[twh_9977]

Hi all,

Just received my enlistment letter last week. Will be enlisting in 14 Aug, 945am, BMTC. Just wondering if anyone got the same enlistment date as me?

Me enlisted on 9 November 2017. BMTC School 3, Pulau Tekong. Bravo coy. Using Taurus coy building. Cookhouse usually at cookhouse 2 (the one next to school 3), sometimes at cookhouse 3 (the one next to Pulau Tekong medical centre). The most memorable 4 months of the 24 months of my National Service journey.

Then after that I got posted to Armour, at Sungei Gedong Camp. Re-posted actually, because my BMT was with 1guards.

Unit life is so specialised. Armour in particular is not the same as Infantry. Everyday do about the same thing. But a lot more welfare and admin time.

3 more months to ORD. Woots.

Tips for incoming NSFs, from outgoing NSF (3 more months to ORD)

1. Wet wipes, use the $1 baby looney toons wet wipes, available at most valudollar stores. Eg. Jurong Point. But I must say, not every valudollar store have. This wet wipes is a favourite among NSFs.

2. Mobile phone data. That time I was using only 6.5gb. BMT time still can survive with 6.5gb, because most of the time outside. But after BMT, when I'm posted to unit, I find that my data always burst. 15gb is okay if you use conservatively. But, for heavy users like me, 30gb is advisable. Which, lucky for you, m1 now got 30gb for $25.

The rest, ask your Sergeants.

TS ask this, why hijack his post talk cock ah?

Why need to tell your NS liability status? I also long ago MR but this info not answering his question.

 

[Lee Jia Xin]

Oh ya. Another thing is, the enlistee very first allowance is given on the day when they book out for the first time, after their two weeks of confinement.

Allowance is for the one month ahead.

And the first allowance, and probably the last allowance also, is prorated.

So, for the thread starter (TS), his enlistment is on 14 August, his first allowance is for the period from 14 August to 9 September.

The subsequent allowance is on the 10th of every month.

His 1st bookout will be on 30th Aug.

So, if what I understand, his 1st pay on 10 Sept is for 14 Aug to 9 Sept?

I'm speaking from my experience. Maybe during your time not like that. But during my time, it was like that.

As always, the thread starter can ask his Sergeants about it.

Can't remember my time, too long ago. Ha..ha..ha.

And yes, TS commanders can give him a more accurate info. I believe he maybe in the same batch as my son. Also enlisted ytd.

Maybe your first book out coincide with the regular pay day.

Prorated value, probably from my first bookout on 24 November 2017 to 9 December 2017, before I begin drawing my allowance on the regular date on the 10th of every month.

15/30 × 560 = 280

Around there. Minus off the 0.2 for Pioneer magazine and 0.2 for NSmen magazine, I think the amount is 279.6

Similarly, when I approach my last allowance, for the period from 10 October to 8 November, I believe it will be slightly prorated, as the allowance would be for 29 days, instead of the usual 30 days.

Reason is because by enlisting, I am officially part of them already, so of course the first allowance would be given on the day when I book out for the first time, so that I got money to spend, and not have to survive on my own until the 10th of the next month, which is 15 days on my own.

Think you think too much. Ur first book out just coincided with the regular pay date.

 

[sohcheekeong]

I believe payday for SAF regulars and NSMen are fixed on the 10th of each month, unless 10th is a public holiday in which the money will be deposited on the 9th. It has been like that since a long time ago, even during my time in 1987.

Anybody here has a different experience (ie got their pay other than on the 9th or 10th)?

So, those who posted their enlistment dates, what's your worries about National Service?

Otherwise what's the purpose of creating this thread?
