ICT deferment unsuccessful

[corerevival]

Me supposed to go for ICT in May, but I got internship to do cos I ish from NTU. So I thought maybe can defer, but fwah today MINDEF tell me my deferment ish unsuccessful .

But I no choice cos my internship is for the entire holidays, right after internship finish ish school start le, cos of stupid YOG last year so this year holiday become shorter.

Now ish even more emo, cos I already book holiday overseas just before my internship start, but I have to go for briefing Means I just wasted my money on holiday?

Can I appeal for deferment?

How can I find who is my CO?

 

[Devilsire]

in the first place if u are a full-time student in NTU, i thought u'll be placed in reserve holdings right after ORD?

call up mindef request for yr unit direct contact no, be prepared to have a student certification from NTU to be faxed to them if you havent done so in the past

Go back to your unit CO during the first day after in-pro. Then show him you are a student from NTU and better still, have a letter from your school to prove that you are away for internship. I believe NTU has a branch of office to help student with NS matters...etc. If you got that letter, chances are very high you could defer.

Btw, yours is high key or low key. If low key, I think a certain win-win situation could be reached between you & your CO. If high key, then not very possible, but also certain agreement could be reached base on your NS vocation.

How can I find who is my CO?

Suggest you call Unit chief clerk or whoever that issue you the SAF100.

CO usually also reservist.

All else fail, call ns hotline to check lor.

Cos nowadays even if you are studying in in uni, you can also get called up during holidays.. but just happen that this holiday is my official internship so I can't miss it. My friends take MC for 1 day already kpkb by company, imagine if I want to excuse myself for one week

summore stupid YOG means sch start straight away, no time to do additional one week of internship to make up.

Now also headache cos i already booked air tickets for a short holiday, then they come and tell me I have ICT briefing and it's during the time that i'm on holiday. now I dunno if I will have to waste my $300 dollars air tickets or whether I can defer, and my friends also cannot go ahead to book accommodation cos I also cannot confirm whether I can defer or not.

I sent email to contact@ns.sg to ask for my unit CO contact, you think it will work?

Not necessary, unless one is lucky enough to get posted to units that do not schedule their ICTs during school holidays.

There are those so-called units which mainly have the same group of people who ORDed together, and so, during the uni periods (4 to 5 years) the callups will typically be during the holidays.

nope, the one who issued the rejection letter is a regular, cos i googled for his name lol.

I ever tried going through the appeal chain of command.
3 request total.
1st request my CO reject
2nd Request division reject
3rd request CMPB call back say reject.

I went MP to seek grevience after wasting 2.5mths appealing. Immediately give me all options available such as "3 days off" or "defer totally"

My case was that i have degree exam at 10am. My callback inpro @ 8am.
Given the "efficiency".....how they can guarantee my approval when i book in?

All call from mindef was to tell me "book in and request timeoff from CO"
One question and none dare to vouch for me "can guarantee i can get approval and leave by 9am?"

industrial attachment that is required by school or your own internship?? if the former get NTU shoot a letter, if the latter, glhf

 

[cocotiun]

how come you don't know who your co is? i thought co reviews your deferment requests, no? who replied you the last time?

i guess different units handle things differently. Mine belong to the same specialised group who will stick together throughout nsf/reservist and basically, fulltime students after ord are placed in reserved holding for 3-4 years. But some cases where ict is arranged during holiday period, these reserved holding personnel can callup unit to volunteer for the ict commitment provided there're slots in nominal roll.

Different bro, that is Industrial Attachment. u miss one week no big deal, cos you are there for 6 months. Mine is Professional Attachment, 10 weeks only. One week missing makes a lot of difference.

Anyway, to end the story, I appealed my deferment and explained my reasons with a letter. Approved =).

When I appealed, you can send in additional supporting documents. I just wrote a letter and sent it to the email they provided.

I still can't find my CO. I sent in a request to get the contact of my CO to contact@ns.sg but they havent replied after 3 weeks.
