Promotion for the NSF is to recognise his performance and past
contributions during NS. Due to the onerous nature of duties for
those deployed in combat vocations, they are promoted earlier than
those in service support vocations.
The SAF regularly reviews the promotion guidelines, the last
revision to the enlistee promotion guidelines being in 2011 and
2013. Currently, NSFs may be promoted to the Corporal (CPL) rank
between the 12th and 18th month of service. The minimum service for
promotion to Corporal First Class (CFC) has also been shortened in
the 2013 revision.
We would also like to highlight that promotion in rank is not an
entitlement: servicemen would have to meet the stipulated minimum
criteria to be eligible. Unit Commanders are also given the
discretion to assess if a serviceman who qualifies for promotion is
deserving of the promotion at the given point in time, after
considering the operational requirements of the unit.
its based on personal performance too...now got corporal first class somemore....Originally posted by tfcheng:just heard from my friend that he will be promoted to CPL soon.
i do not know how outdated am i but is it true that new system/laws/regulations will promote those non-poly/JC men to CPL whom have passed SOC and attain silver for IPPT?

sorry no longer in service =P
firstly your sgt gets his CPL after 2 or 3 months in BSLC. enlistees with A levels/diploma only get their CPL after 1 year in service, or even later.Originally posted by tfcheng:i remembered one of my sgts said we got our cpl so easily due to our qualification as compared to them, having to chiong so much in sispec, but now i guess its so much easier.
if according to my friend said is true, ie, pass SOC and silver in IPPT, i think we are going to see more CPLs around man.
ya. thats wat my fren told me.Originally posted by Gordonator:firstly your sgt gets his CPL after 2 or 3 months in BSLC. enlistees with A levels/diploma only get their CPL after 1 year in service, or even later.
secondly so u mean to say now those below A levels and diploma will get promoted to CPL if they pass SOC and gets silver in IPPT in IPPT?
