So are there any service or technical vocations that have this kind of working schedule?
To be frank I am interested in this kind of working hours even though it means working in the weekend. -
BTW can OOC or PES C perrsonalls become a RP? Thanks for answering my questions.

I will be enlisting tomorrow and currently I am in PES B, however there are deformities in my spine and my shoulders will be painful if I carry heavy things and there is X-Rays and specialist letters to prove it so there are no chao kenging element inside.
I expect myself to be OOC during PTP and I am interested in those vocations that are 'do one day off one day' as I like this kind of working schedule.
There are currently 4 things that I want to achieve -- 1) To downgrade my PES status (I am not chao kenging as I have specialist's proofs), 2)If I got to get downgraded I can go straight to PES C BMT without any recourse, 3)Can stay in the same unit in the whole NS period. and 4) Going to a vocation that are 'work one day off one day'. However my priorites will be number 1 as my health is more important. But to achieve aim number 2 I have to achieve aim number 1 first. -
1) To downgrade my PES status
i have been thinking of this from the day i start my cec cos till i ord ...n begin my reservist .... -

anyway also to sum up, since u will be enlisting tomorrow, the only thing u can do is to report sick immediately and hope to get ooc immediately. pending med board and all, u will prob stay around tekong. den depending on the final status, u may go for the pes c bmt. if the process is slow u may end up being posted out to a unit to do sai gang before going back for bmt. den whether or not u get posted back to the same unit will depend on wat kind of job u were doing there b4 going to the bmt.
as for work schedule, trust me, everyone likes and hopes for a 8-5 schedule. but since ns is not about shopping and satisfying our creature comforts, this is not up to us to decide and certainly is not part of the consideration when one decides on where one gets posted. if u get it, well and good. if not, dun fret too much. in fact i would urge u not to pin too much hopes about choosing wich vocation u wan to go and wat type of work schedule u like to work. raising expectations also raise the levels of disappointment. -
the most impt thing is u r posted to a vocation that r within your limit.
for instance, if u had back problems n hv difficuities carry heavy loads then u r pushing urself over the limit if u r posted 2 a combat vocation that needs 2 carry heavy loads very often -

Personally I think it will be better if we can know more about NS before enlisting so that we'll know what to do and not panic when we are in NS. -
hm.. i did not have the privilege of this forum when i was first enlisted. all i had was the same things - the recruit handbook, hearsay and all. well i guess i am the more adaptable type. yes uncertainty can be onerous. but these are tests of one's character and strength too. i guess ur situation is more extreme due to the injury and all. nevertheless, always look on the bright side of things and trust the system, make friends, and take care of urself. and always use simple common sense. tt usually helps alot.Originally posted by ah-soh:Thanks for your valuable info and suggestions.
