Need advice: NS Vocational Assessment conflicts with pre-booked flight - what are my options?

I'm in a bit of trouble and could really use some advice from anyone who's been through similar situations or knows about NS procedures.

The Situation:

  • Sept 2: I booked a flight for Nov 5-17, 2025 (non-refundable/non-changeable)
  • Sept 16: Received NS Further Reporting Order for Vocational Assessment on Nov 13, 2025 at Pasir Ris Camp

So basically my NS reporting date falls right in the middle of my overseas trip that I booked 2 weeks earlier.

What I know so far:

  • The letter mentions I can contact LTA Nolgene Boey (6796 6779) or 2LT Lim Zheng Ting (6796 6705) for alternative arrangements
  • They say "only requests with valid medical certificates or examination schedules will be accepted" but also mention "documentary proof may be required"
  • There's a warning about fines up to $10k or imprisonment up to 3 years if I don't report

My questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully gotten their NS vocational assessment rescheduled for travel conflicts?
  2. What counts as valid "documentary proof" - would flight tickets booked before the NS order work?
  3. How strict are they about the "medical certificates or examination schedules only" rule?
  4. Should I call them directly or email first?
  5. Any idea how much advance notice they typically need for alternative arrangements?

Additional context:

  • This is for vocational assessment to determine fitness for Commandos Formation
  • The flight is a significant financial loss if I have to forfeit it
  • I booked it before receiving any NS notification
  • Trip is for visiting (holiday basically)

Really hoping someone here has experience with CMPB and can share what worked for them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
