  It states there FBO not required, does it mean that SBO, helmet + all other shit also no need bring?? Is it a stay in or stay out vocation?

  Wonder why they say FBO not needed. AFS = Air Force School, so you should be on stay-in course. ADA is comparable to Artillery in Army, so is it siong? You bet!

  To put it in bleaker terms , if the enemy has HARM missiles ,you'll be the first to be targeted

  ok lah...definitely not as shiong as the infantry, engineers, guards, etc...
  
  better life, i think. Anyway since you are in arty, unless you attached to units, else you will most probably at MDA or somewhere safe to fire your weapons, so therefore, no need to do things like dig trench, repel, attack enemies, etc lah..

  eh, they have a very very long march carrying heavy equipment. i think the perception of combat vocations within the airforce is kinda off.
