  haha. join YFC, and go to AFRC to sign up - as we noe, all pilots are regulars.
  
  during your BMT, you may be called up for further interview. if you're in, it'll be after ur BMT.
  
  eyesight requirements: <450deg. for weapons specs (the one firing on a plane, not pilot), it is 50deg.
  
  i got pilot fren, maybe i can enquire for u.

  just try and apply lor.. by the way its wrong forum.
  
  to apply your eye degree cannot exceed 500.
  
  then you must pass all the physical test they subject you to.

  also. you MUST be a Captain. Should take you about 3-4 years.
  
  No Captain No Talk.

  erm, pilots are at least the rank of captain when they are commissioned.
  
  talking about the tests, they include dexterity, anti-g resistance (at least 4.5G, u shld noe, u dun wan to g-loc frequently), colour, eye, neurological ability, agility etc. less than 10% of each cohort qualify.

  dun waste time.... if u have no experience/interest in the aviation field, u have only at most 5% chance of becoming a pilot. to be a fighter, another 20% further.... which = 1% chance

  Basic requirement - have perfect eye sight, worse case 125 correctable (meaning your spec's power cannot be more than 125. Not sure if they have increase this figure)
  
  If you have PPL (Private Pilot License) its an added advantage.
  
  How to get PPL? Join Youth Flying Club. Too old for that? Join Singapore Flying Club.
  
  Then go to CMPB and apply for pilot??

  Because SAF is the ground forces, while RSAF is the air force.

  never heard of ppl fresh from OCS commissioned as CPTs before. unless you are talking about the basic training course to become a Pilot, then that's a different story.

  SAF = Singapore Armed Forces
  
  RSAF = Republic of Singapore Air Force, which is part of SAF together with the Army and RSN
