This two paragraph is confusing. So if its less than a year do I
apply for defer or an EP online?
Defer accordingly only if you've ALREADY received a ICT call-up
letter. Otherwise, can safely act blur & apply "normally" for
EP. I'd rather do everything via my unit out of convenience, but
that's a personal choice.
What I meant earlier was that you cannot disrupt reservist if only
you're away working for less than one year. Can only defer, geddit
now? (Getting approved for disruption means your unit will likely
post you out -- back to the holding list -- & drafting in a
replacement to fill your spot on the nominal roll. Getting
deferment means your unit will keep you on, but you'll probably
have to do a makeup ICT if there's workyear time left, or run the
risk of getting recycled on later when everyone's stood
down.)
What evidence are you referring to for them to confirm I am back
in Singapore?
Immigration Dept can confirm your passport
arrivals/departures.
