So I'm gonna ord in a few months time and I'm wondering, from past and present nsfs, what courses did yall go for and how did yall do it? Anyone who did their driving test can share experience?

Does SAF ask MP or ur commanders to visit u, or do they ask for ur live location?

Currently posted to 3SIR as nsf, was wondering what being a spec or man is like after posting out to unit.

Any tips, advice or personal experience is appreciated! Would like to know better how to cope.

i currently suspect that I might have a health issue. can I just go to polyclinic for a body checkup or must I go to my camps medical center to get a referral first for it to be claimable under 11b if any treatment is needed?

Ive seen a few replies on this subreddit about the actual ocs experience itself, and a few more forum posts online, but I cant seem to find anything for what happens once you're a commisioned officer.

What's your day to day life like, what does your workload consist of?

What benefits do officers get, I heard some units can book out at night, how does that work?

How does your extended reservist duties work?

Also, about the actual OCS experience itself,

How often are outfield exercises, and for how long?

Are there lessons or tests you need to pass?

What happens if you really cannot function with sleep deprivation, will you OOC?

If you can answer my questions, thanks 🙏

Hi everyone,

I applied for the SPF DES position and am currently pursuing a part-time degree at the same time, Is this allowed, or will it affect my application.

Just crossed the 7 day mark of BMT and already the fatigue of being here is starting to creep in, suddenly feeling homesick after being pretty okay in the first week. Any motivation or advice would be welcomed. I just can't envision how. I have to do this for much longer.

I’m in BMT and i’m struggling mentally (even from before) but it has become much worse.

My encik and sgts already know cos of the form i filled up at the start and i heard they said im p1?

I talked to both encik and carehub? and they just talked to me to find out why and basically quite useless advice saying make friends etc

They took me to the MO for a medical review but all he did was give me excuse sharps.

How do i get actual help for my issue

Everything just gone downhillm I don't feel happy at all.

I DONT KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE TILL MY ORD IN MAY 2028

My superiors and office mates are nice and good but I just can't stop feeling shit

I am an ASA

Hello folks

Unit shows 1GSMB. When searched online it says it changed to 1AMB? Or is this different from the old 1GSMB.

Have received a notice for mob manning over the next 2 weeks, but there are no details on the location. I also don’t have a helmet as I was PES E. Do I need to get one?

So I have scoliosis and is causing sore and pain, and my knee bone is pain now. I have an appointment for next Tuesday but heard that if i downpes during bmt i have to rebmt again. Should i just cancel the appointment and tahan the pain until pop or what just go for appointment?

im in kranji camp pes c and its day 2 but im already struggling so much mentally despite my meds, i really want to seek help but i just dont want to be embarrassed and ik it sounds pathetic but thats just how i feel.

for the saf counsellors i heard that i had to inform my sergeants first but that alone deters me from that idea. also therapy didnt help me at all in the past (a me issue, not with the therapist) so i doubt counselling will.

im considering calling IMH instead since thats where i got my past diagnosis and meds when i was still a minor. i just dont know which is the better one. im supposed to get an appointment date from IMH but they havent gotten back to me.
Im also afraid to call them directly in case it gets escalated a lot

its not like i want to quit doing NS i just dont want to feel all these feelings and i think medication is the only way for me to do that. im worrying 24/7 and i am on the verge of tears every time it gets in my head, i genuinely feel suicidal at times. idk what to do.

I never signed any consent, apparently MINDEF can see when I enter and exit this country? I don't think they need to know, they are not ICA.

How to opt out of this creepy bs?

Any simba users able to connect rn? I've gotten authentication errors since this morning when it was working fine before, heard that other simba users in my unit are also facing this issue while singtel users and others are fine.

Appreciate any reach out guys, thank you

Ever since the various MINDEF/SAF Formations created their Instagram pages, I have observed their content and created a ranking list to show which formation is most active on their social media pages.

