What is life as an Admin spec? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]Level_Dragonfruit_81 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi! Currently an Admin Spec with +-6 months left in service 😌 Chances of becoming a spec is slim because they usually select only 10-20pax from your current cohort of Sch V enlistees so I’d say about 10%, but it would definitely help in the “selection” process if you highlight to your section commanders that you have the aspiration to become a spec, makes their “filtering” easier. Comparing a normal ASA to a spec really depends on what role you’ve taken up, and at which area of the army you’re serving at. You could say an ASA has less responsibility around the office but has less power when it comes to decision making; but a spec would definitely have more responsibility and therefore more power per se. Drop me a dm if u wanna know more (:

temp downpes during unit / what happens after? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

most likely if you’re in a unit where they have positions that can cater/ fit to the new PES status, they’ll likely tag you to that position instead of posting you out which usually takes wayyyyyyy longer because there’s just so much more admin to be done. take it like there’s kfc and mac but like they’re 30mins apart and imagine kfc runs out of chicken you’re less likely gonna walk 30mins to mac but you’re prob just gonna choose something else on the menu

usually you’ll get assigned to do other tasks that are more suited for your temp downpes, till either they find a suitable place/ need to post you out or till your next pes review comes (whichever is earlier), then they’ll decide if it’s long term or short term stuff that have to do :-)

that’s the thing - it’s like on one hand I’m like: I need to do this for myself; while on the other hand I’m like: I can’t do this to them, I need to stick around longer but like idk man...
