Congratulations Littlemouse, welcome to Changi Air Base (CAB)
Yes, for other RPs, its a 2-week course. But yur unit is Field
Defence Squadron,
so u will have to undergo 3-months of stay-in training. So bring
ALL yur army barang barang on the reporting day.
During the 3 months, u will go thru RP tutorials, telling u abt the
laws of SAF and yur jurisdiction. You will also go thru basic
infantry skills training like weapons handling, platoon/section
live firing, chemical defence, FIBUA, foot drills...etc.
After training, u may be posted to another Air Base depending on
manpower requirement, but most likely u will remain at
Changi.
U will be performing RP duties in shifts, and dun expect 1 day, 1
day off. FDS does not have that luxury. The shift situation changes
all the time, but the best u will get is probably 2 days on, 1 day
off.
