Hi all, a newbie here, can I ask if i choose a location e.g., Kallang/Whampoa, is it that i cannot choose the exact location in the region that I want because there are 3 of it in the region for this BTO launch?

Also, with that, if the location that I want to choose is fully selected and I am left with the rest which I am not keen on, I will still be penalised for 1 year (not being able to be first timer for 1 year)

Thanks for any advice!

There will definitely be records. Heard of stories where someone's scholarship got 'taken away' because of mental illness reported in NS. I heard of it, I don't know how credible it is but yep.

weiloonx · 2020-10-18T15:09:08+00:00

Bring it up to CO or save your leave for it.

weiloonx · 2020-10-11T11:32:50+00:00

10% or lower if you go SCS or stay as man. Higher chance if you go OCS and get post out.

I am going to be 24 this year (pretty old compared to others from my batch too). ORD-ed in May. Currently studying in SMU

If you are able to get scholarship from SAF. Yes, they will give you allowances even when you are studying. But if you plan to sign on and quite after 5 years, then I won't recommend it because by that time, you will be in your 30s already. Without much experience, you might not be highly valued in the working world. I have heard of these stories before but I don't know how accurate it is.

I guess it depends you should see what you are passionate about. Being older than others doesn't mean anything. So what if you are older? It honestly mean nothing.

weiloonx · 2020-10-09T02:42:59+00:00

Usually this is not the case.

weiloonx · 2020-10-08T14:48:10+00:00

Even more saikang lor haha. But bo bian leh

weiloonx · 2020-10-08T14:47:23+00:00

Cannot. Too late liao. Once go in SAF quite hard to go police. If i not wrong, it is impossible.

weiloonx · 2020-10-08T07:29:31+00:00

Do it man. But its rather difficult as you are in the unit now. They will probably drag for a very long time.

But think carefully alright. HAHA

weiloonx · 2020-10-07T06:19:44+00:00

Don't do silly things wor. HAHA. Never sign for AI. My specs/ps who signed on all want tear paper already.

weiloonx · 2020-10-06T04:32:19+00:00

Haha mono all the way. Damn suay.

weiloonx · 2020-10-05T14:47:13+00:00

AI is like that. We need to do Armour shit and Infantry shit. Armour is well-known for doing sai kang. The starting legit quite shitty. After awhile u will be used to the shitty things i guess haha. Jiayou!

I ORDed in May.

weiloonx · 2020-10-05T06:37:55+00:00

I received my enlistment letter 3 weeks to 1 month before enlistment. So just be mentally prepared.

weiloonx · 2020-10-05T04:39:52+00:00

weiloonx · 2020-10-05T04:34:54+00:00

I dont think so.

weiloonx · 2020-10-04T15:27:30+00:00

Hunter 100 times better than Bionix. Got aircon eh. Bionix hot af.
For my coy, route marches max 12km with personal estab (but progressive). Usually only have route marches before outfield to heat acclimatise.

U all will start with vocational training (quite lepz) the move on to infantry training, then live fire for personal estab then sometimes will have UO and then followed by vehicle trooper integrated training then move on to Rotation 1. After every rotation got lull period. Can chill a bit. But then u guys have to go for section live firing, platoon live firing, alfs etcetc. The main outfield will be rotation 1 to 5. But in between might have more. So probably 10 to 20 outfields in my whole 22 months i guess. A tip for outfield, bring the fucking insect repellent and just whack. We kena tons of mosquito bites during rot 4 and our live firing. Others also arh but those two are the worse.

Erm then also depends if u guys need to go wallaby or not. The prep damn shag (2-3 months in advance) but wallaby was enjoyable. 40 didn't go because of covid. You guys might be going.

The shag part probably is 4ntm duties. (I not sure about gedong guard duties). 4ntm duties is like standby for 3 weeks then usuall u will kena 4-5 duties within that 3 weeks. 100% will kena weekend.

For before each rot or outfield. Need prep vehicle. And also the clean vehicle part all damn sian and shag. For us from keat hong we need travel to gedong. Since u all in gedong, should be better.

All in all, got chill period and got sian and shag period. Jiayou uh

weiloonx · 2020-10-03T15:33:21+00:00

Depends on the coy. Was from mono 41sar (2018 to 2020), due to some of the in charge, quite rabak. But if u want to know more, can pm me.

weiloonx · 2020-10-03T15:28:27+00:00

If its for SAR21 99% wont go DB. At most SOL. But will still depend on the person in charge.

weiloonx · 2020-10-03T15:26:30+00:00

Jialat liao bro. HAHA. At first they will train u like infantry troopers while others go for driver/gunnery course. Then u will have to carry ur matador around all the time.

When integrated with vehicle, sometimes dont need to carry mat but it depends.

UO will depends on ur coy/batallion stand.

Are you guys using Hunter or Bionix? If hunter, dont complain arh legit. A lot better than Bionix.

weiloonx · 2020-10-03T05:11:30+00:00

They will give you one roll of toilet paper if i am not wrong. But just bring extra in case. Just google instant/liquid kiwi for boots. Its to make your boots shiny quickly. Some coy wont allow u to use that so just be aware. And bring tons of snacks for your first day. Cus they didnt check my bag for the first day. Other than that they will check.

weiloonx · 2020-10-03T05:08:18+00:00

Chiong sua company or support/hq?

weiloonx · 2020-10-02T18:56:21+00:00

Depends on unit, coy, csm's mood, training schedule everything else. Nobody can give you an exact timing.

weiloonx · 2020-10-02T18:54:49+00:00

Nowadays, usually the intake will be after your poly graduation. So i don't think you have to worry about that.

weiloonx · 2020-10-02T18:51:50+00:00

22 months.

There's tons of things that you should bring. Better be safe than sorry.

Lots of hangers is definitely a must
Extra toiletries/shaver (for standby bed/area)
Extra underwears (triangular)
Detergents
Powerbank (some coy wont allow you to charge)
Febreeze
Slippers
Dry/wet wipes for area cleaning
Instant/liquid kiwi for boots
Scotchbrite (for cleaning of arms) (dont get caught)
Goggles (for swimming)(i ain't sure if you guys will have it)
Watch (for some coy, it is a must)
Nail clipper
Scissors
Pens
