well .... I was told I won't be called up for the same reasons too .....
so they reassigned me to PDF and revocated me ....
not that I mind of course .... the new gear's exciting ..... armour vests for every single soldier, who'd have thought the SAF is so rich now ...
well im in the airforce so i dont think ill be revocated to combat or army vocations..
the worst thing they can do to me is to transfer me to the new F15 squadron and send me for training again which will suck ass..
damnit..even my no.4 is also the old one..but i doubt they'll give me the new pixelated ones..

arent you a clerk? shouldnt you be wearing the no.3?

they were PES C1 or C2, even PES Es ........
my new NS unit were made up of mostly old timers like us, some of whom ORD'ed 6, 8, 10 years ago and have kept deferring and deferring or never been called up since. Most showed up wearing old style no. 4s
there were cook, clerk, divers, as well as former infantrymen, guardsmen, tankees, storemen, signals and admin specs, technicians etc. There were navy techs, airforce techs too, etc. There were even commandos who deferred till their unit completed their cycles and they are now revocated to infantrymen.
They cobble us together and call us a POI battalion and we'd be in charge of guarding jurong island, changi airport etc etc .... I hear they are forming up at least 3 such battalions to free up other soldiers to populate the two new army divs, as well as to keep up with the demands of post MSK security.

dude .... why don't you call up ns.sg and request for it ? ....
treat it like a two weeks holiday .... and you're PES E, you won't have to worry about annual IPPT anyways.

I wore both number 3 and number 4.
I will insist on drawing the number 4 if I am called up. Our number 3 looks like school uniform sia .
I know one airforce clerk who was called up at 35, he was very unhappy.

from what I hear, this would be one of the new types of battalions at the PDF brigades, along with coastal defense battalions, attack battalions etc.
and yeah, guarding those facilities during peace and war time. the difference is that there'll be support weapons attached too. SAWs, 203s, GPMGs, LAWs etc.
I think most people were pretty happy at the briefing ... you do your part without having to chiong too much sua .... best of both worlds ...

dunno...i don't go squat in the unit either...
each time i appear for my reservist, i get asked wtf i'm doing there... a combat medic who is not medically fit to be in a combat vocation... so i get thrown into the med centre to lobo there for 2 weeks... which i appear at 9 and get dismissed at 3:30 everyday...
or told to go to the bunk and sleep...
the S1 is an idiot because he's the one who asks me wtf i'm doing there

but next year would be actual deployment for sure ... if it's jurong island I plan to bring my fishing rods and crab traps along ...

yeps ... just tell them that you've not been called up for a long long time and you want to start your cycle asap and not when you're nearly 40, they'll quickly find a place for you. And it probably won't be a too chiong sua unit either.
but you may end up in one of the attack battalions and you'll run around with a rifle all day at the BCTC ....

time to go home
