pandemonium SG

female specialists all in Tekong right? Those sign on as air force officers also in Tekong. Army officer cadets have their BMT in SAFTI

icystalk SG

hmm actually is all female both combat n service side in tekong ...except for those becoming officers, their bmt is at safti (includes air, army, navy) They are categorise as wocc (women officer cadet course) Wink

Every 6 months there will be Specialist (they eventually will be) female intake at tekong.

Combat recruits will stay at converted instructor's bunk during their stay at tekong. But their discipline have been deproving these years. They take advantage of their "special no-male zone" to smoke and sleep past thier 2230.

Service recruits will have the entire company line to themselves. Stay at fifth floor and they seldom take more than 2 rooms. But i can tell you that when we prepare the bunks for them, we did not set up shower curtains....

2-3 days before a Service female intake, we need to prepare their bunks, i.e. hang blankets to double as curtain. put Concentina at every level with there is a connecting company.

install cameras in their shower area for security reasons (serious!!! Mr. Green ) haha

er.. the info a bit confusing leh.. so female air force officers get their training at where? safti or tekong? Question

Ah Cek SG

safti mi.

pandemonium SG

It depends. Coz I talked to both army and rsaf recruitmt officers during career fair.. For army it's fixed, 2 intakes per year, in Dec (er.. Jan? cant rem) and Jul. And for rsaf, the officer told me not to worry coz the bmt intake is flexible. if it coincides with the usual wocc intake (Dec/Jul) then will be at safti. If not then it'll be held at tekong.
So as far as the above info is concerned, it shld be still valid coz the career fair was the recent Mar one. Anywau the air force guy simply cant give me a definite answer for the date of intake, which is really frustrating. u noe, after gradn got to plan for hols and stuff. wat if the intervw dates clash etc?

Even though you will go tekong for BMT if you sign on as Officer, most of the time they will put you in the OCS intake.

Because it will be easier for them to consolidate female trainers, etc.

As for the intake dates, just be prepared to be called 2 weeks before enlistment.... you will then be rushed for medical checkup up and later rushed to Army logistics base for you issue items.

If you sign on as specialist, you might be enlisted 2 weeks to 1 months before BMT and you will be in a unit first to "waste time" before you start your BMT training.

I wonder who keep those videos Mr. Green

Ponders SG

i hope you are not taking the video part seriously.

but ya.. no shower curtains for BMT females... i would want to "accidentally" walk in.

i_heart_icecream SG

Hey, here's something i'm curious abt..

What will happen in a female in SAF realises that she's pregnant halfway thru any of the courses (like BMT, OCS or whatever)? I know there's this 12weeks maternity leave thingy, but does any1 knows whether the lady gets 2 go home n rest a few months b4 she gives birth? I mean, with the huge belly, can't even fit into the uniform right? Rolling Eyes

Ponders SG

Usually she will not sign on if she plans to get pregnant. And they can't escape the medical checkup.

But if they get pregnant after enlistment, their contract provides for 3 times recourse before change of vocation.
