Dear all,
Just would like to enquire from you guys on something. I am an
NSMen and I had a recent callup from my unit again for an overseas
ICT this coming Nov. I have already been downgraded to
Pes C9L2 last year due to my severe back problem with
my slipped disc. I understand that with this status, I’m still
required to go back for ICT. However, I’m not so sure
about the purpose of being called up for overseas ICT.
I can understand the intention for local ICT and am ok
with it but overseas ICT? I have problems standing and
sitting for too long as my back will hurt a lot.
Hence, I would like to seek your advise from you good guys to
help enlighten me:
1)Are there any grounds for my unit to recall me back for this
overseas ICT? Could there be some slip ups in updating
my medical status?
2)Assuming that they did not screw up and indeed got my updated Pes
status, can anyone help advise why would they want to recall me
back for overseas ICT?
3) Is there anyway I can request for my unit to excuse me from this
and subsequent overseas ICT? Any make up for local
ICT I’m ok with it.
Fyi, I’ve been recalled back for the last 2 years to attend the
overseas ICT but I had to defer due to my
examinations. Not sure if this is the reason why they “die die”
want to recall me now that my examinations has finished? Just
afraid of worsening my back as as of current, I already have a hard
time standing or sitting in a position too long. Really do not want
to aggravate it further.
Pls kindly advise. Thanks a lot in advance.
1) Please call the NS-HRC (NS Hub) of your respective NS Division/
Formation.
2) PES C are liable for Overseas ICTs, so PES C can and will be
called up for such overseas exercises.
3) Apply for an official Deferment application thru the
online MyDeferment e-service on www.ns.sg in the NSman tab.
