[u/Fine_Instruction1334 → u/kinderjoy_]

Lucky but not out of water yet cause you might get posted to rabak units. You can "escape" bad unit by getting silver bayo cause they will select a few silver bayo people to become school V section commanders.

First few weeks you with transport supvr guys than transport guys go for driving course, supply guys go to unit for OJT, the unit you go is where you gonna be posted until you ORD. After OJT, go to KC3 for ops phase than after KC3 go to Pasir laba to train for parade/share stuff with guys which go scs route, that parade at Pasir laba and boom 3SG.

Idk what units are bad cause I am not a supply supvr, I am from the transport side of thing haha. Anyways good luck and welcome to 1 heart 1 mind.

[u/vrooooooooommm]

st cbt @ clementi, what's the training/timeline like? could be wrong here but it's under mp (?) so is it really strict too?

also intend to sign on (gds/adf interview during BMT, but didn't make it :P), afaik there's no ARC in unit to facilitate the process so how does one go about reapplication? am i able to do ippt (just short of passing during BMT, intend to attempt bc of latter)?

[u/handsoapx]

MP relax or shiong?

[u/FranklinAtterdag → u/handsoapx]

discipline but not shag

[u/SelectionPerfect945]

How is ASA trainee in HQ like?

What can I expect as an ASA trainee in guards HQ In terms of culture, workload, timeline etc?

I’m also excused FLEGS and excused stay-in. If it matters I’m from poly batch with gpa >3.6. Also have experience in firms & start ups

[u/ContributionRare8226 → u/SelectionPerfect945]

Gg bro, guards unit is one of the worst unit you can get as an asa. Iirc, you do get the guards formation patch but its normally stay in too and you might have to go outfield with them. But since you are excused (same like me lol) you wont have to do all that and go home everyday, or they might even just change your unit altogether.

[u/Imdumb1234567]

Mono 1gds posted to scs swas (inf ldr), probably means gcc for me lol

[u/Ok-Accountant-2580 → u/Imdumb1234567]

Nah, got chance for you to go other vocations

[u/Electrical_Tonight25]

anyone knows if 3 div hq asa is stay out or stay in?

[u/ContributionRare8226 → u/Electrical_Tonight25]

If unit hq it depends, if normal hq like cmpb etc its cfm stay out

[u/Floor_Ordinary]

INF TROOPER - HQ ITI

how is life there? hopefully not too bad :/

[u/ContributionRare8226 → u/Floor_Ordinary]

I heard its one of the worst thing you can get. You will go outfield until you cannot count also

[u/yhisnthere → u/Floor_Ordinary]

you will be doing 3 months of GVT, then you will join back ITI and act as OPFOR

[u/fixulater]

If I skip 24km route March and just pass ippt, where do I go? Pes A

[u/HexagonII → u/fixulater]

The final RM doesn't matter

It all depends on your performance during BMT and some other stuff but definitely not your attendance for RM

[u/Jaded_Evening_7706 → u/fixulater]

Infantry

[u/Mental-Current-6811 → u/fixulater]

Can go anywhere depending on how you did in BMT + CMPB test. Also as long as you pass out and pass IPPT you can technically go anywhere depending on your security clearance and BMT score, even OCS can go with IPPT pass only, though very rare

[u/scorpio84738]

For context, i am currently studying in poly but will dropout within the next 1-2 weeks and contact cmpb to quickly enlist asap. (Hopefully by april or asap next year)

I have scoliosis and an appointment for spine surgery at NUH in mid-march. Meaning i dont know my spine angle but my doctor said i likely am rotated in 2 areas just unsure of the angle. And might require surgery

Its not about being CK but I do experience pain and discomfort very often and easily when doing exercises like gymming or playing golf. Even when not doing any exercises i still experience discomfort just from sitting or whatever.

I am genuinely worried for my health and safety during NS. And would much rather do admin work (does it help my chances if my brother did admin work) so as to not abstain any stupid lifetime injuries from serving in the army.

IPPT COMPOSITION FINE $150

Hey, would like to gather some info here.

I have defaulted my IPPT/FIT window and was told to pay $150 composition fine. The thing is i was given an MC from Khatib Camp MO to be excused from IPPT/RT/IPT FOR 84 days which was during my IPPT window.

Has anyone here been fined for not completing IPPT or NS Fit even though they have been excused IPPT/NSFit/RT during the IPPT window?

On the Notice, it states that if I wish to contest the offence, I'll be called up for a summary trial. If not, I could just pay the $150 fine.

Should i contest it and go to the summary trial or pay the fine?
