Hi guys, I enlisted on Jan this year. I was from polytechnic and completed all my modules in September 2020 as I deferred one of the semester due to a serious injury.
I only need to serve 22 months as I passed my pre-enlistee IPPT. My ORD date would be Nov 2022.
My question is: My section mates are all JC and I know that they cant disrupt. But am i able to disrupt NS to attend University in August 2022?
You will need to check with the relevant personnel in your camp, usually is the S1 (manpower) branch that handles this matters.
Disruption depends on factors such as which university you are attending, your poly cohort. Local public university tend to be given disruption
For poly cohort, if your poly classmate who enlisted earlier than you are able to commence their studies in 2022, you will be most likely granted disruption. This is to ensure fairness to those who were enlisted later.
However, since you extended 1 more semester, it may not be that straight forward because you may be categorize separately since you graduated later
From what I know, your commander does not have any say in your disruption.
When I applied for disruption in 2013, I just went to my S1 branch and ask the ASA about the procedure. I submitted my application with the relevant supporting document. I didn't even notify my commanders that I was applying for disruption
I was eventually granted 1 month of disruption, there were some who disrupted for 4 months.
By the way your rank does not really matter in the application for uni disruption. I was a CPL and was granted disruption but a LTA disruption application was rejected because his university was not recognized. He tried to appeal by getting his commander to endorse & support his application but was still rejected.
