driving to camp
-
i just got my driving license last month and i would like to drive to camp
do i need to show them my driving license at the guard house? -
No.
Just for your info, depends on which camp, you need to seek clearance from camp's CCO or relevant departments...
Some need. Some dont. -
u need permission to drive in.
and why wouldn't u be carrying ur driving license? its not a SOP for RP to check ur driving license but they can check u if they suspect u do not hold a license -
You'll need a pass or sticker if im not wrong, issued to you by ur camp. For my camp nsf who drive in, have to take up defensive driving. But most of the time they don't bother.

but i dun see ppl doing it....
RP also dun bother to check. -
Since different camp have different requirments, why not tell us which camp you are driving to?
If you are a staff there, then most likely you need a pass/label, except for some units like CMPB then you don't need. But if you are just a visitor there, each time need a visitor and car pass to be exchanged from the pass office.Originally posted by keropoking:i just got my driving license last month and i would like to drive to camp

You a personnel from there?Originally posted by keropoking:i am driving to seletar camp, 39SCE -
Ask your RSM or CCO.
-
In this case, you will need a vehicle pass, which you can apply through your unit. However, it depends on your unit whether do they approve it or not. What's your rank anyway?Originally posted by keropoking:i am driving to seletar camp, 39SCE

I don't see the big problem camps have with issuing labels for personnel to drive in.
Usually these personnel are perm-staff at HQ or doing admin work. Needless to say, for combat personnel, driving in is almost a waste because the car just sits there from mon-fri. But for admin staff, they normally get to book out every day. So driving is definitely much more convenient.
I find that camps that refuse to issue parking labels to NSFs who drive, usually claim "security issues" as the main reason, which of course, to me is nonsense. That's the whole point of the label - to issue one to an unit personnel so they can identify who's who.
I find that the underlying reason is that these units/camps are too "kilat", and it's no surprise that the CO or S3 usually have inferiority complex. If they are driving a Toyota Altis, they can't stand it when an NSF comes in in a BMW, Lexus, or modified Lancer. It's all a question of face.
My ex unit was a "kilat" unit for the wrong reasons. Every rule they had was ridiculous. Driving in was one of them. Apparently the S3 had problems with NSFs driving in and wouldn't issue extra labels. Well, we were mostly returning from disruption and drove nonetheless. Thank god our S1 was a reasonable man and even though he knew we drove in, never made noise.
My friend always parked his Lexus next to the CSM's car. Not that he wanted to spite the CSM's hyundai, but the first day he drove in, the CSM made a sarcastic comment about how "NSFs cars are bigger than us regulars". My friend didn't like the comment very much.
Well, like i said, my unit didn't issue labels. But my S1 didn't have a problem. Neither did the RPs give a damn. By the time anyone really gave a damn, we had already ord.
Damn this post is long. But i really get worked up over silly SAF policies. -
replying to thread above...
i tot normally they will set aside parking lots for the big shots of the units? then the other regulars n officers n nsf will park elsewhere... -
It's not a question of taking up commanders' parking lots.
It's the idea that they can't stand seeing an NSF driving a more expensive car than them. -
juz drive in straight. the RP willl tell u wat they wan.

Such regulars have too much free time on their hands to comment on their men's cars.Originally posted by LetterboxMind:I don't see the big problem camps have with issuing labels for personnel to drive in.
