Hi, i was a sec 5 student who decided to retake my 3 o level
subject (english. math and science) and unfortunely my math got E8.
This year i am 19 year old awaiting for enlistment date.
However i called up the CMPB and they still don't have a date
for me. I went for medical checkup on last year march. So now i
want to retake my 3 O level subject again since my date of
enlistment is unknown, maybe next year? i don't want to waste my
time. And here where i need advices.
Since my enlistment date can be anytime, i would prefer to just
take my O level again but if somehow the enlistment date clash with
my exams date or before i can finish my exams i have to go for
army. Will ns grant me permission to go for exams?
i asked CMPB and they said i have to ask my unit superior but
how the heck am i suppose to ask when i don't even know which is my
unit?
so please help me.
how the heck?
once you enlist inside already, post to unit liao, then
you know already lor, then you ask over there lah...
there's such thing called 'exam leave' of maybe
like some 3 to 5 days only, but on whether it's being
granted to you or not is subject to approval at its
discretion.
anyway, see this - www.sgforums.com/forums/1390/topics/421383
