Yes. But we were told that its compulsory for all males to go
for napfa conducted in school. Though i am sure some will not
attend.
Like dkcx said, there will be a change in enlistment date? Why
is that so? Seems to me that MOST people who were born in 1990
always face this kinda 'major change problem'.
First it was the o'lvl chinese test paper structure.
Then change of CCA pts system after we are in 3rd yr.
And now this enlistment date.
SP now say complusory liao ah. My time i also don't remember
they got say anot but i never go anyway :p If you failed the school
1, u can still take NAPFA at Toa Payyoh stadium if they are still
conducting it there and just sent in ur results to CMPB so that you
will not need to attend PTP.
However personally i prefer PTP to direct BMT cos its less
rushed and pack compared to the direct BMT intake. Of cos some
people prefer that 2 extra months of freedom.
There is a revamp of the PTP programme to be increased from 1
month to 2 months which is why enlistment dates were affected since
its no longer 2/3 months but 2/4 months now.
I've also heard that the PES E BMT might be increased from 1wk
to 1 month from a recent PES E enlistee but that is yet to be
confirmed.
PES C is the only 1 i currently have no news of.
