Getting an interview

Hey people,

I have applied for the position of cadet pilot once in July and again in Sept. Sadly, there have been no news from SIA till now. I certainly look forward to the career as a pilot! I need an interview to get started, be it successful interview or not. Sigh...

This is my status so far,

Age: Just turned 25
Qualifications: Engineering (Hons 3rd class)
Job experience: Nil (not considering part time)

Anything wrong with this status that doesn't qualify me for an interview? I plead for your opinions that can help me in anyway. Thank you.

God damn it OBS is @#$%#@$^@, But fun filled and I do really enjoyed it a lot, looking at the positive side. If you guys want to train up for obs, do a bit of running and train your detoids endurance (for kayaking). My course and I enjoyed our Outward Bound alot, and we knew each other better true all the activities. Some advice will be;

1. Bring 2 shoes (1 x wet, 1 x run)
2. Snake powder (Mandatory)
3. Try to bring a camera, our course only had a camera to capture the kodak moments.
4. Sun Block (Mandatory-Go for SPF 50)
5. An Open Mind

Its wonderful to see you guys made it through the interview. For those guys who are still waiting up, no news is very good news. For those guys who are wondering if they should give up trying applying for SQ ab-initio, do not give up till your last drop of effort, good things don't come easy.

Enjoy your holiday!

OBS shopping list

Hi WhiteOak,

Other than the stuff you mentioned above, is there anything else we need to bring there (clothes, equip, etc).. cos I'm currently compiling a shopping list for OBS and also SFC.

Btw, I'm looking for one of those kinetically charged flashlights, any idea where to get them in M'sia?

Thx,

bomoh

OBML

The activities for OBML are:

1) Kayaking
2) Sailing (Whaler)
3) Jungle Trekking
4) Rafting
5) Rappelling
6) Rock climbing
7) Running (Not a lot compared to Ubin)
8) Games etc

The activities might be similar to Ubin, but the terrain is totally different. Bring a pair of glove if you are prone to getting blisters. You'll be paddling or rowing alot if there is no wind during your whaler expedition. Also, bring vinegar, ointment or other stuff to fight leeches and mosquitoes. You'll be seeing alot of these bloodsuckers. The SAF insect repellent is very effective against leeches. Bring LOTS of re-hydration salts. Those that you can mix with water and drink. It helps alot during your final expedition. Lastly, bring a nice pair of shades to look good for the camera.

Don't overpack, as most of the equipment will be provided. All I can say is that OBML is fun, so go physically prepared with an open mind, and you'll enjoy the experience with your new buddies. Whatever it is, take care not to get injured. All the best, and have fun!

shyhhaur.. thanks for your reply..

hearing test.. bad news.. some problem with my hearing after years in the army... how does the test works...? thanks

[bomohtitan]

hearing test would be conducted with a pair of headphones in a soundproof room.

a series of beeps (3 octaves, with progressively decreasing volume) will be played to your right ear and then your left.

if you hear the sound (or if you think you hear the sound x_x) you press a button.

Hi Guys,

All the best to your OBS training, hope you guys had fun. Treasure and cherish the times you will have together and try to build up the bond between each others.

I had just got the call up from SIA to go for my first interview on the 17th of Nov, next Thurs.

Kind of nervous as this is my first time hope everything goes smoothly for me.

Any guys out there who are also going for the first interview next Thurs? Do give me a buzz so that we can discuss more.

Regards,

[LongHill]

Hi, really looking at you guys going for Lumut OBS with envy, hope I can make it through the interviews to be a cadet pilot as well.

Trance, I will be going for the first interview on 17 Nov too! Super nervous and excited! Juz wondering where to go for the eyesight and colour-blind test... will any neighbourhood medical clinic do?
