BMT POP Posting Orders FAQ

last SG · 2007-03-23T11:03:22+00:00

Storeman job is generally easy, more than often i see storeman slacking more than clerks. It just depends which store you get as some have more work while so...

ic... but i thought normally waiting medical review is usually pes D? my PC told me i'm still classified as pes B

PES D is only given for medical checkup i think. I don't think PES D is given after that and when you are awaiting a new PES, you remain as your old PES till its confirm. PES status doesn't affect much anyway except what sort of posting you can get which for your case will not be combat due to your OOT.

so from POP till posting orders, no one can be sure of where your next posting can be despite BMT performance ? not a single clue?

"Ha, even I have yet to know which are the men I will be in charge of for posting. A very small team is now doing running through the SIT test results and doing vocation assignments. Camp assignments should start earliest by Friday.

Enjoy waiting..."

Hi Genius1111,

It seems you are a CPC clerk who knows a lot about the insides of Post-BMT Posting Orders; that's great! BTw, you mean a small team of CPC clerks are now sorting/ranking the recent batch of SIT tests / BMT performances, to assign either courses or vocations ? What do you mean by 'camp assignments should start earliest by Friday'? Do you mean that it includes the listings of who's who to go for which courses, etc? You people must be quite fast and efficient in the processing and allocation; to do in a matter of a few days... impressive... care to elaborate further?

Hi Genius1111,

Vocation assignments are not done by NSF i believe from all the past discussions on it.

What he does is just receive a few hundred names and look at all the units under his portfolio and just assign ppl to them to fill in all the gaps. The reason why they can do it so fast is because they don't bother to check addresses etc if not it would be months before everyone get their posting if the clerk has to cross check the address of each and everyone and allocate them to their nearest unit.

This is how Jurong people can go Selarang etc and Pasir Ris ppl can go Jurong camp etc

Courses you attend is decided by the respective unit and not CPC.

I'm actually referring to post-BMT posting, not when you are already in unit. After BMT POP what are the determinants for command courses, vocational courses or just initial posting to a unit while waiting for schedules of further courses/training?

Genius1111 mentions about a small team sorting out SIT test results, etc; what are the implications of this? for ranking and selection of personnel for combat / service / technical courses ?

SIT Test, peer evaluation, commander's feedback, expressing of interest etc determines who goes to command school. The rest are assigned to different vocations base on criteria that noone knows. Only after your vocation is decided, are your names given to ppl like Genius1111 who will do the unit assignment. Eg posting to SIR there is 1SIR, 2SIR etc etc and that is determined by ppl like them.

U should know that MINDEF does not sent us in this forum the posting list nor which units are open and their intakes etc. Alot of times we are just speculating or share experiences and intakes is not something we can really tell.

I heard that some CPC guys in the past stayed till 2300h just to finish the camp/unit assignments.

I am generally a nice guy who will post people closer to their homes. The other clerks also follow this principle quite closely as well. However, it must be noted that people living in the East/Northeast/closer to CBD have limited choices for camps. Also, as I mentioned before, no point living 3 mins away from camp and be treated as dirt for the next 20 months. In addtion, units may have other plans for you as well, and some units do their own internal deployment.

So far I have never dealt with anyone coming from SCDF.

For the CSS units, the posting you all do regardless near or far also no use cos most of them have alot of external camps they attached their ppl to so you can post them near and they get internally posted somewhere far.

Being 'new' to your job, you might bother more about location etc but as time goes by, many people will tend to just get lazy and take the quick way out.

have you all started the camp/unit allocation yet? if so, that means you should have also finished the sorting out of the SIT test / BMT performance ranking results? so personnel selected for command school would have been allocated either SISPEC/OCS posting, right?
