hey guys ,

i`m been confirmed to go for the armament tech( turret) ..anybody that was from this course ? can tell me more about it?

thanks for any help!!

goaler SG

i was trained in OETI as a armament turret mech when i was in the army. Turret is the moving "thing" above the tank.
You will be trained in repairing during kinds of turrets, like SM1, 40/50 Cupola, boinix etc. Also, as a turret mech, you will also have to learn small arms... got to learn all sorts of rifles, M16, Saw, GPMG, Coax...
Think you will meet one of your instructor, 1SG or 2SG Martin, he is my fren... help me send my regards to him.. Very Happy
We attended the course together, he is a regular, and he stayed on as an instructor. Quite a nice guy... learn more from him.

OETI not bad.. at least it is a stay out unit. Furthermore, it;s at ayer rajah... easy to go anywhere... Not like some camps... far away from the towns

I think your course shld be abt 3-6 months..
enjoy yourself there..
and also, the chicken wings in the canteen is very famous..
u must go and try.. Laughing

welcome to armor Laughing

armament_ tech SG

thanks for the answers , guys...wow , sounds very fun..but life in unit is all about repairing tanks and guns only?

nismoS132 SG

repairing tank under hot sun with camo and SBO Laughing

zanshin SG

Laughing
many people think that techs only stay in camp........they are sooo wrong.
think of yourself as the "medic" for the tanks..

deathscythe99 SG

And a "medic" who needs to rush everything out in time Laughing

And whatever you learn in OETI, u realise it ain't enough

Shadow Dancer SG

alot of ppl think technician very eng, god damn it. yes, OETI is really shiok, but if u kana ‘A’ Veh technician,wait til u posted to armour units in sungei gedong then u will cry. No vocation is easy at sungei gedong.

deathscythe99 SG

x2.

2&3 GSMC damn xiong. Lagi worse if you go unit.

But overall, it's a good vocation, at least you learn technical stuff, i.e. fixing of stuff lor.

Next time, fixing of your own stuff should be relatively easier Laughing

Most technical ppl like to dabble in fixing stuff Wink

sm1 final drive 282kg

dunno how they fit the thing in field, 8 people carry the thing off tonner very kang kor already Laughing

LazerLordz SG

Sigh.All the heavy items the Heavy Arms techs and the 'A' Veh Techs have to lug..you guys deserve a cold one on the house.

kamper SG

look forward to LRI, good luck

deathscythe99 SG

Ya lor Laughing

And talking about sm1 final drive being 282kg, I think forget it lar...once the vehicle down, it's gonna take a LONG time to re-haul it up...in battle, doubt u've time for it lor

nismoS132 SG

it took us 18 hours to get it going. minus 6 hours of waiting time for the part to arrive, another 3 hours of waiting to deliver the correct part, 2 hours of maggi time, and about 4 hours sleep Laughing

nismoS132 SG

no leh that time my outfield all these spare parts are with the vespa store and RMT people leh, the ones lugging it are storemen, coms techs, armorers and drivers Laughing

either way, welcome to armor, pray you don't come to 41

LazerLordz SG
