Poly-Halfway Dropout: Direct Unit Mono-Intake OR Tekong BMT?

shadez SG

I have more questions I need to clarify, please.

If I have/had been in a Polytechnic/Diploma course but I dropped out before finishing it, what are the chances of me going for Tekong batch compared to Mono-intake?

Is it possible to send in an appeal requesting that I join the Tekong batch?

Are both paths the same period of serving time?

Importantly, would the monthly allowance be equal?

Thanks guys!

allowance depends on rank and vocation.. as for chances im not sure..but maybe more chance to go mono intake..

Seriously , u cant change the Computer posting at Control of Personnel Centre at G1 ,Army Personnel Department

It a no-say thingy ..

both path is the same number of years

and monthly allowance is equal ..based on your combat vocation .The SAF is never meant to pay an conscript a comfortable form of salary

else there will be public wrath on it ...

serve your 2 years and fall out happily bah ,why worry too much ?

Mono is quite high.

Apppeals will never be accepted since there are few who would be willing to enter mono and if appeals were allowed, CMPB would be too busy reading appeal letters.

Both paths will serve 2 years but if you pass NAPFA, you will get a 2 month reduction for PES A/B only.

Allowance depends on vocation and rank since combat vocations have combat allowance and certain combat vocations like guards etc have additional allowance.

why u fail yer poly exams?the platoon commander will ask all recruits on why results poor to why they fail poly or collegue.and most peoplewho enter pulau tekong all passed poly.

in past intakes they had degree holders who came back from canada to rthe best of the best going to tekong.

WHAT MAKES U THINK U ARE THE BEST?

CUZ U FAILED POLY???GO RETAKE EXAMS…..THEN GO TEKONG.

BUT IF U GOTO TEKONG…...THEY FAIL IN POLY BUT ARE HUGE GORILLA SIZED WHO STUDIED MARINE ENGINEERING OVERSEAS…..IF THERE IS A VALID POINT OF U FAILING POLY…THEY WILL ADMIT U IN. IF NOT U WILL NEVER STEP INTO YER ILLUSTRIOUS TEKONG DATS GLOWS IN THE DARK BY ITSELF.

Hi shadez,

If you drop out before you complete your Diploma course, you will be considered a "O"-level certificate holder, and thus will likely join the Mono-intake batches.

You are not allowed to appeal to join those who are doing their BMT at Pulau Tekong, your period of serving depends on your NAPFA test results, and your allowance as a recruit depends on which Mono-intake BMT you entered.

Cheers.

PHDs has a chance of going to leadership BMT courses at P. Tekong. maximum is go sispec, no OCS.

of course, allowance wise, its go by rank, not by education level.

PSLE or degree holder, but same rank, also same rank pay

So if i am a NITEC holder, do i still go tekong (army) or elsewhere?

105090 SG

NITEC very high chance go mono intake, but will have a chance of going Tekong. if go tekong also wont go sispec or ocs, but may means better vocations eg. driver

aiya in SAF, everything also got chance everything also not confirmed everything aso grey one la

One Harmonius Blend SG

but got chance to go SPF,SCDF etc?

TrueHeart SG

but got chance to go SPF,SCDF etc?

Hi One Harmonius Blend,

The answer will be yes.

Cheers.

How about those with private diploma or certificates or whatever "paper" that they took after their N or O levels? Also mono intake?

Blahhh SG

You want to go tekong despite not having cert? Just gain some weight and join the PES BP batch. When you pop'd, you would still likely to be a man, just in service support instead of combat.

icyboiz SG

i'm a phd, got into tekong leadership batch also.

most probably due to my gd napfa result. i asked my curren csm , it is taken into consideration although their other factors.

go ocs got chance, be the top 4 recuit. but slim chance even if u're the top 4 recuit.

Higher chance of tekong as compared to just N and O, but no guarantee for them as well.

caleb_chiang SG

Well, I went tekong even though I PHD the first time round.

noobpro SG
