  i think there's a very small chance for you to go BMT. in fact, i think it's almost impossible. so yes, you should be going for mono intake.
  
  depending on your PES status, should be going for a combat vocation.

  Not "some". Quite a lot, in fact. Except for Signals, all the other combat formations muster their "main body" (Hokkien peng) this way. So we're talking about some 20 units -- SAR (4), SA (4), SIR (6), GDS (2), SCE (4) -- although not everyone are ORDing at the same time. Then you have NDU & CDO, as well as the SPF & the SCDF, who all also do their own mono-intaking.

  I was responding to another poster, not you.
  
  That said, not completely sure about SPF. They call theirs mono-intake too but their BMT is all done at the Police Academy, I believe. Kinda like their version of Tekong BMTC. So where got mono?
  
  Of the 20 units I alluded to, there is one (24 SA) which I'm not sure about. A lot of sophisticated equipment in that unit, which may be too cheem for mono-intakers. If so, then it should be grouped with 1 SIG & the SADA units (Air Defence Arty -- are they SAF or RSAF?) as combat support units requiring more qualified personnel.
  
  Come to think about it, can anyone confirm TRADOC/ATEC's Aggressor Company is also mono-intake? They're supposed to be GDS-trained.

  OPFOR is Guards-trained? Does that mean they go through GCC? That's the first i've heard of it.

  Don't take all that you read in Tim Huxley's book as correct.
  
  However, not all things are in the public domain and should remain so.
  
  From what we can see, TRADOC trains their own guys, cuz you have people posting there as rifleman from BMTC.
