1st Charge for RT = Warning + $ Fine?

Techwiz101 SG

Hi guys, I'm an NSmen, well, in the recent year, I missed taking my RT, and well eventhough I attempted my IPPT during my last reservist in August 2008, I failed. I received a letter from Mindef to answer a charge for not reporting for my RT.

Does anyone have any actual experience with such a thing? First time charge, I know they'll issue a warning. What about the fine? Well, the truth is, I'm broke...I lost my job 3 weeks ago, and my funds are running low.

What will happen during the session at NSSC?

My charge is at 3.15pm tomorrow afternoon. If they gonna fine me, I think I really no money to pay sia...

Advice anyone?

The thought of being fine gave me a pinch in my pockets, learnt my lesson, already booked for my next RT session. Set reminders on my pda phone, just to alert me when the time is coming.

no money to pay? sell your pda phone.

Well, the only reason I got a pda phone is to keep track of my appointments and check my emails on the go, well, at least for the kinda of job scope that I'm looking for..that was the whole reason why I got it during my birthday this year...

Sell my pda phone and I have no phone. Not exactly practical.

Pay the fine in 10ct coins.

slim10 SG

Legal tender only $2 for 5/10/20 cent coins, $10 for 50 cent coins. No limit for $1.

So max is 40x5 cent coins, 20x10 cent coin, 10x20 cent coin, 20x 50 cent coin and 34x$1 coin for $50 fine or 124 coins.

-----------------

Unless one can pass, after RT, better do IPT. Otherwise, kena another RT again.
