Not just clerks, most vocations there are slack including the person who asked u the qn :p He in RSAF if i never remember wrong and damn free to still post here :p
rsaf vocations are physically slack yes i would admit lest ADA, but what we face is more of mental stress and pressure related situations which i dont think you would find in the army, not so sure bout the navy though.

Not really, we have our stresses, our OTs to rush out stuff, targets to hit etc just you dunno only. Already 4got how many days i stay back ALONE in office to finish up my work when everyone else left liao.
There is few vocations which has no mental stress cos mental stress is a very vague term and everyone has some sort of mental stress regardless what they do :p

Sure beats being a HQ BMTC clerk...lol

LOL i want to be technician. Best is specialise in panzers, 3 and 5 tonners.

3 tonnes are being phase out of army. All replace by 5 tonnes liao. I use to be a 5 ton inspector cum electrical and air system 'SME' but now give me i tell u i 4got liao :p

Nice la air system, reminds me of Mercedes S600 G. Can prevent poisonous gases from entering? I cant wait to see how the ECU, pressure plugs works on a 5 tonner lol.

5 Ton air system is for the tires to inflate/deflate depending on terrain. Aircon is done by contractor and our 5 tonners not that good till can prevent poisonous gases from entering the vehicles.
ECU is just a thing u see in the control panel. U won't really see how it works just know that each ECU controls what such as the ADM ECU and the other 2 i forgot...
Pressure plugs? Which u referring to? The air pressure 1s to release air pressure?

Pressure plugs are those which pump in diesel into the highly compressed, normally supercharged cylinders. The finer the discharge, the smoother and better the combustion and shorter time wasted for combustion to fully complete to use the increase in volume for pushing the piston down from dead-top end.
ECU programming or re-mapping can increase vehicle control and improve fuel injection timing using sensors. Like Ferrari got CST off-ing analogue control, in a separately incorporated program called electronic traction control system. Aiya explain to u damn long.
Anyway I am keen on finding out how to program the air system thing. Very interesting.

Auto techs do not repair the engines so there is no chance of you to learn much about the engine except duing class in OETI.
In general i would say what autotech does is to remove and replace. Therefore we mostly remove faulty components and replace with new components. We DO NOT repair the components so you might be abit disappointed.
What you will learn besides the location of all the vehicle parts might be just vehicle inspection, electrical fault diagnostics due to ECU, wiring etc, air system faults due to air leaks, weak/faulty air compressor, PCU etc.
Things like brakes, engine, transmission etc major stuff are all outsource for repairs to enternal contractors.
Anyway i think thats enough of OT. If you have any comments to things to ask, please pm me.
will you be able to know before the actual posting order whether you make it to ocs/sispec, etc, ? i.e. are you being told before passing out?

Nope. You will only know when you see it on ur actual posting order.
hey i'm allergic to grass... now waiting for medical review hopefully can downpes. But i got excuse outfield to open date and OOT from BMT even though my batch is POPing in a few days. I havn't completed any high key. Can anyone please let me know where i may end up getting posted to? Whats the chance that i will get combat posting or recoursed straight away? Thx

If u OOT from BMT, you will not get a combat posting. Recourse will depend on the schedule as well as your PES status since they won't sent you for BMT again until your PES is confirmed. Generally its near the end of service if you perm down PES or before you reach 1 year service if its only a temp down PES and you change PES again before a year is up.
ic... but i thought normally waiting medical review is usually pes D? my PC told me i'm still classified as pes B
Originally posted by soundpunk:ic... but i thought normally waiting medical review is usually pes D? my PC told me i'm still classified as pes B
PES D is only given for medical checkup i think. I don't think PES D is given after that and when you are awaiting a new PES, you remain as your old PES till its confirm. PES status doesn't affect much anyway except what sort of posting you can get which for your case will not be combat due to your OOT.
so from POP till posting orders, no one can be sure of where your next posting can be despite BMT performance ? not a single clue?

"Ha, even I have yet to know which are the men I will be in charge of for posting. A very small team is now doing running through the SIT test results and doing vocation assignments. Camp assignments should start earliest by Friday.
Enjoy waiting..."
Hi Genius1111,
It seems you are a CPC clerk who knows a lot about the insides of Post-BMT Posting Orders; that's great! BTw, you mean a small team of CPC clerks are now sorting/ranking the recent batch of SIT tests / BMT performances, to assign either courses or vocations ? What do you mean by 'camp assignments should start earliest by Friday'? Do you mean that it includes the listings of who's who to go for which courses, etc? You people must be quite fast and efficient in the processing and allocation; to do in a matter of a few days... impressive... care to elaborate further?

Vocation assignments are not done by NSF i believe from all the past discussions on it.
What he does is just receive a few hundred names and look at all the units under his portfolio and just assign ppl to them to fill in all the gaps. The reason why they can do it so fast is because they don't bother to check addresses etc if not it would be months before everyone get their posting if the clerk has to cross check the address of each and everyone and allocate them to their nearest unit.
This is how Jurong people can go Selarang etc and Pasir Ris ppl can go Jurong camp etc
Courses you attend is decided by the respective unit and not CPC.
I'm actually referring to post-BMT posting, not when you are already in unit. After BMT POP what are the determinants for command courses, vocational courses or just initial posting to a unit while waiting for schedules of further courses/training?
Genius1111 mentions about a small team sorting out SIT test results, etc; what are the implications of this? for ranking and selection of personnel for combat / service / technical courses ?
