what does this mean? What mus i do now?

You are required to book a Remedial Training(RT) Schedule.
However, you cannot book now due to the following possible reasons:
1) You may have defaulted your previous RT schedule; or
2) There is no available RT slot within your RT window for booking

Pls contact your NS unit immediately for a RT schedule or further clarification.

1) Are you a RT defaulter? Meaning you didn't book any RT 2 months within your window is closed. If no, move on to number 2...

2) Are you trying to book an RT? If yes, it means no more slots, call your unit for help...

 

[herosmissing]

2) I can either call my unit or wait and check back a few weeks later to see if there any slots?

You must book within 2 months after your window is closed. If you have time, of cause you can wait...

I heard that in order to be exempted from from RT, one have must an improvement of one grade per station on the last session the IPT (the IPPT session). Otherwise, he will still have to go or RT. Is it true?

Thanks.

1)I don't understand your question.Please explain further.

If you are talking about the voluntary training programme that people do before going for IPPT,then it is called IPT.RT is what NSmen do AFTER they have failed their IPPT.Both IPT and RT can be booked from ns.sg.Just look out for the option called "Book Non-ICT IPPT/RT/IPT" on the left side of the screen.

2)RT is 8 weeks long and is split into 2 phases.Phase 1 is 4 weeks and you do 2 sessions per week(1 weekday and 1 weekend).Phase 2 is 4 weeks but you do 3 sessions a week instead(2 weekday,1 weekend).

Your employer will have to let you off earlier for RT as it is considered as reservist(The amout of time you spent doing RT will count towards your max callup of 40 days a year).Just show them a printout of your RT booking,there shouldn't be any problem.If your company want to deduct your pay because of it,then call up the NS hotline and check with them if you can claim make up pay on top of the half day service pay that they will pay you.

3)There are so many types of holding list out there.We won't know which one you belong too.... Did you just ORD?If you did,then you should be receiving a letter informing you what holding list you are on in about 1 month time.What's your vocation during your NSF day?If you were a signaller or combat engineer,then there is a chance that you are on the HQSIGNAL or HQSCE holding list.

IPT starts at 7pm while RT starts at 6pm...both will last for 2-2.5 hours...do the calculation yourself...For when, you can to choose your own schedule...eg tues and thurs and you will stick to this...For RT, die die is 1 weekday and 1 weekend, IPT can both be weekdays...

Another way is to downgrade lor...got to downgrade till the level that you cannot take IPPT hor...

Yup,what vasilli said is correct.In addition,weekend timing for RT is from 4p-8pm.

Read up this 2 links to learn more about defering but I can tell you honestly that your chances of doing so is nearly impossible.

Besides downgrading,the only other way to be exempted from IPPT for one window(1 year) is to have 6 months continuous MC or 9 months accumulated MC within 1 window.The problem is that even if you manage to get enough MC for 1 window,can you always get so many for the rest of the years?If like that,might as well downgrade.Somemore you must go down to medical centre to get it endorsed.

They very particular about IPPT/RT so don't play around too much with the system.

Anyone know the updated policy pertaining to NSmen in IHL?

I called the NS hotline and was told that NSmen in IHL (NUS, NTU, SMU) are required to go for RT should they fail their IPPT. However, the advice given here seems to be on the contrary, i.e. NSMen in IHL are only required to attempt IPPT and no RT for failing.

Thanks for the reply. Just did a search and found some relevant threads.

Seems like all the uni students received notification of the policy change and I did not. Oh well.

i also did not receive anything...

but if u cannot pass the ippt then just go take the ipt

i took rt during the first few week of this sem

and the ipt during my exam

and found that ipt is much more slack compared to rt

I wish I could, but my window closes next week. Just took my IPPT and the SBJ station did me in, I had 5-point for all the stations and 3-point for my 2.4km.

I'm trying for a partial pass this Thursday by taking just the SBJ station. I will need to plan RT for the new window if I fail.
