Enlisting in a few days at Kranji camp, can’t get much information online so not sure about what to expect. So if anyone here have any information about it, please advise. Thank you.
1. What are the training like and how much admin time do I have?
2. How long is the confinement?
3. What kind of service will I be have higher chance to get posted to?
You should already know before enlistment day if you are stay-out (I was informed at CMPB in the final review before getting my PES). Those who find out on day one are usually after review/interview by the commanders or MO in camp.
PES C and E will typically be separated into different companies. E1 and E9 will be together though E1 can do a small few physical activities that E9 won't be doing.
Training is easygoing and admin time will be plenty for PES E BMT. You will have a ton of free time.
Movement between buildings will be super lepak. Especially if its raining. Basically marching that is not marching... The specs and officers will literally treat you like fragile breakables (which to some extent is valid).
No confinement for stay-out personnel. IIRC confinement is two weekends for the stay-in guys.
Typical vocations are Security Trooper (service), Driver, Storeman (aka Supply Asst), Clerk (aka Admin Support Asst) and their respective spec-level vocations. Not sure if the majority will end up as Security Troopers but most of the guys in my batch ended up in that vocation (I was given PES F after about one week in BMT).
Generally there's not much to worry about in PES E unless you are suay enough to get an insane unit boss after BMT or are an a**h*** yourself who goes around offending people.
