hi, does anybody know if SPOs can get posted to STAR?
i know that it depends on wether there are vacancies in the unit but that's for a JPO only right?

besides training, training n training

do they get posted overseas? overseas training? UN missions?

is perfect eyesight, height, weight a stringent criteria?

From what I know, you can join STAR as a SO, but still have to be subjected to the selection criteria for SO recruitment. When accepted as SO, you should indicate that you want to join STAR. However, SO must serve about 6 months in a land div before going to STAR (just like CNB also). Think the tour is about 2 years.

You can check out this site http://www.spf.gov.sg/about_spf/star/index.htm to get more info. However, the loading of the flash animation so many..... by the time finish loading, killed by terrorist liao..... HAHAHAHA.... juz kidding.... Laughing

STAR, there is SO….the training is super tough.. but you must have ground experience before you go in.. better if you come from SOC.. since now SOC is taking only regulars.. but normally SO becomes IO instead of STAR

Where there are POs...there will be SPOs one lah...unless you actually have departments running entirely amongst POs? I cant think of any which functions this way...

I wonder how much myopia they allow thou. Mine is about 500 degrees. I already ruled out any possibility of being part of them, even if by sheer miracle I happen to get through in every other aspect of their criteria!
