Will there be a change on SAF in 2010? Because I heard there will be a change in policy. So I just wanna confirm it. Thanks.
I'm enlisting on the 16 Sep Sch 2 0930. How do I find out which company I'm posted to? Thanks
You will only know the exact company on that day itself. The most that can be checked by anyone is which company having enlistment on that day from the army website.

and how long of NS do i serve? 2 yrs? 1yr 10mnths? 1 yr 9.5months?

might have equal chance of being selected for non-combatant 3SG vocationalist, but not via the sispec route... e.g. admin supervisor, logistics supply supervisor (CQMS), transport supervisor...etc.
ns is either 24 months (napfa fail / just passed) or 22 months (napfa silver / gold)... no such things as 21.5 months...

do pes C get to also have 2 months off? i only know that pes A/B will get 2 months off if they pass napfa.

no, i don't think so. since the fitness cut is only applicable to pes a/b with napfa silver / gold (and not 'just pass' napfa...)
and IIRC, by comparsion, a napfa silver is equal to an IPPT pass only.

washing powder i not sure.. but u bring one packet confirm enough and still have leftover. U won't have much time to wash also..
as for the sleeping clothes, no need to bring one. JUs sleep half naked with your PT shorts so that in the morning its easier and faster to get ready for 5bx. Thats my advice.

erm regarding parents and friends accompanying on the first day of enlistment, their dress code is formal casual? or at least no t-shirt? i know cannot wear slippers,singlet, etc etc. Is it polo tee and above...Asking on behalf of a friend...
polo t-shirt, long pants, and covered shoes is enough...
I'm in C9L3, reason being is hypertension, back and knee problem.
So i'm interested to enquire what are the trainings i will be expecting during my 7 weeks BMT? Cheers. =D
Just wanna make myself mentally prepared for my 25 of july enlistment date! =)
