what is this new 38-wk intensive OCC? is it because they all came from BSLC instead of direct entry? btw, the original OCC how long ah? i myself forgot liao...
I talked to the lady at AFRC the other day and she told me that WOCC's BMT is held at P.Tekong now. Previously used to be directly at OCS sierra wing right? maybe there're really changes recently
Wuming, now no more JCC liao. Originally was 42 weeks.