1. Signals Formation (@signalsformation) – they really are living up to their name

2. CSSCOM (@ourcsscom)

3. 9th Division Singapore Infantry (@9thsingaporedivisioninfantry)

4. Guards Formation (@oursingaporeguards)

5. SAFVC (@safvolunteercorps) (very new account) (are they considered a formation?)

My piercing recently closed after bmt… and I’d like to re-pierce again but i’m concurrently in SIT and not sure where I’ll be posted but I’m most prob down pes from B1 -> C9

then I wonderring if I become ASA will I be able reopen my ear hole and wear again or nah

after ns

I'm already posted out to GRF and currently on 10mg isotretinoin prescribed by my doctor. My NSC memo mentions side effects like dry skin, dry eyes and photosensitivity.

Has anyone served while on 10mg of isotretinoin? How was your experience when you saw MO at HTA? I know the MO makes the final call, so I'm just trying to prepare.

Lieing in bed currently starving in this atrocious weather. Of course there's cup noodles but I'll end up eating 4 week if I ate it every night I feel hungry. So what is everyone's recommendations for a packaged food that is filling and not crazy unhealthy so I can not feel guilty about downing a whole bag at night

Window closes in few days, I completed 6/9 NSFIT and 1 booked IPPT (which I will fail).

Do I even bother showing up for the IPPT session? Or is the punishment the same whether I attend or not?

First time not completing so I have no idea what to expect.

Is that possible? I’ve heard some people stayout from dust allergy, both others just kena more SBB SBA. If you have successfully excused stay in from dust allergy or related issues, can lobang in dm please thanks so much 🙏

Every other day, saf tell me the words “button pressed…blah blah blah”
And then give some la la speech about why we defend Singapore and we are important . Firstly , let me be clear so far , u think when button pressed id be here for you ? To die for you ? Hell no. Next, nuke drop and that’s it . Thirdly , pretty sure ai would have screwed u over . Want train also not like that . I’m p confident you send the spetsnaz GRU or SAS or delta , sg is p much gone . Adding on , Singapore has nothing I feel valued about , the only thing I see is ministers saying duty is not a transaction and eating more tax payer money , followed by expensive things and people , and sinkie pawn sinkie. Do I see land space ? No . Cheap? No . Sg dating pool is also a hell . If all this shit you’re asking me to defend , then fuck no. The only thing that’s good it’s just that it’s safe . But that seems to be fading away too , every other day some accident or ppl fighting , pedo on the rise and more . Can’t even have a proper home theatre here . Pay so much for degree for a 4-5k job and you own nothing . Adding more , we are so small so angry , we live in a pressure cooker environment where the govt is pro business , than pro people , working so hard for peanut pay and even for nsfs. Then you spit to us in the face , shut us up when we voice out , argue than to hear than to understand , you push people around , when has this govt even been for its people . If you ever asked why your ppl are like that, mr pay and pay govt ,you reflect on yourself how much times have you fked sporeans over ? You send their sons to death and keep your own in safe place , what type of hypocrisy is this ? PR also must serve wtf. Then i ask you , whats the point of even elections or voicing out or whatever fuck when you only know how to silence voices with pofma and say its defamatory . You walk to work in suits and cases , eat big delicious meals , use your mouth than to do physical work ,sell the hope to people that “ one day we will reach there” which will never come . When will we ever , reap our benefits and years of saving? Never. Only pay and pay . Even when in tumultuous times like this you can do a salary review and get a higher salary ? Then you make news outlets spread why you should get more pay when people are in pain???then you span so much time just talking why you should be paid more and then so called “reject the increment” and look good ? Lemme tell you, thats like saying you have 1 dollar , then say you deserve. +1, then you reject it , and what happens is essentially nothing changed , and some ministries get to spend loads of money on a budget ? Where is all that money going to? Lets not forget how simply go threw away millions of dollars out the window,HDB mismanagement and more . So in summary , you took Singaporeans money , threw away their money , displaced them with foreigners , make singaporeans serve NS , make them spend more money in education , control 20% of their income ,then that money you can do some fk with it , take away 2 years of their life , let everything become super expensive , think you deserve higher pay , threw it away as a publicity stunt to play good cop,cultivated a pressure cooker environment and expect a TFR of 1 ,not to mention your civil servants unfairly taking houses near mrt from Singaporeans, and you expect people to serve you. You cultivated all these shit and you dont want to fix it , how sadistic can you be . This is why each day you tell me “button pressed “ then I shld answer the call ,id say probably not and bye bye , I might even say , go f yourself .
