SCDF and SPF is not mono, SCDF go civil defence academy/HTA for basic then go for course then post to various places like fire station, police station, coast guard etc etc

Mono intake ish more fierce than normal tekong peeps, u will be there for 2years unless u erm post out due to medical reason

From what I understand, for mono intake. Even if downpes cause of medical reason is also usual stay in the UNIT itself but revocate

It usually depends on the unit. If they wanna revocate u within the unit, they must have a vacancy they can put u at to request for the personnel to remain in unit. If the unit already has more than enough manpower then the person will be posted out instead cos S1 cannot justify for keeping for person.

Mostly you will be a man in that unit. If there are alot of manspower, after BMT you will still post to to bcome a man even you have leadership & etc.

Mono intake means that once you enlist, generally, you will be at that unit for the rest of your NS life. It sucks cos its tougher as they only want the best ppl to stay and its likely to be a shorter BMT, so the daily schedule is more pack, means less rest time too.

But mono doesn't not mean that you will be stuck there. If you are not suitable and they have enough manpower, you'll be posted out. If you CMI in CDO/NDU, they will not keep you. You will be booted out, no point keeping a lame soldier. Its a minor blow for some ppl cos they have already invested in the BMT there, made new friends and all their efforts go down the drain.

U can only apply to enlist after u are 16.5 and even then u will only get enlisted when there is a vacancy available which is usually close to a year or so from the date you apply

If u planned to enlist liao why still go take exams... Bookout for exams is subjected to ur PC/OC approval and depending on the training on the day itself but usually is granted.
