up in CSS or log side ? ...

30sce is notorious for its bad facilities, worst regimentation.. bla bla. i can only say good luck. and too bad, i wasnt posted there as a pc. but if your future pc bullies u, do come and look for me, maybe they are my friend. haha
