Down PES: Post Out? Ask S1 Manpower Officer/Chief Clerk?

Actually how do they choose trainees to go ASLC or other vocations ar?
Do they based on your DIploma and test results in the BSLC.
eg. You did well in Signals, most likely you become signal spec...?
5 BSLC coys and only 2 ASLC coys...
WHich means less than half of the BSLC trainees go ASLC?
I don't wish to go ASLC, I like to go other vocations, what are the things I need to do that will have high chance to go other vocations?
My preferred vocations are Signals, as my Diploma is specialised in it. -
up to CPC.......heheheeh
depends who taking in next batch...
i noe that there is an intake for Combat Medic Specs for the 38th BSLC batch... -
come to SPT...
its the best... -
how to get into these vocations? whats SPT ar?

School of Physical Training....Originally posted by kiddyduck:how to get into these vocations? whats SPT ar?
in my opinion...best vocations are as a
1. Fitness Specialist
2. Signals Specialist
3. Combat Medic Specialist
when u ORD>....u really have skills that can be used.... -
ASLC is to train BSLC CPLs into Infantry and Guards specialists. those that didn't get ino ASLC will be posted to support formation for further training,
ETI, nee soon camp for combat engineers
SI, stagmont camp for signal
AI, khatib camp for artillery -
its quite random....
i dun tink u hv much choice... -
From what I can see from other friends, most of them are posted to Signals, Medic and Airforce vocations. Does this means they will also be taking more specs of these vocations?

now they need.......The warrants in SMM are unhappy that medics are treated as 2nd class soldiers and wants their sergeants to be bslc trained like all other vocation sergeants except logistic ones...Originally posted by thoreldan:wow i didnt know medic also need to go thru sispec
its a bold move if u ask me....
but its stressfull....
20 weeks cramped into 14.....and medicine is hard to study.... -
it used to be they promoted medic men to 3SG if they are selected for spec II course. same goes for MRF too.
but now the system i heard is they will directly send BSLC CPLs to SMM now. does that apply for MRF too? no more MRF men promoted to 3SG?
-
MRF pending uh...but i dont see y not.....its all up to the encik....MRF is a 'Unit' by its own theyre specialists in their own field....all will ORD as 3rd sergeants....but some will be spec 2 trained....systems will always change...Originally posted by Gordonator:it used to be they promoted medic men to 3SG if they are selected for spec II course. same goes for MRF too.

agree with this...Originally posted by Rockhound:now they need.......The warrants in SMM are unhappy that medics are treated as 2nd class soldiers and wants their sergeants to be bslc trained like all other vocation sergeants except logistic ones...
last time during my active days, got one medic from cpl -> 3SG.
But the men all dont respect him, call him by his name. i think they too used to calling his name before he became a 3SG -
i always liked the idea of promoting Men to specialists. at least can have something to look forward to, something to fight for, something like a 2nd chance to be a commander.Originally posted by Rockhound:MRF pending uh...but i dont see y not.....its all up to the encik....MRF is a 'Unit' by its own theyre specialists in their own field....all will ORD as 3rd sergeants....but some will be spec 2 trained....systems will always change...
personally, i have seen and known quite a few medic/MRF guys, seen them from a PTE trainee to becoming a 3SG specialist.

hmm... i find that SISPEC 3SGs are more capable in handling and managig their men, men will feel that distance between them and their sgts.Originally posted by thoreldan:agree with this...

as for medic 3SG, because they were once a man also, he will tend to has more of the man mindset instead of a specialist.
well, it's also a well known fact that if a soldier who is preciously a man in a troop and is promoted to a commander, he must be transfered to command a different troop. he can't stay to command his own troop as his men will not give him the respect, since the men has already known him so well, as what thoreldan's example above imply. -

If not wrong there are
Modified Spec II course which is for the BSLC trainees (btw, it's longer than ASLC I think)
Spec II for those Combat Medics who at a later date go for the course to become 3SG
MRFs still continue on to go for their SPEC IIs..joining the Combat Medics batch, not the BSLC batch -
theyre gonna phase out the system of combat medics with the advent of the new Spec II system now...we now have changed names to Spec II Alpha cos we're the first batch...MRFl should be having their own Spec II training....Originally posted by CKtalon:If not wrong there are
