I haven't received gone through conscription yet and I would
probably only be drafted in a couple of years. But before that
happens I just want to be sure of these codes that I see often on
this forum. Could anyone here give a brief description on how
system works and how they allocate a person to the various
divisions. Thanks in advance :)
Hi Anthiadon,
ORD refers to the Operational Ready Date. It is the last day of
duty for a national serviceman performing full-time national
service.
PES is a medical grading. It ranges from A to F, with those who
are of PES A being most physically fit, and PES F being unable to
perform national service.
Everybody will have to go through Basic Military Training (BMT),
or its equivalent for those posted to SCDF, SPF...etc. instead of
the army. Only once they have completed this training phrase, then
will they know which unit they will be posted to.
Cheers.
