importance of each agency due to where the high value targets (HVT) are placed is one thing.. there's also the obvious thing staring which is the budget and size.. defence budget is the hugest shadowing every other ministry, just dedicated to SAF alone. SCDF is among the smallest thing quite at the bottom of the MHA food chain (not sure but is it on par with Prison Services or below). Bulk of MHA budget goes to SPF. A lot of the money to Mindef goes towards buying the leopard tanks, fighters F16, Apaches, choppers, ships and Bionix and other Infantry Fighting Vehicles of SAF..and see how the government proudly parades them on NDP.

it'd be a sight to see them parading police cars, hoses and hydrants on NDP. do they?

If anyone has any advice pertinent to the TS's question, feel free to contribute.

As for other off-topic issues regarding one's personal opinion of the importance and/or the role of the SCDF, please discuss it in the proper forum, which clearly isn't here.

Hi, dumbdumb....

Y not? scdf

Become a fire fighter, post to firestation... work 1 day rest 2day

So 1 month you work for 10 days, 20 days at home

SGT take about thousand plus a month

PTE take about 700 plus a month

Man!x SG

Why go SAF? SCDF pay more, and when you ORD, they dont even strictly insist on passing IPPT.( From what i gather from my SPF/SCDF friends)

Adding on to TS question, is it possible for regular SCDF to transfer to regular SAF when you're near the end of the SCDF bond? Any possibility to carry the bond over to SAF? Also, are there any advantages/disadvantages for transfering from SCDF to SAF? eg. exemption of BMT or shorter OCS?

eonian SG

Never see regular scdf transfer to saf before lay. SAF regular transfer to scdf ...tons of them... Dont think got exemption of anything.... diff type of training..

Army SCDF

BMT-3month BRTC-7weeks (I failed my IPPT)

Spect Course -6months ERS-6months -fire fighter SGT course

OCS-9months BOC-9months -Officer course

Fire fighter course -3months.Post out as PTE

Quite disappointed when i saw i posted to SCDF. During that time my friends all laugh at me. When i get my first SGT pay, i laugh back them... 1 year 365 days, 1 year 120 duty, so rest of the 245 days i'm staying at home during my NS days.
