Hello, can I check with you guys,

2. Do I get 7 days leave after my Passing Out Parade?

3. I'm graded as Pes C2 L9 Temp, what will i most likely do during BMT?

Pardon me if these questions have been asked, would like to know more before enlisting. Thanks and I appreciate it.

1. Your first book out will be on the 25th May.

2. You will get 5 days (Monday to Friday) of leave after POP.

3. You will still do live firing, throwing live generade, field camp (2D1N), doing PT (brisk walking, sometimes got games) etc

btw, you will spend 4 weeks in Tekong only. The remaining 5 weeks will be vocational training at various camps on mainland.

Thank you for the reply.

Hmm, you mean the remaining 5 weeks will be at the unit that I will go to after my POP?

5 days (Monday to Friday) of leave after POP is my entitled leave right? So if I were to add Saturday and Sunday, It would be 7 days to be exact, am I right?

Thanks

The remaining 5 weeks you will undergo training for your vocation at some camp. (for example, they train all clerks at STC). After POP, you will continue the training (if that particular vocation training is more than 5 weeks) or you will be posted to your actual unit, where you will stuck to for your 2 yrs, unless they shift you around.

To be exact, you will have 7 days. This is an entilement, not a previlege. It can be taken away to be part of your punishment.
