Why No NS ICT Call-Up Since ORD Years Ago? Admin Lapse?
-
How many of u here have not attended a single reservist activity for many years example for about six to seven years since completing full time NS?
What are the main reason for NSAD for not calling up these reservist for many years until they reached early thirty or mid thirty? -

Primarily cuz no assigned unit, for a variety of reasons. Those who're medically unsuitable comprise another group. Mind letting us know your NSF vocation?
Every reservist BN has only a designated operational strength & -- from my observations after going through the entire cycle -- the present system prefers to to fill any empty slots with those obliged to do a make-up ICT (within the same workyear) instead. So those on the holding list are in limbo longer than before -- & the longer they're inactive, the longer they lose touch with their military expertise. -

Do you still need to do IPPT annually??Originally posted by will4:How many of u here have not attended a single reservist activity for many years example for about six to seven years since completing full time NS?

I have came across some MUT personnel that they started their first ICT in their early 30s and if they don't fulfil the minimum requirement of ICTs to be eilgible to phase into MR, they will continue to do IPPT till 40. Imagine chiong sua at the age at 38/39, it must be damm shag.
It is good to start and ends early. -

PES C grading, the severe the condition is. -

My vocation is admin support assistant with HQ 2 PDF Comd.

You mean, a clerk? No prior combat training of any sort? Most probably safe from reservist then, unless you tio TRADOC (or equivalent) as part of their paper strength. I dunno if TRADOC conducts any ICTs.

It was the NSF medics who claimed that Pes C9 kena standby 5 years. No reason to doubt this, cuz the source didn't come from only one mouth. But it looks like you'll still have to wait another 4.5 years (mathematically), since you're only recently upgraded. IMO No point calling them up either, cuz they wouldn't likely have any update on your deployment status. -

I meant prior vocational training. NSF clerk all the way, right?
Reservist units have an S1 cell as part of their composition but, as far as I know, they're only in charge of ICT in-& out-processing during peacetime. (Plus rotating shifts like duty clerks.) They tend to get called back the longest for each stint but overall it's a good life: their own reservist offices, do mainly paperwork, can sometimes wear vest & slacks or even PT kit.
I don't think, say, a 35-year-old will feel out of place, so to speak -- assuming in the first place that the SAF is willing to pay out his $3k-$4k civilian wages just to have him back to do clerical work! ~lol~
In wartime, the S1 cell is supposed to help out in POW management, among other things. But I don't think reservist clerks practice for this much during ICTs.
My old outfit churned a lot of clerks over the years too, as I recall, but not sure whether it's because they do a shorter cycle. -

Some more you said you served at 2 PDF, so shouldn't you have already gained some insight on how they utilize reservists there? Do they convert clerks to rifemen, along with other "disused" vocations like PTIs & ammo technicians, etc? From what I know, it's supposed to be a pao-ka-liao unit & thus a wild card. They may "claim" you back, with your new NSman liability.
If you were combat, I'll be quite sure you won't be reposted on to another formation. By contrast, clerks belong to a more utilitarian vocation, so who knows.
But I also note you had served at Div HQ level (correct?) & as such, according to one interpretation, shall join the more-general NSPC holding list. Combat-side has their own holding lists, supposedly organized at the DIV level (3rd, 6th, 9th, 21st, 25th) with their reservist units replenishing from this pool (ex-deferments, ex-disruptions, make-up ICTs) first before looking elsewhere.
Here's an illustration someone posted here a while back which I've saved:

PES A, abt 10yrs since ORD, still havent gone for a single reservist yet. Not even IPPT too... but might go for it this year.... see how lah...
