stellazio SG

u will be no diff from other ppl..

u think being a jc student gives u special benefits..

maybe higher chance of going ocs but thats about it..

saline SG

u completed your As? if not, i think u'll be considered as an O level enlistee.
just go to CMPB if u have not received ur enlistment letter.

Shotgun SG

One advice: The milo 3-1 mix u get… u wont have hot water outfield. So slit the packet carefully along the side… den pour a bit of water in, and mix it up with a biscuit. When its pasty… u got instant YAN YAN! Enjoy!

THE ANALYST SG

Vito,

just some information for you. If you are younger than the normal enlistment age of 18, you may enlist early under the VEES Voluntary Early Enlistment Scheme. I know cos I myself volunteered under that scheme! Very Happy I went in when just a 17 year old kid!

For more info on that scheme, tune to

All the best to you! Laughing

Ponders SG

AS long you entered and studied abit of JC, you will be eligible for Pulau Tekong Leadership BMT already.

Uncle_MooMoo SG

hi can tell me more about life as an early enlistee cause I'm thinking of signing up too, thanks!

Ponders SG

i dunno how true this is, but early enlistees are less likely to get a combat vaocation after BMT.

At least i saw this pattern when i was in NS, they end up with very "lobo" vocations like "generator operator assistant", etc.

vito_corleone SG

i think thats only for under 18's Laughing
