my camp still no word leh. i think it depends on your unit. PM Lee only say 5 days week is acceptable now, but he did not say all companys in singapore must follow...
for example, most combat units and operational units very hard to change to 5 days week cos they must stay operational at all time... -

staying operational does not mean not able to have the 5 day work week. duty personnel would not be affected (other than compensation for duties), and of course, training must not be affected. but training programmes may have to be adjusted. -

the 5 day week thing is actually up to CO/Comd discretion for his unit. if he feels like switching to 5 day but does not compromise his unit's operational status... he would just go ahead.
For schools, they most probably stick to 5.5 day because after the 2 year cut, they actually have to revamp the syllabus to shorten the courses... now with 5 day week... its hard to make adjustments again. unless the trainee dun mind night training everyday. -
does it mean NSmen have to take leave on weekdays jus to go back camp to settle some stuff if needed instead of on their off days on the weekend

no its not entirely up to the commander's discretion. this is a service wide directive. the discretion only lies in deviations from the norm for good reasons.Originally posted by Ponders:the 5 day week thing is actually up to CO/Comd discretion for his unit. if he feels like switching to 5 day but does not compromise his unit's operational status... he would just go ahead.

for schools, it makes sense for them to retain the original 5.5 days, esp. with the reduction in ns duration. -
correct. now that NS have been reduced to 2 years, schools need to train trainees faster as to push them into command schools like SISPEC or OCS in order to maintain the manpower needed.Originally posted by wuming78:no its not entirely up to the commander's discretion. this is a service wide directive. the discretion only lies in deviations from the norm for good reasons.

i heard that SISPEC is still working on 5.5 days. not sure about BMTC. but SMM and SOCE are 5 days liao...
