is IC2 much tougher than IC1 or generally still slack compared to other vocations?
kinda worried as i got a niggling injury which bothered my throughout the whole bslc
IC2 is "physically" more demanding because of the fact that you will be on foot most of the time. If you posted to infantry, you are expected to perform whatever a riflemen does besides your signal role too.You will have to lug around that bloody manpack radio on top of the usual combat load. Route march have to go,field camp have to go,they attack up the hill,you go along with them,they run,you run too.
Watch that injury of yours especially if it is lower limb or spinal.

me was from 08/07 IC2 Signal Course...same batch with Detached just that he is IS me is IC2...actually all this doesnt matter, depends on ur unit.
if u got to 7SIB, signaller there quite good life except now quite sux cos of MSK so on ops..if not is 1-2 mths once 1 exercise, how i know? my buddy in SI was in 7SIB before he came to SI...their beret looks nice too lol, its the normal blue one with the GDS crest.
if u go to TRADOC which i am at now..got 2 units, one is gd(TRMC) other 1(BFI) is abit sian 8-5 but got overseas attachment which dey jus came back from.
but of cos..the best to go is RSAF. signaller life there is good, some even get to sit in chopper! lol
anyways, the course time is fucking easy, just smoke ur way through..of cos got some legendary CCs there like mr fairy 1WO Ng, the mama 1WO Margaret and colonel sanders 1WO Ramesh lol..
very few commisioned officers in SI except for the cadets who stay in the 2nd level followed by the specs trainees in 3rd floor and 4-6 is occupied by the operator trainees.
there is 2 fucked up things abt SI tho..alot of guard duties and the food. lol the food u will get used to but the guard duties is no no lol.
OC is quite strict, no nonsense kind one, MWO Ravi. jus make sure dont get in trouble den shld be fine bah. if u got any suggestions, tell LTC Logan, he is really power.
the RSM is really very strict, dont play play. i once forgot my jockey cap when we went to the parade square frm the labs to test the BFTS den he caught me wah nb..regret sia.
but overall SI is a really great place, met my best buddies there and truthfully, i havent met any better ppl even in CV life den this band of brothers. these few, kay long, edmund, nash, koh bin, chris, andre and calvin..really brings back memory. lol cant forget my course spec yaowen lol wad a joker.
if u do smoke, pls dont throw in the drain at the smoking corner. dat time when me and my buddies smoking, i realise those guys from IS were cleaning it..really dont be a bastard bah, all also signallers..one for all and all for one.
the course is pretty easy..CCNA can smoke thru one can even get full marks one LOL dont worry im sure u sure know how to do dat once u there lol...
the outfields are ok lah jus dat now is hot season liao jus rmb to drink up always. my course time had this 2SG, he had heat exhaustion and fainted. so better be safe den sorry.
all the best to you and enjoy ur time in SI.

WO Ravi is now MWO Ravi ah, and OC somemore ah! wow hahah, used to by my Course Commander. Very nice guy actually, but i think since he became OC must have some responsiblity. He's been in the force for a good many years, in fact he was once RSM 6 Sig Bn if I'm not wrong!

actually was quite disappointed with SI.. the bunks and all. bunks quite squeezy compared to sispec and place looks quite run down =/ but oh well..

at my place, signaller life=heaven and get to do alot of new stuffs dat ppl dont really get to do in their nsf life for land vocations. such as going up in a SP and fixing the signal set onboard and of cos, accompanying the CDOs for their heli l/f, this one very fun:D
and @ exonerate, Welcome to SI. dont complain abt the bunks and stuff bah, you will get used to it, Stagmont aint exactly a new camp bro. actually SI stand by bed also so slack so doesnt really matter leh.if im not wrong right, when u finish ur spec course in SI, the cadets will also finish right?

Haha... Ic2 still got chance to become sgt of SI de... Must show your leadership there... No need to become top trainee de cos most of the top trainee will be sent to those very xiong unit... Trust me... Sometime depend on your sgt recommendation also de... But those who are in ic1 now, pls get along well with the cso of truck comm team cos they will tell our team warrants who is good to be instructor... LOLz... Cos i am one of the ex cso in the camp who are instructor of ic1...
Other than that, the food there really sux... Haha... But canteen i dunno whether aunt still there or not... The wantan me and fried chicken chop power... But she a bit attitude problem... Haha... The cookhouse at one time very nice cos PM lee son was in the camp, after that i dunno le la... Lolz...
IS was introduce in 2005 so i dun think it will face out de lo... But ic1 intake was reduced cos all radio sets are damn heavy and old le... Hehe... Enjoy your stay there la...Wait for the cadet to come back lucky enough can see gals... I took several gal trainees before le.. But ic2 no gal de la... Be it spec or operator... Hehe... Good luck...
