Transport vocation

Licence

The best thing about being a driver is that you get a driving licence at the end of the 2 years, that is, if you clock 4000 km.

Transport OOCs

There is a chance of being posted as a supply assistant (storeman) or ASA if you OOC from the driving course due to medical reasons. You will become a Saikang warrior, literally. If you do OOC and get posted to an admin vocation (storeman or ASA), your NS life will be chill, but tons of Saikang. Basically doing stuff that no one else wants to, like throwing away trash, and putting soap in bottles.

Transport Operator

All NSFs who get posted to transport will first attend the 3-week UIP, after which they will get posted to a transport node, where they will spend the rest of their NS life.

UIP

Marching required, stay-in, and PT around twice a week. It ends with an IPPT.

Bring an extra battery pack as you will get much more admin time than you did in BMT.

Unit

NSFs get posted to a unit (transport node) after the UIP. Transport units give nights out every Tuesday and Thursday. Once in unit, they will be put on the waitlist for the driving course.

Note that it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 to enter the driving course. Try not to waste this free time.

Driving course

The driving course is now stay-in, with nights out on Wednesdays (needs confirmation).

Admin time

Transport operators get a good amount of admin time. On Mondays and Wednesdays, the last parade is usually from 5 to 5:30 PM.

Transport apprentices (those who haven't gone for the dirivng course) pretty much have nothing to do, so they will be free the entire time.
