  At first i also thought that the certificate is useless. Almost want to tear it and throw it away. But in the end, i realise a lot of companies require that when going for interviews

  You have to find a willing CO to 'put in' a few good words on the certificate. ha ha.

  Shit,I lost mine also and realised I need it to transfer to another organization.

  I just applied for ns.sg and waiting for the confirmation.

   

  How long will it take to receive my new COS?

  lol, looks like another case of lost COS will be going to my unit...

  time wise it all depends, considering the number of ppl who ORD every mth...

  there will also be checks and stuff like that...
