Just do your best and keep positive attitude, it applies to any unit you're in.
Your batch will be the one going Wallaby, if it motivate you


I used to believe Air force tech = good life, but i didn't see the small wording below " Apply to Encik only"
So it will be good to manage your expectation.

Hahaha, how about officer & Senior ME?

[Kyoji83]

You should aim for at least 3WO rank after you have ORD.

All the best for your wallaby next year.

pilot life definitely better than them, but they had a hard 2 years training.

While i agree with the field camp part, but there are things that is alot suckier to be NSF in air force.

- Maintenance is really dirty and mundane job, plus if you are NSF/Newbie those regular will assign the **** job to you(aircraft/non aircraft ). It isn't just maintenance the tank or some land vehicle, the equipment you deal with cant breakdown at the middle of the flight,if you are someone with any conscience you have to do your work thoroughly/carefully.

-The army guy probably had chance to stay in bunk shaking leg when there is nothing else happening. Pass the 1 year mark other than occasional training, a typical afternoon most of the NSF is waiting time to pass in the bunk, while air force guy is working in the hanger.Air force fly almost every dam day.

-There is no such things as PT session, having physical training/Running session during working hours is something to celebrate. No idea why some people will complain about it.

-More regular to deal with - self explanatory

Of course air force from the outside seen shiok la, alot cohesion,stay out,maintenance only but our average guys will be spending more time working despite been inside air bases for lesser hours.

Anyone have any idea how's the theory test like? Need to study a lot? Failure rate high?

similar to any saf test la.

I would say flc is a rewarding yet tiring job scope, but I guess most of us dun really mind cuz mostly we come from aero background one so touching the ac is like , moreover can look forward to korat

 

[Kyoji83]

Been in that position & requested to post out to army in a chiongsua unit but rejected at unit level. In airforce, the long working hours included weekend, work scope, no meal/allowance given, low moral & saddle environment (Serviceman kneel on the ground & cry to beg commanders to give better grading for their COS. Commanders threaten servicemen to the extend that clerk rather up pes & go SISPEC, CO ask regular commission officers to bear the neglection/fault when it is not even their fault to the extend one of them quit on the spot).
