AWT stands for airworthiness test. In essence, it is just a test to see you are worthy enough to touch an aircraft. Being a airforce technician, I have to be worthy enough to touch the aircraft, in order to service it. In conclusion, I have to pass this damn test to be considered a airforce technician.
Let me first explain 2 things in the SAF. Firstly, when they say pass, they mean ACE it. Secondly, you get lots of help on a test, mostly in different forms.
However, we had to attend a NE tour before the test. In the words of my batchmates, "CLOCK NS HOURS". Hence, our batch had to attend the slightly-boring-but-not-quite course. The instructor tried really hard to get our attention and she just couldnt do it. Not really her fault, more of ours. We are guys. It's hard for us to pay attention to 'lessons'. It's just not in our DNA. (Or maybe I'm alone on this.)
We toured around Katong. And finally, we reached the highlight of the day. FOOD. We were introduced to Katong Laksa, the history of it (*YAWN*) and the history of the place itself. When she finally released us, we tried it. Me, being the suaku in any place you put me in, it was my first time trying it. And I have to say, it is nice. Slightly expensive, but nice. I think it was the curry or something, but it tasted good.
The rest of the tour was just more history of Singapore, which we already did a lot of in PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL. So, even more boring stuff for us. When all was said and done, everyone turned back to mugging for AWT.
We arrived at the old place we called home, AFTC, and barged in like we owned the place. HAHA.
The test was at the usual computer labs. When the test began, you could just hear a pin drop in the room. That serious. It wasnt VERY HARD, but difficult nonetheless. I hesitated a lot before deciding to submit my answers.
"ONN ZONG XIAN. PASS!"
The loudest sigh of relief I have ever heaved for something so unimportant.
Basically, that marked the biggest step towards qualifying as a technician. It was just one interview away before qualifying.
Life is like a cycle. Study. Tests. Study. Tests. In terms of schooling. Preparation. Challenges Preparation. Challenges. After schooling.
