  Alpha is the strictest company, but it's not that bad. If you don't do anything stupid then the 2 weeks won't be a problem. Charlie coy is quite fun, Delta is for obese. If I'm not wrong Bravo is PES C. 

   

  If you have A lvs or Poly Diploma, there's a damn high chance they'll send you for Section Commander Course or Fire Fighter Course, both are tough. The other vocations are instructor, driver, medic, provost, dog handler, storeman and a few others I can't remember. I'm in SCC now.

   

  For the driving thing, your parents can drive in on the first day, don't have to park outside. 

   

  Ragging only got one recent case, they will tell you about it when you go in like 50000 times. 

  totally agreed that charlie coy is quite fun as I was previously from charlie too..

  so what's the current intake now..

  Thanks!

   

  Can I ask one more qn? What's the racial balance there? I heard its quite impropotionate...  Im not a racist, just out hearing is it true? 

• QX179R

  27 Feb 12, 22:53

  during my intake, the racial ratio is not balanced..

  there were more malays as compared to chinese & indians but I suppose it's not going to be a prob for you right..

• John_H

  27 Feb 12, 23:15

  haha nope... Just curious...

   

  Just hope I can fit in:D

• QX179R

  28 Feb 12, 18:38

  I'm sure you'll fit in well..

  all you need is time, some pple can adjust to a new environment very fast whereas some can't..

  you'll be given a form to list down the vocations that you want (from highest to lowest priority) and you'll be required to attend an interview if you're shortlisted to see if you're eligible for the vocation that you've chosen..not sure if there's changes for now with regards to this..

  the company that you'll be in will be randomly chosen..

  don't worry about being nervous as I myself also experienced the same thing..

  new environment, unfamiliar faces, etc so all you need is time to get yourself used to it..
