  3sg rank, stay out in your unit. however stay in during training phrase in Air Force School.

  For nsfs, not much of a choice, most likely fighter squadrons, cause heli and transport has been sub contracted out to ST already.

  And either DCC or Armourers..

  btw, tekong just pop meh? how come pop in feb..

  26 Feb 10, 14:59

  PES C intake. Hahaha 040110 enlist, so 7  weeks and im out. Fighter squadron is bad?

• stellazio

  26 Feb 10, 15:01

  theres no good or bad la..F16 squadrons, see you go either changi or tengah loh..

  anyway airforce life is totally different from what you experienced in bmt..so you gotta be more matured, dealing with operations..screw ups are very serious..

  How come I hear from some people have to work shifts? Is it a 8 to 530 job or irregular working hours. Hahaha. Just wanna know.

• kopiosatu

  26 Feb 10, 23:24

  depending on where u are posted

  most of the times its shift

• stellazio

  26 Feb 10, 23:33

  if its fighter squadrons shifts, its not overnight kinda things.. but you can go in as early as 5 if you're morning shifts or even earlier, and finish around 11pm at night if you're night shift.

• stellazio

  Just give you some info.

  Airforce School or AFTC is a heavenly place, when posted to base you will know how good is AFS.

  You will most probably be off lesson/practical after 5 or 5.30, after that is your own admin time, use that time go to gym, go to mess to drink 1.20/can tiger beer, eat chicken culet, play psp... It is really very good life, I rather be a trainee for the rest of my ns period!!

  Air force tech is a 8months in service (BMT 1st day count to 8mths) get CPL rank, 1year to 3SG.

  oh yes, the mess in air force school chicken cutlet is simply superb and unforgettable.

  and their canteen wanton mee is good for breakfast too.

  dunno whether still have "chicken in a basket" or not.

  last time it was damn popular

• teraexa

  7 Mar 10, 19:33

  got. the chicken in a basket is still as popular.

  as for this batch of bmt pes c nsfs - you guys were just thrown to us without any notice from hq so there was a rush to get your lessons ready.

  in any case, stay out during airman orientation programme, stay in for around 4-5 weeks? then u will post to the different squadrons. may be fighter, may be rotary etc.

  enjoy your time in aftc. it will be heaven.
