Anyone age around 16(1/2) have receive NS leafleat?

I have receive mine. If possible can some kind soul enlighten me, is it just introducing NS to me instead of asking me join NS, because if is asking me to enter service, I might need to defer myself, for studies.

Secondly, if, so, how do I defer myself? Thanks. Very Happy

That is just the letter for early enlistment. There are people who like to clear their NS before going to JC/Poly/ITE etc so this is for them. If you like to join you can sign up if not you can just ignore the letter, continue with your education and wait for the actual enlistment notice to come when you are close to graduation.

deferment is done online i think.

If I'm not wrong that will be when I reach 17 (1/2) years old right? Very Happy

stellazio SG

Says here.

Why should I serve National Service?
National Service contributes to the security and well-being of our families and our nation. It is our duty to protect and make Singapore a better place to live in.

The age depends on where you go be it JC/poly/ITE. You will be called up for medical checkup the year you are graduating from JC (normally first half of the year) or for poly it will be the year before you graduate (normally 2nd half of the year).

There are of course exceptions to the norm when you are forgotten by mindef or some other reasons mostly due to human error.

Send by school right? If similar, I kena send before. I sit in the bus chat with my friend instead. KNN! $4 bucks lea. Laughing

Is poly case same as ITE? Cos, I err, entering ITE as of Jan 2, 2008.

stellazio SG

no, never go safti.. got give us time to go army museum but we rather go back. Laughing

stellazio SG

foc for nsf. Laughing

dkcx SG

Erm that will depends on when you graduate. If you will graduate end of year like JC then higher chance you will be with them. If you graduate in Apr like poly then you will be with them loh.

Regardless, you will be allowed to complete your ITE education before you need enlist for the army so don't need worry about not being able to complete your studies. If they were to sent a letter too early, just login to ns.sg and apply for a deferment.

toyota-corolla SG

Should be different. Laughing

dkcx SG

No offence but PES C no point go OCS like since it won't motivate them to become officers they since are not eligible for it.
