As a NSman, you may be called up for various NS activities, one of
which is the In-Camp Training (ICT). Every ICT aims to strengthen you in
a set of specific skill and there may be slight variations in the
conduct of the ICT in different formations.
What is the nature of ICT Notification?
During the first 6 months after you completed full-time NS, you may be called up for NS activities not more than 4 hours.
Thereafter, every NS work year, you may be called up to a maximum of 40 days of Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS).
Or in the case where you are called up for more than 40 days in one work
year, you are required to seek agreement with your employer for this
extended service. Both you and your employer will then have to sign an
undertaking to indicate acceptance of the arrangement.
The duration of your call-up may be as follows:
How will I be notified of my training?
You are required to update your personal particulars in eSelf-Update on NS Portal (www.ns.sg). MyCall-Up (MCU) will broadcast your NS call-up notifications either through SMS or email to your provided personal details.
Your NS call-up notifications will be broadcasted over 2 consecutive
days at 2115 hours. You are required to acknowledge the call-up on NS
Portal (www.ns.sg) or by
calling the 6-HINSMEN (6446 7636). Failing to do so after 10 days, a
hard copy SAF100 will be sent to your official address via registered
mail.
Upon receipt of the call-up, you have to inform your employer either via
a printed copy or forwarding the soft copy of the eSAF100 on NS Portal (www.ns.sg) as official documentation as their reference.
You will receive advance notification before every ICT so as to
minimise disruption and inconvenience to your work schedules and also
allow your employer ample time to make necessary arrangements, if
needed.
Note that if you do not attend your scheduled NS training without
official leave, you will be tagged as being “Absent Without Official
Leave” (AWOL) from your place of duty. Disciplinary action will be taken
against you.
What happens if I am unable to attend ICT?
Every NSman’s role is vital for a cohesive training with other NSmen
from your unit and it is therefore important that you refresh your
skills to ensure smooth operation as a team. As such, your absence from
ICT will affect the training and operational readiness of your unit.
While MINDEF exercises flexibility in granting deferment, every case
will be carefully assessed and weigh against the impact on operational
readiness.
Having assessed the genuineness and severity of the case submitted,
considered the training requirements, your proficiency level, attendance
records and past performances, the unit commanding officer may grant
you a deferment.
What is a deferment and how do I apply?
Deferment refers to a postponement of a specific In-Camp Training (ICT).
You can login to MyDeferment in NS Portal (www.ns.sg)
to apply online. You are responsible for your own deferment application
and all supporting documents and information by your employers or other
sources much be attached together with your application.
What are the considerations for deferment application?
To find out more about your upcoming NS training programme, you can visit MyUnit in the NS Portal (www.ns.sg).
