Gem SG

there are poly students accepted into vsc. main thing is that if you are a male, have to complete NS first.

if you are female, as long as you are a above 18 years old can apply.

Any idea if I need to go thru the training again if I left VSC in 2004? Anyone?

viciouskitty74 SG

Its very subjective.

I last remembered that you can skipped the training if you left the force less then 4 years ago. Nows 2008 and they might have changed the time limit.

What is the best way to check? Sign up online and indicate on the form? Or call them up directly?

Just submit teh form and indicate that you were a ex vsc, from which intake and when did you leave vsc. they will reply you by mail or during the interview.

Thanks for all the quick replies...Appreciate your helps !

Anyway, I really regretted resigned from the VSC, should have requested for leave during that time due to work commitment. I hope I will be excused from training....or a shorter training :)

Hi guys,

I´m interested to join the VPC corps. But, I´m a regular.

If I wanna join the VPC is it possible? I´m not attached to any unit, as I´m currently on study leave, scholarship scheme. And I ain´t got anything to do during this period of time, as I wouldn´t be called back to camp, so I thought of joining the VPC. Possible?

Do I have to notify anyone or anything? I have yet to send in my application. As I do not know if I need to notify first or apply first.

And I have got one last thing to ask, which is, if I were to be recruited and finish the training, do I get to choose where to go? Like TP unit or like riot police or what? Like uber cool lah. HAHA.

Thanks in advance!

yah, you can apply.

yes, there are army regulars in vsc too.

yes, you need to notify your army supervisor. The understanding is that the need of the army take priority over vsc.

yes, you can request to go where you want.

mckezine SG

ANYWHERE? that´s cool. Even female can go those riot unit ah?

I´m studying now, then notify who?

skythewood SG

you can request, but you may not get posted there.

some special units that require you to stay in is.... not practical for VSC, who are volunteers, and have day jobs. So for riot unit, not really, but you can request.

even if you are studying, there is still some guy you can contact right? it should be the same guy you contact when you need stuff, like enquire for allowance.... there is always some guy, for you to find out.

mckezine SG

hmmm. yea true, just hadda say i wanna apply forr vsc or what? actually im not very good with words you see. and feel bad to bother them.

and lastly, do i apply first or do i notify first?

tia.

skythewood SG

doesn't matter, you are notifying them, not requesting for permission.

where you studying? maybe i got see you in school too

mckezine SG

sky, ite.

you also sign on personnel?

skythewood SG

nope, just another vsc in training too

mckezine SG

doesn't matter, you are notifying them, not requesting for permission.

where you studying? maybe i got see in school too

hey sky, i think is the other way round? not notifying, is requesting for permission? IDK actually. but, i try to apply first, then see what happens (:

and, i'm not in vsc training yet. i just sent in my application like an hour ago. how's the training like anyway? mon & thurs right? and wed is firearms? means?

skythewood SG

just mon and thurs

when it is time for firearms lesson, you will learn it on mon and thurs.

it's quite fun to learn, and you will get to know interesting stuff.

for any volunteer services, like volunteer to help at old folks home, the army won't stop you. but you will still need to notify your superiors. the army will of course take priority, so you will never be able to use the excuse of vsc to avoid doing your part in the army.

if your army training requires you to stay in, and you can't do vsc work for the month, than you will have to apply for leave from vsc, and tell them you are not available.

hey sky,

okay i get what you meant already. cause i thought must go through this and that to get approval. so basically i just have my scholarship incharge lah? only after i go for the interview and get through right? hmmm. i think is so cool, what do we learn in the classes? any eg? and do we hold arms out on duty or what? duties are like walk on the street and stuff or stay in office?

regards.
