Hi,
Need advice from experienced mom please.
May I know is there any difference in NS duration with regards to the vocation? Is it 22 months?
My son was enlisted in Jan 2020. If he needs to serve for 22 months, does it mean that he would be completing his full time service around Nov 2021? As such, should be looking at entering U in 2022?

Only PES A and B1 who passed IPPT before enlistment needs to serve only 22 months. The rest will have to serve 24 months.

Yes, your son will be entering U in August 2022 unless if he is taking medicine course.

Thanks for the advice and clarification!

When is the first weekend home for BMT? Is it still the third weekend of enlistment?

My son was enlisted in Jan 20. Yes, his first book out was the third weekend.

Donch be fooled! I doubt anyone even did that! It's as good as not going for a shower! :rotflmao:

Obviously only rifleman will understand.[/quote]Sound very much what my son would do.

Hi,
Not sure if this a stupid question. I noticed that one of the items listed as a need to bring is clothes washing powder/detergent on the enlistment letter. I assume the NS boys would be doing their laundry manually \"by hand\" instead of having a washer available for them to use, anyone here know what kind of washing power/detergent would be recommended for them and how much do they need to bring? Is there any convenience store in the camp where they can buy more if need be?

I am also curious where can they do their laundry and when would they have the chance to do their laundry.

Seriously donch remember my boy packing detergent when he enlisted. But, yes, doing laundry was part of BMT
Don't think they will need a lot...perhaps just look for the smallest bottle of liquid detergent available in the supermart

Thanks. Will ask him to get the smallest bottle.

[quote=ngl2010 post_id=1936887 time=1569318930 user_id=40978]Some JC boys already received letter for 2 January 2020 enlistment. So, now the standard is to give the enlistment date 3+ months in advance? That is very good!

My son's enlistment is 2 Jan 2020 too. Didn't know that there were boys enlisted in Dec in the past. He already had holiday booked in Dec before the notice came.

Does anyone know for boys enlisted for 2 Jan 2020, when would they complete their full time NS and can be discharged to move on to their next phase of life?

All depends on what he ends up doing ... you can find out more here ....https://www.cmpb.gov.sg/web/portal/cmpb/home/parents-guide/your-sons-ns-commitments

He will have a better sense after he enters ... anyway .. it is 2 years or less, lots of time to think and plan inside the camp![/quote]Thanks Hendon. That's a lot of useful information on the website!

Dear parents,

Ds is currently in year 1 JC. He had received a letter to do his NS registration online within a stipulated period and to do deferment as he is pursuing his full time studies. The first time when he logged in, he was too early, the stipulated period for him has not started yet, the next 2 times he tried to login, the server was having problem. The last time he tried to access, it was already beyond the stipulated period and he missed the online registration.

He called the contact number was advised that he would receive a further reporting order to report to CMPB to complete his NS registration, documentation and/or medical screening. And if he wish to apply for deferment. he could do so on that day.

I would like to seek advice from experienced parents whether is this the standard practice for year 1 JC students to do NS registration and anyone know what to expect when reporting at CMPB for NS registration, documentation and/or medical screening?

Any advice/comments are welcome. TIA

Hi,


I am looking for a front loading washer cum dryer (combo) instead of separate washer and dryer due to space constraints. I would like to seek review from those who has used compo washer cum dryer whether is it a wise option to pick this option.

TIA
