NS: Posted to SAF, I Don't Like/ Not Happy. Can Ask for SPF?
-
Recently I recieved my enlistment letter asking me to be a BMTC HQ sometime next year for BMT training. I'm in the middle of JC2 now.
The fact that the venue is BMTC already rules out some possible vocations right? What are ruled out?
At this point in time is there anyway to apply to be in the Police for NS? I'm PES A.
If in this post I had any misconceptions please tell me. If need any more information also can ask.
Thanks

Types of Basic Military Training
PES A/B1 BMT
This 9-week programme trains combat-fit recruits in the basic military skills to prepare them for advanced vocational training. The programme includes weapon training with the SAR 21 rifle which will teach recruits technical handling and marksmanship skills; a Battle Inoculation Course that simulates a real battlefield; a Field Camp which develops basic survival skills; progressive training to complete a 24-km route march which builds combat fitness and endurance; and hand grenade training.
For those who fail to achieve the NAPFA test silver award, they are required to undergo an 8-week Physical Training Phase prior to the Pes A/B1 BMT.
PES BP BMT
As evidence has shown that obese recruits are able to achieve optimum fitness levels and weight loss in about 19 weeks, the new BMT programme for recruits with Body Mass Index (BMI) scores exceeding 27.0 will be 19 weeks. This BMT programme is designed to help obese recruits improve their physical fitness progressively while equipping them with basic soldiering skills and knowledge.
PES B2 BMT
Enlistees who were PES C1 previously underwent a 7-week BMT programme. The new 9-week PES B2 BMT programme will be conducted for recruits who are medically fit for deployment in selected combat and combat support vocations, such as signal operators, combat medics and naval system operators. These recruits will be given a new medical classification of PES B2, in place of the existing PES C1 classification. This is to ensure that the medical classification of our soldiers is consistent with their deployment. The new 9-week programme will include customised physical training, as well as basic combat training to prepare them for their combat and combat support roles.
PES C BMT
The 9-week BMT programme will be conducted for PES C recruits. This programme will include light physical training and vocational training to prepare them for combat service support vocations, such as service medic, and those related to logistics and administration.
PES E BMT
The 4-week BMT programme will be conducted for PES E recruits. This programme will focus on, vocational training as well as National Education, SAF core values, regimentation and discipline to prepare recruits for combat service support vocations.Prepare for PTP/BMT: http://iprep.ns.sg/

After completing their BMT, a selected few servicemen who have performed well and are assessed to possess leadership qualitites will be sent to either Officer Cadet School (OCS) or Specialist Cadet School (SCS) to be trained as commanders, while the majority will proceed on with their vocational training courses to specialise in their respective vocations.

So what this means is that I could possibly go into SPF after BMT? Or does SPF have their own BMT?

Only a handful of selected OCS calibre are handpicked to be NS Police Inspector (NSPI).
My friend completed BMT was lucky enough to be a chosen handful to crossover to SPF.
If you are talking about from SAF to SPF as be a constable/ corporal/ sergeant, then confirm cannot because those are directly enlisted to Police Academy.
Likewise for SCDF, they are directly enlisted to SCDF.
