Understudy for nsf army

[Realhits45]

I understand that usually saf will supply understudy for appointment holder nsf usually 3-6 months before they ord but is there a case where the ord personnel ord before the understudy arrives?

Lately my cousin who is a cqms at tekong say he ord in August but as of now no understudy will be arriving at any point of time. He went to s4 branch to request but they say likely this time, nsf will ord before their understudy arrives due to the low birth rate in Singapore. I find this highly deceiving. How can an organization not find one bloody understudy for a simple job role.

My time I had to request from s4 branch 5 months prior to my ord date and he came exactly a week later. And now my cousin say they are minimizing all the logistics, asa and manpower nsf. Usually 1 coy got 1cq, 2-4 storeman (maybe more my time was 8), 1 armskote ic (can be 3sg or men) and at least 2 asa minimum.

Now, 1cq, 1 storeman, 1 armskote and 1 asa. And they expect these 4 people to do duty at the same time too.

Anyone cAn give an input?

It’s possible. As simple as it sounds.

No such thing as 3-6 months understudy will come before upperstudy ORD.

A lot of factors such as when your S1 or higher HQ request manpower to replace ORD personal.

Upon reaching your unit 'queue' number, does the trainee intake has anyone who can meet your unit requirement such as security clearance?

The assigned intake trainee fail to pass out from course, so your unit will have to wait for next intake for manpower allocation.

Last time my SIR COY only have 1 ASA, 1 CQ, 1 Storeman & 1 Armskoteman.

If ASA not around, not sure if NSF PS got access to intranet but your NSF PC or REG should have it to get urgent work done. If not urgent, just snowball and wait for ASA to come back.

Each PL will assign Riflemen to be 'Armskote IC & 2IC' to assist Armskoteman. If needs more help, 'Armskote IC & 2IC' will request from their PL to assist with Armskoteman supervising them.

When CQ & Storeman needs manpower, they will request 1 or all PL to assign Riflemen to assist them on ad hoc basis.

That's usually the case but from what my cousin describe, it's gotten so bad that everyone even the asa and sa have no understudy.

Very likely will have but what's weird is his friend other units have understudy even before the 6th months are up.

I can attest to that. But luckily my branch at gedong got so many unfit Bui bui soldiers so throw all of them (including me) be storeman. CQ shake leg just ask people do work but he need do accounting ba

Where got usually case? For example, why you have 8 storeman in the first place? Maybe some combatant down pes and waiting to revocation, so temporary assign to help out as storeman.

So somehow revocation order never come down, so end up have extra headccount. Your original heacount may only have 1 storeman which mean there will not be any replacement for 7 storeman after they ORD.

Very likely will have but what's weird is his friend other units have understudy even before the 6th months are up.

Most likely his unit S1 or higher HQ sc.rew up. Or there will be a big change in organization structure coming up.

S4 branch deals with logistics. S1 branch deals with manpower. Not sure why you asked the logistics side for manpower questions. Your S1 branch would have been the better place to approach for enlightenment.

Also, it’s not confirmed you’ll get an understudy. Sometimes there will be a period of gap or there might be possible understaffing.

Your question stems from the desire of wanting an easier life towards the end of NSF life. If you’re fortunate to have an understudy to take up your responsibilities, good for you. Else, life just goes on.
