  hi do u mind if i ask qns abt my enlistment

  i am pes E, and i am suppose to report to cmpb on 19th april.

  they wrote "you will be serving a restricted form of nation service and will not required to undergo bmt as long ad medical fitness remains, after enlistmnet procedures at cmpb, you will be posted to unit nssc"

  according to letter they say dun nid prepare bmt thingy

   

  so my qns are

  1) do i nid to stay in camp or smt, or just str8 go home after bringing me to my unit after enlistment procedure

  2)where nssc

  3)does that mean i go get to go home everyday?

  supposedly if you dont need to go bmt you're stay out.. and most likely you're a clerk in cmpb which is stay out..

  It is likely that you will probably be a stay out personnel doing a desk job.

  Though you may want to be prepared in case you are required to stay in, just bring whatever that they asked you to bring and you should be fine.

  Even if you are a clerk or such, there may be some courses that you will have to attend, depending on your PES status and the course requirements, you may have to stay in for the duration of the course. But don't worry, these things will be taken care of.

   

  I'm not sure what NSSC is but i think it may be National Servicemen Services Center. So its probably office environment, doing customer service. http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/news_and_events/nr/2005/mar/23mar05_nr.html

  Viper Company is just like any other company in BMT. Generally they are the same with some slight variations in policy (but this is due to the personalities of the commanders).

   

  And for your second question, the answer is Yes! There will be some performances by the SAF's Music and Drama Company. Mainly some songs, and dance routines and some audience participation segments. The MDC do have professional female performers (as well as their male counterparts- regulars and NSFs alike), but they performance is tasteful and not slutty and such. So you dont have to worry that your boyfriend will have "too good a time", if you get my meaning. These ladies are after all professional performers.

  This is part of the "Recruit's Evening", so that the recruits get to unwind and party with their mates in BMTC.

  The 'performances' are only for one night i.e. "Recruits' Evening", not for the whole week.

  They do passing-out-parade (POP) rehearsals for the last week or so of BMT, so yes, in a sense they do 'perform' everyday for the last week of BMT. By then there will be very little physical training, since most of their time will be spent on parade rehearsals.

  1) NSSC is a stay-out camp. just report straight to the unit.

  2) NSSC = National Servicemen Services Center.. it's just beside cmpb.

  3) you get to go home after 5.30pm (from monday to thursday) and 5pm (fridays)

  Still the same as those in enhance batch.

  What really matter is whether you holds a "A"-level cert/Diploma or not, and how well you do for your SIT test and such.

  It is not just to test if you are good enough to be an officer. It is to test if you are good enough for command school.
