Eh, just to ask u people out there, i was from PES A, then kenna some skin allergy which i declared at CMPB but they didnt write down. So now kenna sent to specialist and got a down PES to C2L2. Posted out to be a driver soon.
So, i'm supposed to expect to be sent back to Tekong after my basic driver training for reBMT as C2L2 right? (according to some friends i made at Tekong who also got down PES) Or i no longer need to Tekong? And is driver traning xiong? 8-530 training for drivers? Or stay in?
Thanks~ :)
hey you didn't tell us if you passed or failed BMT.
i going for recourse BMT not sure when yet though. just got posted as driver today. quite scary there. the place is also quite depressing. just felt depressed there. another guy who went to the camp with me today (posted as driver awaiting reBMT, same as me) also felt it depressing.
is it normal to feel depressed in army?

If you didn't clear your bmt, then u will likely be sent back sometime after your driving course when they have slots for the bmt intake. That could be few months later or a year later depending on when your driving course starts.
As for driving course, it can be fun or stressful depending on your instructor and your progress in the course. Be mentally prepared to drive large vehicles and of course drive safely. For the period of the course, you would be staying in from Sunday night till Saturday noon at Sembawang camp (5.5 days) if they didn't change it, but the training will be done elsewhere.
Have fun at the CCDC : http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/publications/cyberpioneer/news/2011/nov/28nov11_news.html
So why depressed? Because of being a driver or jurong camp?
Jurong camp? Hub west? Yeah that is a rather depressing place. You'll be put on the holding list for dvr trainees. You'll be waiting for slots in the driving course.

Yup, and i am staying in camp for now. feel seriously depressed. it's the place and people that makes me depressed. will i get transferred out soon like to sembawang camp?
are there any ways that i can get an 8-5 job? cos i'm mentally weak and cannot adapt well to new environment. seen psychologist at IMH due to adjusment issues when i was in the confinement period. now the driver's vocation also no 8-5...
so... just wondering if anyone knows if i could request for maybe a clerk job at CMPB which is 8-5?
can not happy anyhow suka suka ask for vocation transfer/change one meh...?
unless it is your grandfather's army...
if so can, then CMPB will be in a mess since many other boys will start to ask for vocation change simply since they are not happy...
just lan lan suck thumb, serve and f off...
Ancient SAF proverb: nobody's body is perfect, it's a matter of you spending money on specialists to investigate and find problems to downgrade.
I'm not asking you to fake problems, just to find problems.

Lol, I was a dvr trainee at hub east. Selarang. But I had a few problems. Went for 2 surgeries on my leg. Didn't get excuse driving but I got them fed-up enought to re-vocate me to SA(GE). Speak to your S1. Or make friends with the clerks. I know for a fact that sometimes they just randomly take t-list to become clerks.

spoke to my S1 about revocation, he gave me a straigt no. the clerks they choose are with some problems that result to them being unable to drive (e.g. back problems). so i'm like kinda stuck as driver. i heard east hub t-list can go home everyday right?
I used to be a driver in my nsf days.. ok for drivers in sembawang camp, its book in on sunday, and book out on sat.. siong wise , depends on your personal instructor.. some very guai lan, some very nice.. but one thing is for sure, u will sweat like hell in the 3 ton training..
as for whether u get 8-5pm driver job or not, depends on where u posted to.. since u are posted to army camp rite? most likely is stay in.. unless in airforce..
as for recourse, after your driving course, they might send u back to tekong.. whenever there is a slot..
Transport formation drivers and combat drivers can expect to stay in.
Unit personnel who have a licence and are ad hoc tasked as drivers have a chance.
