Hee Thanks a million surferpunk~ Now i feel alot more prepared Mr. Green
Btw, which camp u went to? I'm going to jalan bahar

surferpunk SG

Same la. All go Jalan Bahar. First stop always at BRTC. But Im already in CDA now. For the ERS course. Still got 23 more weeks to go. Sigh...

phatmonsta SG

Thanks guys. That really gives us the basic of what to expect when we go in. For pes c n diploma holder, the most i can get is clerk n driver position rite? Or is there any other position?

idir23 SG

u can become info-comms operator…driver….clerk….lucky enuff can sometimes become medic….

SMRT Buses SG

Medic good life & if you're real lucky, you can be part of the medic team which is the 2nd best vocation Cool

SMRT Buses SG

IMO, Charlie is still the best company to be in Cool

joeacid SG

geesh, now i'm still stuck with the problem of my spec~
Dunno to spend money and buy a black plastic frame or not~ coz like you say, dunno my unit okay with it or not~~

joeacid SG

wats CDA? ERS?

ben1406 SG

i never had a problem with my Oakley's. Blue metal frame..

SMRT Buses SG

CDA Civil Defence Academy

ERS Emergency Response Specialist

SMRT Buses SG

Me too, my frame is all blue & its 100% plastic for the whole specs...

joeacid SG

Hmm… so its basically alright? But i have to make sure its a plastic frame?

SMRT Buses SG

Yes but not those fancy types & its much safer to have 100% plastic including the lenses otherwise if break, you might get an eye injury which I'm sure you won't want that to happen right Rolling Eyes

joeacid SG

Yup, you're rite Very Happy Thanks alot~

Btw, how long is the confinement for the BRT? Is it the same as BMT? 2 weeks?

SMRT Buses SG

There's no confinment unlike SAF, you'll enlist on a Tuesday then book out on Friday evening Cool

joeacid SG

Sure?! It's that nice?! Yay! So the days will be normal 5 days week? If mine is a 7 week BRT that means i just have to normally book in on Monday and book out on friday until my 7 week BRT ends? Hee Mr. Green

Btw, what's FFS? and SCT?

Hmm... Please don't mind me asking this, hmm... Do you know roughly thr portion of Malay/Chinese/Tamil in SCDF?

bbbc SG

Why they ask you to bring cert is simple....cause you need to be at least have 5 'o' levels to get into ERS.

If you have less than 5 o levels, but pes B or A, myopia less than 500degrees then you have a chance to go to FFC(fire-fighting course)

If you're chosen for ERS or FFC then you wont go for Basic rescue training. Instead, ull head straight to CDA for specialised fire-fighting training.

bbbc SG

u'll most likely book out every friday and book in by sunday during BRT stage.

Most of the scdf personnals are malays but chinese and indians in the minority, and its not uncommon to see guys w lots of tattoos over their bodies

SMRT Buses SG

As "bbbc" has already mentioned, you'll book in on Sunday evenings & book-out on Fridays evenings BUT unless you're unlucky enough to kena guard duty then that's a total different story altogether...

As for the portion part, well mostly are malays whereby you can spot several with tattoos, some visble whereas some aren't but as long as you try to get along with each other, I'm sure you'll enjoy your recruit life Wink

joeacid SG

Icic~ If i already have my diploma, should i stil bring along my 'O' lvl cert?
