5day workweek, stay in. at times maybe some night outs. should no more confinement liao.
book in/out now can wear civilian, but usually at least got collar t-shirt, long pants and covered shoes.
usually, tekong privates post to guards units are going to support company. will be further send for courses if needed/assigned, e.g. mortar platoon, ATGM platoon, pioneer platoon. u maybe going for GCC* with the mono-intake privates 1st, after that then going for the respective vocational course of a support coy's platoon assigned. moreover, u will be trained to use SAR21 rifle, hence got 300m rundown day shoot and 100m nightshoot range. so... u r both sar21 and m16 rifle trained.
in bedok camp, u will be issued and wear green beret 1st, but since u r in guards camp and a combatant vocationalist, u will get additional $50 on top of the typical $100 combat allowance. (the extra $50 is even without going for GCC 1st...)
*: after going though guards conversion course (GCC), u will then wear the khaki beret and the shoulder guards tab.
in GCC, u will have heli-rappelling, 2km coastal swim with life jackets...etc.
in addition, u may have to go for exercise requirements under the combat skills badge (CSB).
then like a typical infantry battalion, got ATEC stage 1 and 2...etc. officially by mindef, a guards unit is an elite infantry battalion ("with wings and grills"). true to its motto, 'ready to strike'. Guards are under HQ 21 Division, for it is a rapid deployment force (RDF) division that go behind the enemy lines

thank you x99999999999 for replying me..
but i dont understand a few parts. what do you mean that tekong privates posted to guards are going to "support company"? what do u mean by support company? how is 1 guards divided into? u mean the guardsmen are all 3sg rank and above, the corporals and below are doing other stuff but remain in 1 guards? do what? what do u mean by "mortar platoon, pioneer platoon etc."?
and what is ATEC?
and, according to the wikipedia link u gave me, 1 guards is amphibious ops, 3 guards is heli ops? so i wont do heli ops, mostly is water ops?
and if i'm going to a "support coy", why must go for GCC? sorry for my stupid questions =\

a typical infantry battalion consist of a battalion hq, 3 rifle coys (alpha, bravo, charlie) and a support coy. support coy is of 4 platoons to support the rifle coys. like indirect fire...etc, which is mortar, pioneer, signal and anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) platoons.
no, not all 3sg lah... a company made up is like the same that of BMT platoon and company, except platoon size is smaller a bit... a section is now enlistee rank: private, lcp and cpl instead of all recruits...
ATEC is done during 2nd year of nsf mono-intake b4 they ORD. army training evaluation centre is an saf evaluation of the battalion in a simulated "laser pointer" device attached to the rifle in a 4 or 5 days war outfield exercise in safti lim chu kang area, whereby the entire unit will be evaluated on its war fighting capabilities.
during GCC, is doing both heli and water.
why must GCC? then post u go to a guards unit for what... might as well post u to a typical SIR infantry battalion...
