These are some possible Pro Term Vocations (Training Institutes) that you may be posted to after Foundation Term:
- Specialist Cadet School (Infantry)
- Island Defence Training Institute (Military Police)
- SAF Military Intelligence Institute (Infantry Recce, Armour Infantry Recce etc.)
- SAF Medical Training Institute (Combat Medics)
- Motorized Infantry Training Institute (Motorized Infantry i.e. 2SIR, 5SIR)
- Engineer Training Institute (Combat Engineer, CBRE/EOD)
- MP Command
- Artillery Institute
- Armour Training Institute
- Signals Institute
- Sniper Cadet Course
- Naval Military Expert Institute
Of course, there are other rarer, more specialized training institutions that you may be posted to. These schools/vocations are few and far between, such as the Naval Warfare Systems Specialist/Air Crew Specialist roles. Yes, there is a small chance that you may be posted to Air Force/Navy.
Expect to face more specialized vocation-specific training in your respective postings. For example, in SAF Medical Training Institute, expect many lessons on relevant medical procedures. Similarly, in Artillery Training Institute, expect to be given lots of training regarding weapons such as mortars.
Most of these training institutes have summative exercises at the end of the Professional Term course, to mark a successful 12.5 weeks. For example, the Infantry Specialist Cadet Course (SCS) has Exercise Starlight / Crescendo. One exception to note is that in Armour Training Institute, the summative exercise is after the Specialist Cadet Graduation Parade.
So what determines your posting? Your course grade plays a part, in addition to other factors such as your pre-enlistment screening test. Learn more about the SCS Assessment system, which affects your course grade, here.
