Ok i have a question. I applied for overseas leave from 09 Feb - 12 Feb and it was approved by my OC + unit clerk. My passport and stuff are all settled (e.g. passport validity date exceeds 6 months, etc). Did the necessary stuffs like informing my immediate commanders and stuff and yeap it was approved too.

1) What else do I need to do?

2) Im still going in to camp on Friday, 08 Feb but can I start my trip immediately after I bookout? Like around 6pm? ICA/SAF wont be so anal as to charge me DB for AWOL just cos my overseas leave starts at 0000HRS, right? I understand theres recalls/mobs and i would get charged if I dont respond but my current status as a trainee means that I wont be liable for mobilisation by my unit (as said before by my superiors)

Really confused. Thanks for your prompt replies.

I am assuming you are NSF. firstly you need to check if you have given your MP branch submission of your overseas returns. that will cover you in case of recall.

for question 2. you CANNOT start your trip any time before 2359H on 8 Feb. that is technically AWOL. dun risk it. if you wanna travel after you book out of camp, u need to apply another half day leave. dun risk it by doing things like tat. not worth it bro.

hope this helps

is there any rule for your reply to question 2? I tried looking online for back-up rules regarding this point but couldn't find any... or do you have any case evidence to back it up? cheers, just being concerned

[deathblade88]

Its to check for Hernia

[smallboy]

Just a kind note, bring some vitamin C pills inside to boost your immunity, would recommend Redoxen.

I learnt from my lesson cause I was sick just 1 day before my first book in Tekong. I was allowed to go to the Medical Centre on the morning of book out day. Luckily I was able to be discharged in time by the MO as I have fully recovered with the extra rest and medicine, and book out with my company.

Quite a lot of people will be coughing and catch a fever during the first 2 weeks as its the getting used to period. So protect yourself.

[Guest Guest]

Coughing in tekong bmt is normal (having fever is not) cos of the tap water u drink there. U dun have time to fill ur water bottle using water cooler and the jerry cans are all filled using tap water.

But not to worry, cos we have all survived.

Anyone knows why the tap water in tekong will cause us to cough?

[SeannyShortcake]

Water in Tekong is largely obtained within the island.

The very water you bathe and drink from comes from the reservoirs and naturally do not go through the more complicated purification processes as the water in the mainland.

Comparing Tekong water (I brought some home from camp) to tap water in Singapore,Tekong's has a thicker taste and way more particles can be observed floating about inside.

[Guest Guest]

The reason for Tekong cough is very simple - you have a large mass of people coming together, sleeping, eating and training together for months. Whatever germs that are present, and there will be a lot of variety present, will spread. Besides, it is a period of adjustment and stress when your immune system is low.

Anyone have any info on MDC? Like do they still have to do the army physical training?

[Guest -J-]

hey, im curious as to what the blood test is being used to test for.. is it used to test for HIV?

[Guest RyanGoo]

Inherited problems or hyper blood tension and so on

[Guest -J-]

oh. but is it used to test for HIV too?

[Guest RyanGoo]

What i heard is yes. If u are tested positive , u be given a Pes F and be refered to CDC for further instructions. U be asked about some questions about your sexual life and partner

[Guest -J-]

hmm ok thanks

how long do we have to wait for the results of the pre-enlistment medical checkup btw?

[Guest RyanGoo]

Normally weeks , but if they detect something , they will ask u go back and it will drag for months

[Guest Guest]

yes once u PES F, you straight away ROD (not ORD).

[Guest -J-]

oh ok thanks @b90

and what's ROD? Lol

Run Out Date. No Need serve

[Guest Masq]

Hello. I'm in C2L3, enlisting on November 8. The correspondence I have states that I'll be going through a Modified BMT (I assume it's a PES C BMT). However, the enlistment schedule here [http://iprep.ns.sg/enlistment-schedule.html] states that I'll be enlisting for BMT instead. The earliest and only PES C BMT falls on November 6 instead.

