You should have asked for the address.
I have no idea wheres the camp since the location of the underground ammo base was not publish in news i believe and even if it was, i won't have taken any notice.
Any contact number of the new unit given to you or can u call back OCS to ask?

I seriously doubt SAF will look into your diploma etc when deciding vocation since all my experience shows otherwise. As a auto tech, out of the 60+ in my batch, i think only 1 had mechanic knowledge with a large number of us from the science, business and IT fields which is totally not related to repairing of vehicles. Furthermore, SAF do not take in people who have driving licences for drivers.
Whether or not medic is given special piority due to them dealing with live human beings i'm unsure but in general, your course of study has little effect in affecting ur posting from what i know.

oh ok. rather concern cause i don't like medic training. What chances of posting normally C9L9 get?

Autotech, medic, driver, clerk, storeman the typical logistics side vocations.
I won't bother posting any vocation that has very low odds are are like 1 in a few hundred chances.

Maybe during your time, but not now. I would say a good 5-10% of SAF drivers already hold class-3 licence before even enlisting. So the only thing to look forward when ord is the class 4 licence..

That would violate the reason they did not allow ppl with license to be drivers in the past cos they dun wan them to zuo bo etc during the driving course since people who knows how to drive will be way ahead of the others.
However SAF is ever changing so nothing is forever concrete though 3-4 yrs back i still hear that ppl with driving licences cannot be drivers.

i am a driver in the saf , and some of the drivers now have cv license but they are still being posted as a driver. But maybe those with class 3 cv license will chiong for the class 4. But for my unit its hard to get a class 4 though. -
nothing beats being a runner
best vocation of all

However are you sure the drivers had their CV licenses when they were enlisting or did they get it after their enlistment?
If i didn't recall wrongly, i think during preenlistment, it is asked whether you have a driving license or not though i might be wrong. Some of them might have gotten their license after they filled in the form etc i guess.

my buddy in bmt studied nursing, and was posted as a medic..

Unsure about the odds of a nursing student being posted to medic but there are surely alot of nursing students who do not become medics. There is always chance of friends who got into a vocation base on their 'specialisation' but there are alot more out there that get thrown to something totally unrelated.
For eg, my entire batch of 60+ autotech, only 1 was an ITE student who studied on automobile. If he was the only friend i known, i might have said that an automobile student would have a high chance to become an autotech yet he was only 1 out of the 60+. Get what i mean?

technical specialization is not that related to that extent as per say nursing to medics.. and i do know of many nsf airforce technicians who had diplomas in engineering and IT more then those from other areas of expertise.. so i think its fair enough to say that there is a slightly higher chance..however command schools take precedence..

I am a technician myself, do you think i dunno the ratio of the type of courses people were from and posted to that vocation? What has IT got to do with technicians anyway? Almost all the medics i know were not nursing dip graduates so out of the 100s of nursing graduates each year really get into medics and not other vocations that you really know of rather than just 1 case?
Actually i would say someone who studied automobile in ITE is more qualified than most of the rest of us in all vehicles repairs, do the work quicker and more efficiently but theres hardly any of them sent to be a autotech.
If you want to say there is a higher chance, why do drivers rarely get driver vocations? Aero Eng/tech students not mostly get technician in RSAF etc etc. I know of many poly grads who were posted to fields totally unrelated to their course of study regardless how they they have done and many did not choose to go to command school.

wahh technician posted at CPC ah? Know the ratio et al

You don't need to even be at CPC to know the education of your peers and I do not believe CPC clerks can and bother to check the NSF's education background to determine posting.

err fyi, aero eng/tech students the field they're in is held by regulars in the rsaf.. the nsf techs in rsaf do not service aircrafts at all..what has IT grads gotta do with techs? a technical job in the rsaf is not all bout mechanical work, airrcaft has systems.. thats why im saying from what i know, the people who works closely with me, i know their education has maybe somewhat played a part however minor it is. its too many to ignore..in fact few years ago, technicians in the rsaf only took in poly grads from engineering/it courses and there were no A lvl grads at all. see the logic?
