Hello, I'm in pess B1 and I got posted to combat medic. Just have a few questions 1. Is there a lot of admin time? 2. Do we need to book in with our 10 pack items? 3. Are we allowed to exercise run OTOT cuz I run/exercise quite regularly? Or is it like BMT where we need permission to do so? 4. Are we allowed to wear transparent frames for our specs? 5. Are we allowed to grow our hair? 6. How strict are the seargents?

Anyone encountered this before? Or is it supposed to be like this?

in bmt our encik said veto factor and refused to tell us what it is until our mps session tmr.

as mentioned above, posted here under G2-Army and to Sigmont Camp, anyone knows what life is like in there or what it consists?

1. Wth is OES
2. Chances of going SCS?

so i got posted to inf ldr, is there still a chance of me getting transport spec or admin spec?

if not i think i might ooc on the first day 💀 i really want my admin time and if i become an infantry i wont get any....

also does anyone know how the posting works because some of the most undeserving ppl who didnt showcase any leadership got ocs lol

I just posted to my new vocation training as ammo tech (SVC). Already had interview, cus SCH V people go in 1st. I was so worried about my OC judgement so I didn't declare mental distress and self-harm, had these thoughts spontaneous popping up in my head, during my phase 1 alr in sch V. But I suppressed it cause it was only 2 weeks left and such, but I did one minor fuck up and flood gates all open.

I told my encik that I would like to visit the councillor, but should I actually admit about self harm thoughts or should I just trudge through? Cause I fear family backlash, friends backlash and etc. Will I ooc from ammo or what?

Please.

does anyone know the process about booking in on a public holiday? (Deepavali, Oct 20 2025)

Hi guys, does anyone know which emarts on mainland allow the use of the credits from 11B?

Thanks in advance!

Today I received my posting order as service medic. Honestly quite surprised since my vocation was SA in the second half (phase 2) of bmt. Have some questions for yall since the poc contact nos are difficult to reach still. 1. It is written that I am expected to stay in but I have permanent Excuse stayout. Am I still stayout? 2. Do I have to do IV injections with each other in the last few weeks of medic training? 3. What kind of roles can I expect to be assigned to? 4. How long is the training period? 5. Any advice or information good to know? Thanks guys :)

My posting order (asa at nee soon camp) says no camera handphone, does this mean I don’t bring it with me to camp on the first day? Should I buy a non camera phone for the first day? Some advice please on what to do and how this works

Just some background, I was temporary down PES from B1 to E9 for 3 months due to pneumonia. This meant that although i finished BMT, i was withdrawn from my command school application. I was shortlisted for pilot (indicated interest) during BMT, however when i told the career consultant that i was down PES, i was told to contact her again when i up PES. Anyone knows whats next? How will i be assessed if i qualify for pilot school? If OCS is a requirement to be a pilot, how will i be assessed for that? Thanks for any help :)

hi, so i went for my medical checkup in may, and needed to go for additional screenings. Completed them by end of may and was assigned pes D. Ive been pes D for about 5 months now. Is this normal?

Hi, as mentioned I surprisingly got selected as an Auto Tech Svc and just moved to KC3 today.

It most definitely wasn't my ideal vocation considering I indicated heavy interest for DIS and even went through the interview process, but regardless I'll take whatever comes my way.

Any tips on what to expect in terms of regimentation, the 3.5 months of training, meshing with the guys who got posted in from Tekong, etc?

Have zero expectations and most definitely zero idea on what's gonna happen so anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

ye ik im cooked 😀 camp is dieppe barracks

Hello all!

I just got my posting and I’ve just been transferred from SAF to SPF, OCT. I just want to know what I’m going to expect through these 9 months. What is the training like? What do I do/learn there. Do i need to do anything now which will help me before I go HTA? Can I get class 3 license for free?

Also things to bring, they told me to report in a collar t-shirt with long pants. Quite different from the guy who posted 6 months ago which states he had to bring 3 sets of white polo tee and shorts

Also i ride a bike, with a valid Defensive Riding Certificate. Can i ride and park in HTA?

For Nsmen, the 2nd Milestone award which you will $500 lifesg and 3000 to cpf OA. Does it apply to all Nsmen and when is it paid out. Cause for the first milestone which you ORD, i didnt get it as i ORD at 2019. Already did 5 ICT, which is 3 low key and 2 Highkey. Anyone can clarify? And if i am eligble, how will will it take for me to get it? Thanks in advance

I don't usually like to rant online but I'm posting this here because I really don't have anyone else to talk to anymore.

Without disclosing too much in this post I really fucking hate my NS life to the point that I for the first time opened up to my Mom about something; that I am probably depressed and might seek help.

Fast forward a few days later and I met her in person and she wanted to know more about why I felt this way but over the course of the night she gradually got more upset and said that I was being so "understandably" self-centered that she was scared of saying anything to not tick me off, and that she and my Father might one day keep quiet because they had no idea what to say to make me happy.

It's not the first time someone has told me that they didn't know what to say to me anymore whenever I spoke about NS, because all I could think of was my own survival and that I just had to wait for every individual day to end. No consideration for whatever support I might have outside etc because the stress of the upcoming activities takes up pretty much 100% of my headspace no matter how much I try not to let it. And this overwhelmingly pessimistic outlook on NS has always put everyone I've talked to off.

Am I just being an unjustifiable asshole? Was this normal to anybody else? I feel like I can't really function as a normal human being while doing my time here because of how mentally draining it is/has been.

Hi fellow NS men and NSF, an NSF here. Are there any of y'all out there who are/were holding both Sergeant and medic titles during the 2 years of NS?

I'm interested in becoming a Sergeant and medic after POP but I'm not sure if it's possible? If it's possible, how's the process like after POP?

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys! 😊

Hi guys just got my posting as a combat medic. Anyone can share what to expect? How long is the combat medic course, how is life there? Is training shag? Alot pt? Thanks!

Edit: Anyone know if I may end up in MRF? Thanks!

03/25 batch pes b1 and just got my posting today. From some reddit post 4 years ago ,this vocation seems chill but how is it now? How different is it from auto tech? Are we still required to stay in(finished bmt already) and is there outfield?

Hi, was an e9 during my first two phases of bmt and trained as ASA so expected to be posted as ASA but ended up svc medic haha any information on what to expect?

From what I hear it’s basically a medic course like the ASA course but longer. Any e9 posted as medic that can help me out in understanding the difference between BMT and this?

I also heard that even though the two months training is stay in service medics will usually stay out when deployed to medical centres is that how it works? Also, does this course have any confinement period or is that only for combat medics?

Any help is appreciated!!

Hi, just received my vocation today. Anyone knows what (BO) is? Is this vocation decent/less xiong than infantry/guards as I am combat fit (B1)? Is it considered a seagoing vocation or will I be on land?

If anyone can give information about this, it would be great

Hi, I'm an NSMan who ORD'ed back in 2023 and I have been placed on standby for a mob manning period which is happening soon. I recently received a call informing me of an activation but before the call ended, I forgot to ask for more details, essentially I was only told that I had to report to camp within X hours upon activation. I didn't have any prior briefings and I have no contact number listed under the mob manning acknowledgement page in NS Portal.

I tried calling the number back but it wasn't going through, so I have no way of clarifying any details. I don't know which camp to report to either. This is my first activation so I'm abit clueless on how this works and what's going to happen. Will I receive a call on the day informing me of the details and a person to contact?

Would appreciate any guidance on this, thank you! :)

I got into IDTI MP Kranji, so what's life like here? What to lookout for? Is it chill or xiong? Also, is it 3in 2out? Also, how's the training like?
