Example 1: 1st Milestone - Early Completion of Full-Time
National Service due to Fitness Incentive
Third Sergeant (3SG) Tan was a Section Leader in an Infantry
unit during his full-time National Service. He was enlisted on 9
Oct 2008 and completed his full-time National Service on 8 Aug
2010. His duration of full-time National Service (NS) was reduced
by two months, from 24 months to 22 months, due to a fitness
incentive.
As his original ORD, based on a 24-month full-time NS duration,
should have been after the implementation date on 29 Aug 2010 if
not for the fitness incentive, he is therefore eligible to receive
the first milestone award. As an NSF commander, he will be given
$3,500 in his PSEA. He can use the award to pay for his education,
in accordance with the PSEA usage guidelines. 3SG Tan will receive
a notification from MINDEF informing him of his eligibility. The
payment of the first milestone award will be made by February
2011.
Besides the NSRA, 3SG Tan is also eligible to receive his
Certificate of Service (COS) and a memento upon his ORD.
Example 2: 1st Milestone - Completion of Full-Time
National Service
Special Constable Corporal (SC/CPL) Tan is a Neighbourhood
Police Centre Officer (NPCO) in the Singapore Police Force.
Sergeant Yong (SGT) is a Section Commander in a Fire Station in the
Singapore Civil Defence Force. Both of them were enlisted in
September 2008 and are due to complete their full-time NS in
September 2010.
As their ORD is after the implementation date on 29 Aug 2010,
they are both eligible to receive the first milestone of the award.
As a non-NSF commander, SC/CPL Tan will be given $3,000 in his PSEA
whereas SGT Yong will be given $3,500 in his PSEA as a NSF
commander. They can use the award to pay for their further
education, in accordance with the PSEA usage guidelines. They will
receive a notification from the Ministry of Home Affairs informing
them of their eligibility. The payment of the first milestone award
will be made by February 2011.
Besides the NSRA, they will also be eligible to receive their
COS and a memento upon their ORD.
