Hi, just like to enquire regarding my son enlistment for NS. Normally for A level students taking their exam end of this year, when will they be enlisted to do their BMT. I have called the hotline and of course they say that they do not have any update and need to wait earliest is 2 months prior to the enlistment.
But based on past cohorts anyone know usually when? I know there is one on 8th Dec. But do they normally enlist at this date as they would have just completed their A level exam.
If not on Dec when will most likely be the next enlistment? BTW his PES is B2L2
Based on his PES status - what is most likely his combat vocation - Medic? clerk? ...??
Thanks in advance

PES B2 BMT
Enlistees
who were PES C1 previously underwent a 7-week BMT programme. The new
9-week PES B2 BMT programme will be conducted for recruits who are
medically fit for deployment in selected combat and combat support
vocations, such as signal operators, combat medics and naval system
operators. These recruits will be given a new medical classification of
PES B2, in place of the existing PES C1 classification. This is to
ensure that the medical classification of our soldiers is consistent
with their deployment. The new 9-week programme will include customised
physical training, as well as basic combat training to prepare them for
their combat and combat support roles.
(Effective from June 2010 onwards)
Hi thanks for the reply. However, I am still very interested in when will he most likely be enlisted? Anyone care to "speculate" or base on previous 'A" level cohorts. ..Dec ..Jan...Feb. I do know that they will need to distribute based on the need of various dept..etc.
Once again thanks in advance
yah, anywhere whenever from Dec to March also can... to speculate is just like tikam tikam...
after the 'A', let your son choose to either take a break to relax and enjoy life like go for vacations before enlistment day or go find a part-time/ temporary work lor...
Yeah, actually my real intention of asking is because I am planning for a family trip prior to his enlistment. Dont want to book and in the end he need to go in Dec.... :(
