Any worth it snacks?

Hi, for context i’m a 20 year old Singapore PR and i just ORD’d last week (May 15th). I want to know if i can apply for Singapore Citizenship by myself on my own merit BEFORE i turn 21 years old. I turn 21 in November but since i ORD’d in Mid May, i would prefer to apply for SC ASAP and not have to wait till november when i turn 21 to apply.

Secondly i’d like to know how good are my chances of getting accepted, i served my NS in SPF and received “satisfactory” grades on my transcript, ORD’d without any disciplinary conducts or charges, have lived in sg since age 5 and did n level & higher nitec here. but i have to mention that i don’t have any money in my cpf and i am enrolled in a overseas uni to complete my diploma+ bachelors ( not sure if that affects anything, as i intend to return to sg after my degree )

Any other PR’s who applied recently after ORD, i’d appreciate any tips you guys have!

Thank you for your time.

Whenever i returned to bunk i will remove my no 4 and took out my boots and socks.

Wear admin is the best. What about you guys?

RSOed today and the doctor thought I was faking it even though I was legit sick and coughing

Still got 2 day MC

So for context, whenever I see any guide about PES B4, it always is under the assumption that the person who has PES B4 have excuse RMJ. However, for me, when I check SAF ehealth, it says "There are no existing MC for display" under the Medical Certificates / Excuses section. I have the lipid panel flagged in SAF ehealth as well as being diagnosed with Social Anxiety by MO (via CMBP referral) at IMH, but I don't think it amounted to anything. I also do not have any other excuses.

I'm wondering how life with no excuse RMJ, especially with no other excuses as well, for PES B4 differs from those who have it?

Would that be possible? Over my two years, I got used to military life, and was hoping to sign on.

NSF 👈 💪 🙏 👍 👌 ✌️

hi guys so im in enhanced batch for BMT, and i havent done ippt yet. theres like 2 weeks left and i heard my OIL days will get screwed if i fail. im worried that i keep failing because the machine wont count reps or stress takes over me. can someone with similar experience or knowledge lmk how it was for you at the time?

​

Just received an sms , stating that I have a outstanding balance of $15 to pay even though I have used my 11B . What should I do now , if I call them and try to explain or maybe return the medicine which was charged for does it work ??

Edit : one medicine was not covered so they charged me for it. However when I went last time it was covered so I'm a bit confused

For context, I am a 3SG that finished course, but after finish course get rank I got down PES from PCC and now I'm some ASA. However, my old OC is now telling me because ASA can't be 3SG, I have to down Rank to CPL. But I heard down rank only happens if you get charged for like crime and shit, not for down PES? Is it true that I have to demote even after completing the whole course?

(SCDF, Firefighter) im abt to ORD in a month, exactly 20 days and im planning to travel to Hong Kong but the thing is I only have 1 duty off as OVL

And I’ve already booked my plane earlier this year and I’ve got this idea to take MC on my 2nd off for 3 days and just go with it cause the next shift im already on OVL.

Can someone lmk what’s the worst case scenario and if ppl have done this before

for context ive been interested in signing on to RSAF as an AFE(M), and am already sure that i want to sign on, but recently heard from one of my sgts that if i go to command school first, my pay would increase significantly. is this true and would going to SCS first mean i would be able to sign on as a higher rank than if i were to go sign right after POP?

Got instantly down PES to E9 within 2 days of entering NS because of ezcema. What is going to happen next as im hearing some horror stories of people getting stuck in tekong for 4 to 8 months. Also PES E9 still can do live firing?

Basically i have BPD and my fp is also a boy (im not gay), and like he is the only person i feel safe around or trust, and i will get very scared and paranoid if im not near him. most of the stuff i see here for this stuff is pesdown, but even then i still wont feel better since im not with him so i was wondering if i can ask the medical people to write something to let me be in his unit when i enter NS

Currently a bmt phase 1 recruit, was wondering if phase 2 is stay in or out?

For context, I recently received a letter from MINDEF informing me that my intake for SCDF is scheduled for October this year, which means I will ORD in October 2028. However, I have been accepted into an university overseas that starts in September 2028.

1. Do I have a good chance of being granted disruption?
2. If not, is it possible to request placement in the August 2026 intake instead?
3. Does anyone know how SCDF training and vocation is like for PES E1?

Thanks 🙏

I've been seeing some people dressed in black polo shirts with a yellow star logo and khaki pants around tekong. Anyone knows what unit they are from?

Hello guys. I recently enlisted (not SAF) and finances are pretty tight. Prior to ns I was doing delivery services such as foodpanda / lalamove. Is there a limit to how much you can earn without getting CPF contributions?

pes bp got reclassified to pes A, i failed ippt, didn't do soc, bic, route march. what vocations are possible? heard alr got mono infantry, guards intake in tekong. also took 16 days of MC i don't know if that affects vocation posting?

Must the ziplocs in our alice pack be clear and brand new? What if my ziplocs don't have any holes but they're a little cloudy? Will I get cooked if I do that?
