hello, i am 18 and i am living outside of sg for the past years.
i have to return soon to get drafted. i did medical, but because of
a complication, i will have to go again.
what is happening from now on?
how long i have to wait until a next basic training to start?
how often do these training groups start?
Well once you go for your second medical, after which you will
have to wait to get your final PES grading. Usually, the general
trend is that we receive our enlistment letters within 6 months of
the checkup though there are some cases where the people receive
their letters a few weeks before they are due to report.
From what I know there are 2 type of these "training groups":
Mono-intake and Tekong.
Mono-intake means that you will be enlisted straight to a unit
and will start your basic training with them and usually will
remain with them throughout your NS term (although some MAY be
posted out)
Tekong is basically where the Basic Military Training Centre is
located and most of the recruits undergo their basic training here
before being posted out to various units or command schools.
As rednano mentioned you can refer to the training dates at:
http://iprep.ns.sg/enlistment-schedule.html
although yours will probably not be in these as you have yet to
go for your checkup. For Tekong there are 4 'batches' per year.
These usually are in Feb/May and August/November (2 months earlier
if you fail to achieve the required physical fitness award).
