8 Sig

Unknown_X SG

Wah biang.. one thing that irks me is that my C9L2 friends happily made their way through to become some technician, clerk or storeman or whatever stay out vocation. And being a L9, I'm posted to some stay in unit, drawing some combat pay.

Quoting from NS.sg

"C9 - No IPPT, L9 - Suitable for peacetime sedentary duties at Bases. Not fit for operational duties even in Bases"

So why me?

Maybe I'm illiterate or somehow manage to misinterpret the medical directive; but anyhow... the next time anyone cites to me any directive at all, I'd be utterly amused.

imagine those pes e clerks who stay in at tekong then. dun complain so much la, learn as much as u can inside and make the best out of a bad situation.

interesting. were u PES C9L9 when you got posted to Infosys Operator COurse?

I'd always tot that the course was meant for PES C2L2 and above.

In any case as said before, 8 Sig Bn is a 24/7 ops ready Bn, and does not support any specific infantry/guards/armour Bn.

I believe her operations are still classified, so telling them online will have me charged haha...and nope, don't wanna drink tea with MSD.

Life should be quite siong in my opinion, since it's a new Bn and trying out (read: test mice) for the army's new initatives. The upside is 8 Sig Bn resides in Stagmont Camp, which is pretty near Lot 1! haha....

The most constructive thing I've heard so far, thanks Sir Sickolot.

Yes, I was C9L9 the day I went to CMPB for the medical checkup. Like you, I always thought that infosys operator course is only for C2L2 and above. Apparently, they're testing the water this batch and the L9s became their guinea pigs.

Classified? Yes, a need to know basis... So knowing them can already get you charged

Heard we will be expecting a lot of weekends to be burnt... What a lovely start...

Weekends burnt for what reason?

Exercise

sir sickolot II SG

exercise and operations. And I say operations and not exercise because what 8 Sig does it really, well, ops. hahaha. dam.. revealing too much liao.

I'm also quite certain there's alot of Guard Duty, cause the 30 days duty is rotated amongst SI, 2 Sig and 8 Sig. And sometimes SI got no ppl on course.

I rem I pity the 3SG from 8 Sig, always kenna duty. haha

I guess since 8 Sig is not really chiong sua kind of work... so C9L9 can fit in. Lucky you, no SOC, range or IPPT. Then again, i've seen many C9L9 do lots if sai kang. Don't think juz cause u've got a PES status means u've got some immunity idol. Trust me, the SAF don't give a flying f**k. Sadly this is the case, due to lack of manpower and what not.

hope it helps haha

8th Signal Bn is not that 'sensitive' as compare to the Signal unit deep inside Nee Soon Camp.
