Min age is 16.5. There are people who request for early enlistment after their O's to go straight to NS before JC/poly/ITE

s0nic SG

16 is the minimum. My cousin went to NS when he was 16.

I still dunno y ppl will wan early enlist cos u are confirm stuck as a man with 0 chance of spec/officer as far as i know

s0nic SG

cos not all ppl can get to poly/jc/ite. so they rather enlist early, ord, then come out to work.

Okay i see, so i can request for Enlist after i graduate this year? Anyway I'm currently studying NITEC this year and this year will graduate, so most probably when will i get Enlist? Confirm will get vacancy to Enlist or have to wait?

So the batch i Enlist will be all those ITE students that also completed NITEC too or mix with JC/Poly?

Sometimes its better to be stuck as man.

I believe MINDEF will sent u enlistment letter when u grad since even if u choose to go poly etc after ur ITE, u have to apply for deferement to persue ur poly education.

ITE batches should be mixed with the JC/poly batches depending on when u grad i believe since there is no dedicated batch like JC/poly which is mainly due to the period they graduate.

There are pros and cons regardless whether u officer, spec or man.

I enjoyed my days as a spec though its a log spec which is commonly known to have little spec power but i would say it was what i do and my superiors that made me enjoy it and not really the rank i held even if it means i don't need to be a guard for guard duty :p

He's still in NS currently. He was posted to SCDF.

Okay so most probably i will receive the enlistment letter at the end of December? So confirm will get enlist after my NITEC? I don't want to delay longer time to get enlist because after serving National Service, can get a FT job already..

Ur cous didn't even qualify for ITE? What sort of work can do then without any sort of qualifications?

what do you mean?

dkcx SG

You should get a letter for medical checkup within this year since its about 6months or more after medical checkup for enlistment. If you don't get anything then maybe you should check with them.

what do you mean?

Msg to sonic not to u

When your cousin Enlist? Your race is Malay or Chinese? SCDF majority is Malay race right? I not racist, i just asking:) No offence!

I am not sure if he can qualify for ITE, but I know he didnt qualify for Poly/JC. Well, that's his own decision to enlist early.
