You won't regret being the member of the RSAF - This, i can assure you!

Welcome to RSAF

- Able to book out daily (No field camps, no FBO - I'm sure all of us are expecting this unless your interest is elsewhere)
- Rotating shift (morning/night)
- See where you posted to, Fixed Wings (All the fighters) Rotary Wings (All the helicopters)
- Routine work

 

[Drexxor]

they will re issue the black duffel bag with everything inside isit? lol

No, you will be fully transformed into a member of RSAF. You will no longer need your FBO equipment. To be honest, you won't use any equipment in your duffle bag at all. Probably No 4 uniform and PT shirt for the first 2 months of your orientation or less (Because you will be issued with Airforce PT Kit, etc). So have fun at Air Force School

Our current emart credits will be forfeited and turned into rsaf ones yeah? So we should spend it all before that happens?

yeah from wad i heard. each service got their own credit one. mean "air force credit" can only buy "air force stuff" and those general stuff. cannot use to buy army or navy stuff.

air force technician is repair and maintain airplanes, fight jets and helicopters.

air defense weapon operator is operate ground-based air defense systems such as i-hawk, mistral, and spyder.

1) no idea stay in or out.

2) no, operator=men.

3) all local training for air force personal are conducted by the Air Force Training Command (AFTC) so all trainees are in same camp.

after POP you will be posted to different air bases.

therefore F16 air force technician will only be posted to air bases with F16 while apache air force technician will only be posted to air bases with apache.

likewise for air defense weapon operator. for example if you are trained in spyder then you will only be posted to air bases that house squadrons that uses spyder.

They don't determine by diploma or results, its just heng suay.

As for GBAD, it is usually stay in, i don't think you will get 3sg cause its not a specialist, and only for a short while, all air force personnel will be going to AFTC.

I am a FLC and we all get to promote to 3SG (Need a pass in IPPT). You might be posted to different camps later on depending on where you live. West side go to Tengah. North side to Sembawang Air Base. East to Changi Air Base and North East like Hougang area to Paya Lebar (Beside AFTC).

You will be stay in for sometime. Life at AFTC is pretty good except for the monthly parade I guess. No need all your old army stuffs except for the first like 1-2 months (I forget) as your blue uniform is not ready yet. Once you get your blue uniform, you totally don't need all the army stuffs anymore. Keep your combat boots though... You will need it in parade in the future...

AFTC allows camera phone and chargers too.

You will be split into fixed wing and rotary wing... Those kenna rotary wing can expect yourself to be posted to Sembawang Air Base. Which meant to say you live near North side, thats why you are in the rotary wing.

You will be staying in at AFTC until almost till the end then you will stay out all the way even until you posted out from AFTC to your sqn.
