is it? Actually I want to go BMTC because I don't want to be clerk and storeman leh, I heard most mono-peng go in become cho boh one.Originally posted by dragg:mono intake is supposedly much more siong than BMTC.
Anyway what is life in Mono like I quite confused.
Since it's BMT with the Unit, the Unit so free got people just to train the few Mono-peng meh? Then the rest of the Unit do different things from the mono-recruit?? -

i was drafted into artillery, mono intake. i was downgraded to pes c and yet had to follow the unit for all battalion exercises and even live-firings in taiwan. it is certainly not cho boh.
actually mono intake means you will stay in the unit from enlistment to ORD. but for BMTC you can end up anywhere. -
Clerk/storeman? unless you downgrade.Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:is it? Actually I want to go BMTC because I don't want to be clerk and storeman leh, I heard most mono-peng go in become cho boh one.

Otherwise you'd be holding combat appt like rifleman/ arty gunner/tankee/etc
usually you go in as man (as opposed to be a spec/officer) and will be with the unit till you ORD.
People training you will be your future commanders. I think there're cases where BMTC instructors are loaned out to units to be instructors temporarily.
(for infantry) intake will be like 3 companies of recruits. So this unit is undergoing BMT phase. It's certainly not just 'few Mono-peng'. -
it's very rude that u didn't my question which i posted earlier.Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:Anyway what is life in Mono like I quite confused.

for your question above, if u have answered my question earlier, we all here would be able to provide u with more answers. so i'll ask again.
which unit are u posted to?
what's your education level? -
Hi Gordon, sorry for not replying, too many users to reply all.
Anyway I haven't get my unit posting. I'm about to volunteer (17+ now) so I'm quite sure I'll get mono. Anyway you mean for different units, I can apply for BMTC? I did not takes my Os but I'm not a ah beng also, so I was hoping to go BMTC and prove myself and get a better posting so I wouldn't be wasting my 2years. -
Yes u will get mono intake if you are PES A/B (u will know after your medical checkup)Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:Hi Gordon, sorry for not replying, too many users to reply all.

You will be a 'chiong sua' man all your NS life unless u downgrade, till you ORD together with your unit. Your 'instructors' will be your commanders when your unit goes operational ready..(Sec Comds, PS, PC, OC, CO, etc) Even after ORD-ing, u will stay with your unit for your 10 year ICT cycle. You will hence play a part in 'defending' the country as a man..
I dun know wat u define as doing something useful and not wasting your time. Some people find being a clerk is wasting their time, some think being a rifleman is wasting their time and some end up wanting to be in the other person's shoes...
You MAY enter BMTC for Standard BMT, which has NO SIT test which tests your leadership skills, so u will not be able to go to SISPEC or OCS for that matter. Even at the end of BMT at BMTC, u may still be posted to be a rifleman, driver, storeman or anything below vocation grade 25..
If you are PES C, u will enlist in BMTC and after passing out go on to be in vocations such as clerks, storeman, service medic, driver, etc
Anyway u won't be able to 'prove' yourself..Your vocation is more or less decided upon enlistment..especially for someone who doesn't have diploma, A levels... -
considering you are without either diploma or A levels, it doesn't make much different whether u go BMTC or mono-intake, even if go BMTC, u still can't go OCS, chances are slim u will go SISPEC (but still possible if u are very outstanding).Originally posted by Uncle_MooMoo:Hi Gordon, sorry for not replying, too many users to reply all.

most probably they will post u out as a man. in my opinion, if i'm in your shoes, i'll chose mon-intake, cos at least I'm in a combat unit, being a combatant is definately more fun than a clerk or storeman. well, it's my opinion.

I dun think he can be posted to SISPEC directly after his standard BMT at tekong..Originally posted by Gordonator:considering you are without either diploma or A levels, it doesn't make much different whether u go BMTC or mono-intake, even if go BMTC, u still can't go OCS, chances are slim u will go SISPEC (but still possible if u are very outstanding).

He will probably need to be a combatant at his unit, and if he performs exceptionally well, will be recommended for SISPEC, and if he performs superbly in SISPEC, he can go to OCS despite his qualifications..but well that's super super rare..
