am back from my 1st wk at Signal Institute for SIG OPR IC2
course.. as heard from many pple the course itself is not very
physically tiring, but its mentally tiring.. why mentally? cos u
got to study a lot of things.. a lot of lessons but very little
time.. self study somemore.. and worst thing is u studying
something very foreign for more pple (unless u took IT related
courses in poly.. or u have knowledge of how radio works). And
since im Pes C, the course is 5wks instead of 6. so basically is
eat study slp. lol
as many said, its after the course whether its xiong or not (see
whether u get posted to garang unit or slack unit). which of cos i
dunnoe as of now, cos im only 1wk into the course.
a qns for any former or current signallers who have been posted
out from SI.. is it true that u will be posted to units based on
how well u do for the tests? cos i saw one senior who finished the
IC2 course and he told me that the top few person(in terms of test
results) will go to garang unit and air force (which is stayout),
then for the rest dunno how they split. that pattern has repeated
for the past 2 batches according to him. anybody knows how its
decided? i dun think its solely random.. and neither will they just
post u to camps near ur house.
Posting is decided by CPC and not SI and for that matter any of
the training schools
