Hi people,

Well first and foremost, i'm enlisting into the PA soon and would like some details about life in the academy. What are the do's and do-not's.

It could be better if you could give me more details of what items it's advisable to bring on enlistment day etc? Thanks in advance. :>

qazplm SG

qazplm SG

Alva Noto SG

I'll be enlisting on the 16th of march. You mean i have to go through another round of medical examination apart from the one at cmpb?

qazplm SG

yes.... its diff.... that medical is for ARMY..... and u hv to go for another one..... this time if i am not wrong.... body will be check for tatoo also... others its about the same.... unless the procedure had change... Mr. Green

qazplm SG

maybe u may hv any doubt.... juz post all ur question here.. cos i wont know u noe wat to do already and wat u are unsure... Mr. Green

Alva Noto SG

Well say for some reasons, i failed the medical or something crop out, i'm gonna be sent home and get reposted elsewhere?

Another thought on this, i think i didn't meet the minimal weight requirement for spf. So does that mean i'm not eligible to serve my ns with the spf even though the cmpb posted me to there?

Alva Noto SG

i'm not sure if i'm gonna get through the medical because i was previously sent to Alexander Hospital for a heart scan by cmpb the last time round. But they still graded me pes b after the hospital sent me the result which said 'Adnormal'.

Well yea, i'm expecting lotsa ground rules to follow.

By the way. i'll be serving an extra 2 months since i didn't attempt my physical fitness test. Does that mean i'm not allow to go home for the first 2 months as well? In additional to the first 2 weeks of my bmt period.
