Hello!
I am a Singaporean but have been living overseas for many years.
I came back about 4 months ago and recently got my SPF enlistment letter (June 11).
I'll be going into enlistment day alone and I'm a little confused of how things work.
I didn't do my NAPFA test so I have to do an 8-week physical training phase programme followed by a 14-week basic police training.
I have a few questions..
1. 'You are not allowed to leave the Home Team Academy during the first 10 days of training.' Does this mean the first 10 days after my enlistment on June 11th? or the BPT (8 weeks after)?
2. I understand you're not allowed to wear contact lenses in the army, due to jungle and no clean water or something.. How bout police?
3. Anything else to bring to enlistment other than soap, toothstuff, shaving stuff, slippers, pyjamas, padlock? Do I really need an alarm clock and clothes washing powder and detergent?
Thanks!
Anyone else like me enlisting with questions or comments please comment :)
I don't know many people here so I'm looking forward to enlisting and making new friends!
The 10days is starting from June 11. Not after the 8weeks.
Geez,emilangry,maybe I enter on that day too.The Recruitment Officer told me that my application is in its final processing.Hope to see you in HTA. :D
Thanks chao!

Hi there emilangry,
Congratulations, you are becoming as PNSF officer.
Here are some tips for enlisting,
On Enlistment Day, you will be taking oath of allegiance to become as a Full time NS men in 152 intake as the 150 intake will passing out on 21 May 2013. Other than that, there will be Field Instructor to train you on drills and PT to prepare you 3 IPPTs aft 8 wk of physical training.
14 Weeks Police Officer Basic Course
Within 14 wks of POBC, you will learn new things such as
1) Shooting - Using of Revolver
2) PDT (Police Defensive Tactics) - Using of T-Baton, Handcuff, Verbal Commands & Unarmed Tactics.
3) Life Saving
4) Criminal Laws
5) Drills - Turnout & Bearing
6) Scenario Based Training - Role Play
7) First Aid Course
8) PSOC - Police Standard Obstacle Course.
All these will cover you in 14 weeks time. Life as a trainee is very fast in there. Once you are trainee, don't forget your 3 important items must be with you all the way. You will know it later.
Every 2 weeks, you have to shave your heads and exchange linens.
Cheers....

Hello emilangry and SGT Tan, I'll be enlisting on the same date too! Hope to see you guys soon. It's getting closer everyday..
BTW, anyone can clarify with us about a few things regarding being a trainee in SPF?
How far can NSF go in SPF in terms of Rank and what unit are we eligible for? (I know only regulars are eligible for STAR and the SOC will only take in odd intakes, heard that from my friend)
Hey guys.
I'll be enlisting on the same day..
Are u guys going to cut your hair before going in? or just going to let them cut your hair on the enlistment day?
hope to see u guys soon!

I was planning to get them to cut it!
Do you know anything about it? Do they just cut it real bad and like a ball?
If we get a good looking shave before we enter, will they reball it? xD
Nah fuck that. I don't got monies for haircut haha I wanna get it cut with everyone else!
