Thanks man for the information, some of the stuff like the brunie stuff , i have never heard abt in MP before......But hows the selection like...after ur 2 mths, can you like choose where you want to go, or they just post u ....?Originally posted by Saint`:i m in mp rite now .. hmm .. can give u an insight on hws life in mp command .. as a trainee .. u r the lowest lifeform lol.. 5bx every morning n veri regimental .. u hav to march from place to place .. u cant play sports during ur trainee period .. n it is staying in .. onli bking out on wkends... u will hav lots of lectures everyday..ard 3 to 4 outfields in the whole course..basically the day will start ard 530 n end ard 7 or 8 most of the time .. n lights off ard 930 to 10++ depending on ur commanders.
after u pop from trainee phase .. there r some companies u can be posted to .. namely .. school .. hq .. apc .. zpc .. dog wing .. db .. gombak .. n other external units .. personally i m in zpc .. i can say life there is quite gd .. we do stay out .. zpc is enforcement company .. we go ard camps to raid n perform deserter ops .. n of cos we r in charge of mowbray station which is the linkup for all saf units sending in their personnel to db ..
apc is the company who specialise in precision drill n traffic platoon .. drill platoon basically will hav to go through OD ... orientation drills for abt 1 mth to get to flamilarise with the precision drill .. after which u will be activated for NDP , any special occasions , or even foreign VIP visits n u will be required to go IStana to perform some duties . Traffic platoon basically go for traffic rounds n oso required to go for ops n other stuffs
SIB is deal with mostly drug or special saf case which is quite classified too .
SB .. i nt quite sure what they really do ..
Dogwing basically u r trained to take care of the dogs .. n support zpc for camp raids as those dogs can be used to detect drugs n arms as some army personnel hid them .. dogs can sniff them out!
Gombak is something like guard duty ..
HQ n sch is more liek those clerk works ..
other external units .. there r alot .. u can get oversea attachment like going brunei for the whole of ur 2yrs -.- but mind u the pay is like .. 1.5k per mth .. of cos at brunei u sacrifice ur freedom n lifestyle in sg
Hope this piece of info gives u more on what u r going to experience in mp command ^^
overseas attachment is chosen during ur trainee course .. during my course .. there is 1 slot for brunei n some malay guy gt chosen over a few candidates due to the fact that he is a malay .. the commanders consider the fact tat malays communicate easier at brunei .. if i nt wrong there r post at taiwan oso .. jus depend on the availability of the post at the time u r posted inOriginally posted by ToLox:Thanks man for the information, some of the stuff like the brunie stuff , i have never heard abt in MP before......But hows the selection like...after ur 2 mths, can you like choose where you want to go, or they just post u ....?
wat u wanna know? its all abt discipline and enduring... got a few coy u can go to after u pass out from the course like normal mata like tat... after tat is daily duties till u f off... but in the process might get bullied from lao jiao... lucky to no need chiong sua...Originally posted by ToLox:Hi guys, i just got my posting to becoming a MP, any guys here formerly from the same vocation or any idea how the training is like, the life and so on?

I once caught by caught by an MP at a bus interchange for having the shoelace out from my boot.Originally posted by KoolKool:What's this about not holding GF's hands ? I thought the Army trying to blend in with society and encouraging soldiers to travel to and from home and office in uniform. Soldiers in uniform when out of camp should do what normal civilians do, walk casually, saying hello and waving hands, carry umbrella when it is raining. Of course, there are little bit of restrictions like no smoking while in uniform, to uphold some image.
u wat rank? recruit??Originally posted by will4:I once caught by caught by an MP at a bus interchange for having the shoelace out from my boot.

waa u wan to mislead ppl ar.. db is by far the worst coy .. trust me .. i work in ZPC mowbray station n i wan to die already .. the system is mount dismount standby .. among P1,2,3 in zpc .. we r already considered mundane , no life , no joy .. imagine p2,3 go cohesion , fri half day off whilst performing the ever same duties is really really a pain in the ass . Nt 4getting we work section based , meaning 7men 1 spec roughly . This can lead to veri limited exposure to ppl .Originally posted by kiddyduck:MP Command is one of the best unit around...
Trainee, you will go for rigorious training and super high discipline course. Any trouble you give will make you OOC. Respect and greet all seniors if you want a good time.
You will learn MP wartime and peacetime roles and operations like body search and escorting, building PW cage and firing GPMG.... You will need to master your Military Law ( SAF ACT, CAP. 295 ).
Basically after you pass out, you will be posted to the different coys.
Some coys will need to work in mount dismount support styles, so forget your weekends.
The best coys around will be ZPC and DB.
ZPC is the most interesting and exciting coy as they went out for Ops and raids.
DB is the best place where you learn good interpersonal skills and there are many friendly MPs there! They organise a Happy Hour session every month!!
Enjoy your stay in MP Command... Its the best formation around... they organise runs every week to maintain your fitness level. Out-camp runs are also enjoyable as you go for runs in other places in Singapore!!
We always remember this: PRIDE, DISCIPLINE and HONOUR!!

Hwever compared to db , we r like heaven to them . Same system but harsher conditions , i would say it is a living hell . Moreover as saf is moving into 3G, manpower shifting n shortage is by far the most irritating problem . Working in section based enviroment means hell even 1 guy is missing from the post . Future mps do choose ur coy wisely if u hav a choice