 

Is there an error with the dates or is my assumption that Modified BMT = PES C BMT is incorrect? Thanks for any clarification!

[william34yo]

_{Seriously, I had gone through} BMT and the last thing will be having an erection as you will be so tired after the training.  Even, if you want to, it will not happen.  You will be more worried about the training then have an erection.

[Guest Guest]

Run Out Date. No Need serve

 

ROD means Relieve of Duty, not run out date!

[Guest Nsf kid]

Hi,

Just to ask if it is worth it to uppes? I am currently a NSF Clerk in one of the camps. However, I will like to uppes as army can train me to be fit and instil discipline and character through hardship and at the same time Siam the jiak Lao bee regulars. However , my freedoms will definitely be taken away.

Seeking opinions here

[zwei]

My friend who was a clerk in airforce, said this " i was really damn glad i up-pes, if not i would have rot and turn fat in there"

 

He came to my unit after his SCS course as a spec, after he up pes from air-force.

[slackerj]

Lol, got to look long term as well. How much time do you still have in service? Enough time for you to join and complete leadership courses? Cause if want up- pes then aim for leadership position, that's what my younger bro did.

Fitness can always be trained in personal time, provided you have the discipline.

There's also the matter with reservist, as a clerk your chances of being recall will also be much lower.

[Guest Nsf]

Lol I don't think I have the discipline to train my fitness haha... And also even if I want to uppes I want to experience living with another guys in the same dorm ... That will be hot

Some more my job scope is quite boring and monotonous

[Guest NS Guy]

Anyone enlisting tomorrow?

[Mareshka]

Wishing you well for your enlistment

Don't worry...time will pass however slow it crawls

[Newage23]

At least u enjoyed ur loooonngggg holiday

[Newage23]

Glad u enjoyed ur loooonngggg holiday wish u all the best in ur ns life!

[whynot]

[Guest NS Guy]

Thanks guy :')

[Woodlands Fat Boy]

All the best.

[Guest all the best]

Yup no worries

My family was so worried for me during my enlistment, cos i was grossly underweight n not physically active, n also an introvert

And I was posted to one of the most siong platoon in Tekong for BMT

But I survived, n fin my reservist cycles liao

U can do it too!!!

[novacek]

good luck! it'll be fine, don't worry. you meet some great people there. hopefully no homophobic people though.

 

honestly, BMT was the most exciting time of my NS, despite it not being the best. grenades and guns and whatnot. really opens your eyes to new things

[Wilbur]

May you find long lasting bros in army I've made a lot of bros while in army and a few years down the road now, they've all accepted me for being gay openly. So touched to have formed the great bonds. Hope you'll get to meet bros like these as well Enjoy and be careful!

[alien]

Enlisted into army after the super long weekends?! Not bad lar, at least get to enjoy n rest. No need to worry so much, nowadays army afterall is better than last time, u can survive thru.

[quickflightout]

[Guest Raiden Alpha]

Pardon me how come your reservist is so short?

2006 ord, only seven cycle isn't it 10 cycle? Is it because of vocation?

[Guest Raiden Alpha]

@ quick flight out

Sorry I read wrongly and miscalculate. You are right I left out you mention you still have 3 more cycle.

My bad.

[quickflightout]

No probs! Have you completed your reservist? Can't wait for this to be over! Ugh, trench digging, outfield and sand, ugh, ugh, ugh!!!

[Casper Ong]

Hi everyone I'm about to ORD soon and i've just taken my blood test, was wondering when I will get the results back and how will the inform it to me, does anyone know?

[EasleyLim]

As with all procedural blood tests, no news is good news.

 

So no, you won't be getting your test results back if everything is ok.

Edited September 6, 2013 by EasleyLim

[Blacque]

I did my ORD FFI at Nee Soon Camp Medical Centre, and I got my blood test results on paper.
