Ok I think OETI means like engineering and technical
Institute.
How to like work myself, like perform accordingly to get inside
there?
It stands for Ordnance Engineering Training Institute.
Honestly speaking,no one knows how they allocate the
vocations.It all seems very randomized.
From what I have seen,quite a number of my friends who did
diploma in electronics/mechatronics ending up as technician during
their NS.I guess their diploma might have influenced their posting
but there is no gurantee that every person who takes the same
course will end up doing the same job.
During your BMT,you can voice out to your PC during interviews
that you would like to be a technician after you POP...they will
take note but they won't be able to do much about it.
As for part time studies,if you are allowed to stay out and have
the time,you can go for it.BUT,you must be mentally prepared that
you might not be able to attend all the lessons or you might end up
being late for some.This is especially true during periods where
there are inspections/audit/excercises.If you need extra time off
to study,you have to ask your OC(Boss) for permission.If they say
no,then there is nothing you can do about it.Do note that the army
will not sponsor your course,it will be entirely your own
initiative to do part time studies.
One word of advice as a NSF,please DO NOT miss out on a recall
manning should there be one and use studies as an excuse.That will
be asking for trouble as I have seen in serveral cases.If you do
not know what a recall manning is,don't worry,you will be familiar
with it once you are serving.
Wish you luck in getting the vocation you want!
PS:Only sure way of becoming a technician is if you sign on to
be one!Lol!
