what offences does NS man has to do in order to get into DB ?
and how long will each offence charges be ? and how do they charge? . a friend of mine recently got caught at home after awol -ing for 1 month plus . how long will he be charged for in db ?
It doesn't take much to get into DB. It's how serious the superior deem the act seems to be. I'm only basing on SAF and SCDF. No idea about SPF with regards to DB.
Insubordination alone can land an NSF or NSman in DB. Yes, during my reservist stint, I've experience my section mates got sent to DB for the stupidest thing when the whole reservist period is only 2 weeks.
For NSman, forgetting to book IPPT can get you in trouble too. Some officers prefer to make it difficult for you. They know you can pay the fine thus they choose to send you to DB for not booking/missing IPPT for that work year. So be careful.
Length of stay, like other said, duration varies. So no one can really say how long. But it's fair to say 1 mth AWOL deserve at least 1 month in DB? That does not include an extra month add on to serve NS.
If anyone hates doing NS, better to quickly serve and F.O, AWOL only lengthen the NS period. I know this personally as 1 of my siblings end up serving almost 5yrs in NS for repeated AWOL and subsequent DB.
Why waste 5 years of one's life in Full time NS when 2 years is more than enough.
