some likely 8-to-5 vocations:
Clerk (most units. some units may require stay-in,
like PLAB. certain 'garang' combat units like 1CDO requires top
people like CO, CI etc to leave first before stay-out personnel can
leave.)
Storeman (probably about 50% of units, and it is
usually a service unit like GSMB, HQ INF. most combat units require
stay in.)
Vehicle Mechanic 'B' or 'C' (depending on your
unit.)
RP (again, depending on your unit.)
On-course personnel usually get to stay out for
the period of their course. However, the pool has just got smaller
as HQ S & T has now required trainees to stay in. Note also
that most combat schools are stay-in.
stay out units:
CMPB
HQ MINDEF
HQ INF
HQ MES
OETI
staying out is possible if you have a medical/family/personal
problem that warrants it. it is likely that you may want to consult
your PC or MO about this. if your medical condition is of such
severity that you have to stay out or can only do clerical work, do
ask your specialist to write a memorandum regarding your condition
so that the MO can make arrangements for you.
clerical work is usually taken by PES CxL9 or E personnel. note
that tis is not a definitive rule: PES E personnel can undertake
vehicle maintenance, store management or combat supervising duties,
while there are clerks around with other PES status, including PES
A and B. this is because the posting centre will post your vocation
based not solely on your PES grading but on other specific
physical/medical/psychological conditions, which are determined by
the MO, on the advice of specialists if necessary.
