but i would like to go through bmt 1st to really have a preview of army life.. thats when i decide if i wanna sign on
discipline and teamwork?

A MINORITY OF TEKONG BMT are also channelled to RSAF/Navy after POP from BMT.
if u want to try your luck with the MP, then go to your neighbourhood grassroot GRC and ask them. telling the MP of your interest is of NO USE. be prepared to write essay. think of the essay part of an university application.
hey thanks i will make an appointment with the GRC ppl asap. Why isn't the mp of any use at all ? i thought he/she have a bigger voice in the government sector ?

I don't really think MP can help in this situation, either army or spf, u're still doing your part in the protection of the country unless maybe u sign on now maybe still can......btw i'm sure many people would like to switch with you.

okay well done.
see you later. -
MP wouldnt help you one.
maybe the aptitude test you did in CMPB something wrong?
what did you answer for.....
"I will fight for my country even if it means i have to shed blood & may eventually die?"
-
wtf are you out of your mind.
most people sign on because
a. saf scholar, good career opportunities in the saf
b. they don't have a choice. ie, family needs the income
c. they made a horrible horrible life decision
you are sliding towards path c.

SPF vs SAF
2 day work, 2 day off vs 5 day workweek, sometimes weekend burn
if u post to coast guard, good luck to u. ur corporal rank pay is much higher den a 3SG combat nsf.
can bring camera phone vs non camera phone
no smoking vs smoke all u wan
anyone care to compare more?
TS, if u r posted to SPF, jus stick with it. everyone has it's own good and bad..
-
I guess the only way to transfer from PNS to SAF is to sign on...
If you really want to, sign on before you get into Police NS. Once you're in it, you can't really sign on with the SAF till you're done with Police NS.

we are brothers...dude....see my avatar...may our people united one day...

Well, you can always go to army and sign on... they would most probably try to channel you into OCS if you are really capable...
-
Damn, and here I was hoping to get into SPF instead of SAF when I graduated from poly.
-
so if you go army but didnt make it to OCS..
say you become storeman at sungei gedong.
what you gonna do? come SGforums ask whether can ask MP appeal?? -
MPs wont be able to help u.
i would say make do with what you have.

Hello,
If I'm not wrong, there should have some kind of contact number on the notification that you had received, you can try to call them and seek advice and see how it goes.
If you die die want to sign on as an Officer, you can go and apply as a regular first, but if you want to use the BMT experience to try it out, you will have to use the above option first.
I think both army or police NS will be a good experience and eye opener if you maintain a positive mindset.
I enjoyed my NS days =)

Extras is very common in OCS. I was the armskote IC and was given extra 'cos some platoon mates didn't clean rifle properly.
It's like that one.
But confinement is very sad one...I had this wing mate, confined for 21 days, even have to help him buy detergent to do his laundry...very sian one...I
t's the espirit-de-corps that will pull you through no matter where you serve during your NS.
