NS Early Enlistment Scheme for GCE N/ O Level School Leavers
-
1) I just went for medical Checkup on 28th Dec last year, I want to be enlisted into the army as soon as possible so i wrote an email to them and they say they will contact mi soon.
Under this situation how fast will i be enlisted? I want asap
2) Im standing at 177cm weighting 74kg which means abit fat and i dislike it. I want to make use of this 2 years to become superman's body.
So which vocation will be the most demanding and shiong? Can i choose to go?
3) I only got N/O level cert, so it means i definitely wont be an officer le?
4) I also want to have a big pocket at the end of the 2 years. I have heard of oversea posting, does it mean if i tell my higher ups that i want to go i will 100% able to go? Is there like only a few vocation have oversea trainings?
5) Will I be able to use the gym everyday?
6) My fren got into police academy, what does they do in PA, ranking they get and allowance?
If there is something else u know that i would be interested pls post here too thanks ! -

2.) If u have a determine mind to slim down, i.e. diet cum excerise. BMT is enough to slim one down liao. BUT dun go back to old habits after BMT or else no point one I am good example. 
3.) Yep. Bo pian, u got leadership quality, got perfect soldiering skills. No paper, no rank. So u now roughly know how the higher uppers will fair.
4.) Depends on which vocation u are posted to. But u definately can ask.
5.) Depends on how the RO is for that day. If relac relac, nothing to do, ur officer gives the nod, ur camp got gym. Go ahead. Note .
6.) Police I dunno. -
1) soon la soon...
2) onlu can choose if u r white horse. else..... then infantry rifleman/recce scouts... and all those vocations only walk one... no tonner sit 1... walk until like zombies... u sleeping also walk when outfield...
3) sergeant oso cannot become... only be a man lor... maybe even when ORD is at lance corporal.
4) overseas got selection interviews 1... can tell ur superiors but no gurantee 1. my coursemate want go taiwan, end up in thailand. no choosing of countries, go mean go. it's an order.
min. combat private allowance for 2 years is $450 x 24.
5) depend on schedule. my camp gym mostly is for RT NSmen or regulars.
6) might also posted to SCDF or SPF besides ARMY.Originally posted by Justice87:1) I just went for medical Checkup on 28th Dec last year, I want to be enlisted into the army as soon as possible so i wrote an email to them and they say they will contact mi soon.

What does mess boy do? Do shit 1 ah? =x -
I dun care where im posted to for overseas, but of course if taiwan its better lah. I only concern on whether if i can have a big fat pocket at the end of 2 years.
Hmm maybe you are right, have to go in taste le then maybe i chicken out liao. Anyway im prepared to suffer Have to go thru this 2 yrs no matter what le, might as well make full use of it. -
Until u go in thn u can decide better. Anyway in army u dont decide ur advancement route one, so dun pen too much hope on overseas. Try to learn as much as possible in the 2 yrs, not on academic i believe but more on interpersonal relationship n brotherhood.Originally posted by Justice87:I dun care where im posted to for overseas, but of course if taiwan its better lah.

u want overseas posting....be a medic uh..

I think this set of answers will not be what you want to hear but it'll be the honest truth.
1) You WON'T get to choose when you enlist. It is very likely they already planned in advance a certain period for you to enlist. Calling to make it earlier is useless. If it's possible to make CMPB enlist you earlier then probably thousands would call CMPB to ask for the same thing so they can enter Uni earlier or start work earlier too.
2) If you're currently dreaming about having Superman's body and not DOING something about it NOW then the Army is not going to help. BMT does not have a miracle machine to churn out six packs.
If you're serious about losing weight start now, before you enter. When in BMT, there's also lots of free time. Approach your instructors for advice on how to train up and maybe even ask for permission to jog after training on slack days. If you can't do these, then just do basic exercises like in your bunk when free.
As for vocations,
You can't choose your vocation. In the case of Reece trooper you have toearn it by getting IPPT Silver or Gold with a 2.4 timing below 9:45 minutes. -
3) You do not meet the educational criteria to be an officer. You are also in the lower end of people eligible to be a Specialist (a.k.a Sergeant). You have to work harder than those with ITE certs just to get into SISPEC. You might even be enlisted into a mono-intake and this would mean that your chances of going SISPEC would be extremely low.
4) You won't get big pockets. NS doesn't make people rich and if you don't make it to SISPEC, your pay might not be enough for you to save money.
5) No. You use the gym when you have gym lessons in BMT. You can try asking your instructors for permission to use the gym on slack days.
6) No idea about PA so I'm not qualified to answer. -
can request meh?Originally posted by RvnRooRon84:Express your desire to go to SMM..become Medic..
