Need Help - Overseas
-
Thank you all for your previos help, I am currently overdseas and I jsut went back to Singapor eforr my medical check up. Its been 2 weeks and now they have sent me a letter regarding my request for early enlistment.
Basically, it said that I should pass my NAPFA test with a Gold or Silver and I might get put into the October batch. If not, I will be in sometime from Dec 07 to April 08. I also have to pass before Augest 22. (which is in about 12 days)
Now my question is, should I fly back to Singapore and complete the test next wednesday? I dont even know if Ill pass. How hard is it to earn a silver? I really need to get enlisted as quick as possible so that I can finish my service and continue my studies.
Thank you very much for all your help (from a very worried person) -
IPPT Standards
You'd be Cat X, will need a total score of at least 15 and a minimum grade of C in all stations -
Forgot the other question of yours ...
Will getting enlisted in a Jan-Mar batch screw your future plans? Myself, I opted for early enlistment so that I could proceed straight on with my Tertiary education after I ROD'ed.
What's the cost of an airfare for you and is it worth having to wait 6 months for term to start because you ORD'ed at the wrong time? -
In case you're still unfamiliar:-
-- Gold Award: At least a ‘C’ grade performance in all 6 test items and a total of 21 or more points
-- Silver Award: At least a ‘D’ grade performance in all 6 test items and a total of 15 or more points
-- Bronze Award: At least an ‘E’ grade performance in all 6 test items and a total of 6 or more points
Getting a Bronze is deemed a failing grade. With it, or without any NAPFA results, the SAF will send you for the Physical Training Phase (4 weeks, right?) to improve your fitness prior to BMT proper.
Good luck! -
Thank you all for your responses. I have deided to travel back and attempt my first and last Napfa ... I think i would rather try then not try at all to get into early enlistment. Hopefully I can pass ... when it says sit ups and chin ups, is there a time limit before I have to stop?
Thank you so much again. -
sit up is one min, see how many u can do in that min. chinup no time limit, as many as u can wo letting go of the bar.
