any idea what is the different between a tech ?

a tech usually deals with technical stuff like maintenance and repair.

you are a weapon operator, so ur job is to operate the machine..

AFTC not stay in immediately one. Have to attend some air force induction etc, then when your trade course start, then they will tell you to stay in.

when SAF says PT kit, it means PT singlet + PT shorts + white PT socks + running shoes.

unless you want to wear army boots with singlet and shorts.

technician badge and overseas detachment depends on your flying squadron.

You will get posted to AFTC for ~2 months. 1st week orientation program, next 1 month stay in and the rest stay out, that is during my batch, dunno if there's any changes.
Trust me... even when stay-in, AFTC is the heaven, so treasure your time there . AFTC is green zone except certain offices.. so camera phone is totally okay.

As an Airforce Tech you'll get posted to either FLC (Flight Line Crew) or EME (Electro Mechanical Equipment)

FLC - Either fixed or rotary wing. More of maintenance side, required to do shift jobs.

EME - Lucky ones get posted here, less xiong as FLC. You'll learn about air-con, airfield lightings and what not. No shift jobs as far as I know, but depending on bases.

So..after ~2 months you get posted to different airbases. You will be likely to get posted to Tengah Airbase as your closest one. Just to let you know..Tengah is full red-zone.

Why want to chiong sia Getting posted to Airforce is damn lucky. You will get your 3SG (albeit without combat pay and ippt pass) in less than 1 year)

Anyway.. no need field pack, bring your own civi bag and wear green smart 4. You will be issued blue no4 when in AFTC

Not sure how they "determine" which side you get posted to, but for my batch it was like ~18 EMEs and ~40 FLCs. You will know your trade after the orientation, and about 1 week before getting posted out, your mentor will let you all know which airbase everyone will go.
They will try to assign depending on where you live, and the manpower required.
Your nearest airbase is either Paya Lebar or Sembawang. But doesn't mean you will either one of them. I got a batch mate stay in AMK and kenna posted to Tengah.

You will get a AFE badge that's all. EME VERY unlikely to go overseas.
Can't say for FLC though, but I'd say unlikely too.

The time you spend in aftc is mostly all relax one , nothing to be graded upon except for some theory test and some practical lessons.
