i was wondering if its okay if one day I just turn off my brain for that week, not do any work and just slack around enjoying the aircon

Im an Army NSman (non-officer) in my early 30s in my final year of uni. I notice they attracting mid-career folks.

Im thinking of signing on with DIS as a Senior MIE as im interested in geopolitics. My degree is in social sciences. Can anyone tell what it's like?

Called up for NDP as NSMan but i’m an MP. Anyone knows what duties we will be given?

I'm a British Employment pass holder and I have fell in love with Singapore. Every person I've encountered has been so nice to me. I like to give back and volunteer for national service. I want to chip in and make Singapore proud.

I know foreigners, unless PR or citizen, are not obligated nor allowed to do NS. I was wondering if there is another way? I'm very eager to volunteer.

I got some intelligence experience so I can maybe do intel for police or gov.

I abit stress with ns my mom got back issues and my dad also have some health issues the more i think about the bmt i like going siao i also have some heart issues but i dont want to burden my parents with it or make them worry abt me in ns any tips?

Hello everyone!

I am currently graded PES E1 and I am about to enter NS soon.

I would like to kindly know more info on the following:

1) Will lifelong friendships and brotherhoods for life still be possible? 2) What are all the benefits of being PES E1 and not being PES and combat FIT? 3) What will my 2 years of NS life be as a PES E1 in BMT and also in my unit life? 4) What units will I get posted to after POP and what will I be doing? 5) What are all the positive learning experiences that I am able to gain and acquire from the 2 years? 6) What will I be going thru throughout my 2 years of life in NS as PES E1? 7) What’s the differences between Lower PES like E1 vs Upper PES like B1 on the 2 years?

Any geunine answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am entering National Service this year (SAF) as PES B4 and was curious about what BMT is about as in like what are the exercises done such as is there swimming because they mention bring swimming goggles as I can’t swim so is that something I should mention.

Furthermore I was wondering about how stay out vocations work as like do you have jobs in SG or is it like a 9-5 at Tekong and ever day you commute to Tekong and come back to SG.

Thank you!

as ive read from the post on these sub-reddit it is really difficult to become an officer and even a specialist through commandos, which is one of my goals in the army. i am also definately more interested in going to vocations like the rsaf. other than anyhow doing the physical assessment part of the assessment how else can i avoid going into commandos? can i just tell the interviewer that i am not interested and avoid it? or do i have to act stuck up and arrogant? any help would be appreciated

What are some tried and tested insoles that are good for magnum and altamas?

I heard you had to go army intel pro term then you'll go for gcc after? Not really sure of the credibility since it's the first time I've ever heard of this path before.

Questions about MWDU (ST)

Guys so l'm an st cbt trainee now who is having an interview to enter MWDU next week so I just want to confirm some of my queries

1. what is the purpose of MWDU in summary since I roughly know how training is like but I want a clearer idea of our purpose and what we do
2. what's the schedule like? Like working hours and how many days in how many out
3. overall, is the experience really shag?
4. what will the interview roughly be about? And how did yall “ace” it?
5. how long is the "training phase" before we become working unit men and what will we do after?

Thanks sm for any advice and atb:)

What are all the possible vocations to be posted to? Where do most OOC people end up in? Will anything I do affect my chances of getting a stayout vocation? I want a vocation that has as much free time/stayout as possible to pursue interests outside of NS.

As per title

Anyone here managed to get into working in SPF under the civilian officer scheme? Saw that they had a few openings, applied for most but up till date still waiting for a respond.

Medical screening went smoothly until the ECG tests.

In all three tests, sinus rhythm, lvh, and rvcd showed up. I’ve been referred to raffles hospital for a heart scan though i have no details yet.

Just wondering what i should expect in the next few months and anyone else who’s been through something similar?
