Hi TS, i can only speak for the army A mech experience. I was in ayer rajah camp, duties still have to do. As sec comd trained i have to take on guard 2ic duties. Occasionally ATTS field exercises require me to take part. Went on exercise Wallaby 2005 had a good experience. Some regulares are nice, some really sux. part n parcel of any army exp. good thing abt Armour tech, 8 to 5 usually unless have things such as LRI . you are responsible for veh maintenance as mentioned by some people here, and also some repairs, usually u do most major jobs even, unless those really too hard such as changing camshaft n such in the engine which we don do anymore. good news, 70% of what you learn can put into use for your own vehicle.its not bad a life if you wanna sign on, but well its the SAF usually overstaffed in some vocations, wanna cut jobs, or cost then ask u golden handshake or early release like the seniors during my time. Most of my reg friends in service choose to early release even without the service asking them to do so. they juz cannot take it after few years. so TS think twice ya!
i see aknoo , thanks for your exp share , really appreciate it , any bros out there has any more exp to share with me ? thanks !
