snake24 SG I noticed that Charlie coy trainees in 30 sce have their last day on 8th sep 2006, after that i guess they are no more trainees and become full fledged combat engineers. Anyone currently now serving inside 30 sce can tell me where are these trainees posted to? Are they supposed to still stay inside jurong camp in 30 SCE? Or are there people who get posted out? Btw after finishing the trainee course do these new Combat engineers have the same work timetable as when they were undergoing training or can they book out on weekdays now? Cos when i became an RP after finishing RP training course i was on shift where we work one day off the next day. Thanks guys.
confusedboi SG im a trainee at c coy currently no we will still be trainees until 3 dec 8th sept only marks the end of Field pioneer course where we get the blue beret trainee life still got many months......
snake24 SG OIC, so what's the other course that you guys still have to undergo until 3 dec?SO many months man I understand you have to march from point to point everywhere. and a lot of other regimented crap. How come this friday sept 1st my friend can book out so early on noon time and come home. Btw after you guys fnish your courses do you still have to stay in for 5days a week or have shift work? Sorry for asking all this cos this fella stays in the same place as me and its sometimes inconvinent for me so i just need to know if i have to prepare mentally for him to come home on weekdays after he is done as a trainee
confusedboi SG the reason why yest we got to bookout around 1400 was due to a half day in lieu as a result of AHM we booked in on sunday nite so i guess its kind of a trade off after FPC they say its PIT Platoon integration training?? not very sure what it stands for after turning ops its still a stay in for 5 days plus i dont think its shift work
snake24 SG SO for this week will you guys book in on sunday night? Cos 2 weeks back you guys had 2 day block leave and apparently that means booking in on wednesday night. Really gave me a shock when that fella no need to go back on sunday night. SO you said it was a tradeoff but its always been booking in on sunday night you mean in future its book in on monday morning? so on 8th sep have any POP and more holidays or free or off leave days?
confusedboi SG we will be booking in on sunday nite i think theres some confusion about the half day off basically if we had booked in on last monday morning we would not have the half day off since we booked in last sunday nite we got a half day off just yest to comepensate normal bookout timings are friday nites sat mornings if u kena rt for ippt or soc normal bookin is on sunday nites i dont think after 8th sept will get ani more free holidays
Uncle_MooMoo SG Just curious both of you are tenants or you renting from him, I see you’re quite young and he should be too, so who’s the owner?
Othello_Red SG how is 30 now? i was in the bravo coy that orded in sept 05, the batch before ur charlie batch, had a life 10 x tougher than charlie. wonder if its still the same.
Don© SG So its by alphabetical order? I assume i'll be in delta tomorrow. Anyone knows how long does it take to get to jurong camp from boon lay mrt? Cos I don't wanna be late on the first day.
Patrik SG Take either bus 182(faster) or 193. Bus 182 needs rougly onli about 5 mins to reach jurong camp. 193 takes longer.
Don© SG Thanks patrik, btw around what time i shd be there if my enlistment time is 0800. Cos I need to guage roughly how long it will take to reach there since i live in tampines.
Patrik SG 2 years ago my enlistment time was 0830. My childhood friend was 0800. We went together.Anyway,my point is they wil wait for everyone to turn up. I reached there ard 0730. Then u all will jus sit around in the cookhouse(Yes,that will be ur cook house for the next 2 years) until they announce for u to go queue up and hand over ur ic.
Don© SG Oooh, i think i gotta wake up pretty early The cookhouse food isit edible? And can i sort of go over to the canteen as and when i like?
Patrik SG 30SCE the cookhouse food not very good. Canteen breaks onli sometimes can go onli(depending on ur commanders),cos u still in bmt phase mah.
