Pre-Enlist: Further Studies, NS Defer ?

itzALTA SG

Hi, i was 17 yrs old, LAST year (2009) Birthdate: 28 Aug

Was i suppose to get a deferment letter from NS at 2009?

Because all my friends said they did, and had to go online to defer.

I didnt get the letter, probably because i moved houses quite a few times and forgot to change my address on my IC.

So.. I recently just changed my address. Jan 02, 2010

Will they send another letter any time soon?

I wanna complete my poly first before going to NS!

tarutaru SG

Go poly get a letter then send to CMPB.

itzALTA SG

Oh, so i can wait until poly starts?

I heard someone said by end of 29th jan must defer, or else must go NS?

gunner77 SG

Different birthday different deadline to defer.

You better call up CMPB to clarify that you change your address several times.

tarutaru SG

Oh, so i can wait until poly starts?

I heard someone said by end of 29th jan must defer, or else must go NS?

Once poly accepted you, u can apply for deferment.

itzALTA SG

ok, thank you! =)

skythewood SG

If you wait, and hope, you will get enlisted.

If you act, and clarify, you might stand a chance.

stellazio SG

its your fault that you didnt update your change of address? this severe lack of personal responsiblity is unexcusable, maybe you should enter NS to learn it...

Poignant SG

call to check immediately, this kind of things cannot drag de.

AhJun SG

blame urself. its ur RESPONSIBILITY to update the change of address!!!!!

Poignant SG

now it's not a matter of blaming who, or who's fault is it.

now is how to solve the issue.

itzALTA SG

omg. SHIT. I better call them now.

stellazio SG

i dont believe its a case of forget to update your address but more likely a case of cant be bothered too..so if the saf calls you up, you only have yourself to blame.

AhJun SG

yes i agree

itzALTA SG

Ok, i called them up. They told me go on singpass to defer.

Thx gunner77, skythewood, Poignant for the help.

The rest, dont talk as if u noe my personal life. I got O lvls on that yr, and moving houses aint helping with the stress i've got. Not to mention family problems.

kbye

Ajen SG

All the best for you. :)

stellazio SG

i dont wana know your personal life, i dont need to know your personal life, but theres 1 thing u need to know and that is personal responsibility.. so maybe you needa go into the saf and be taught that the hard way..
