Only where it counts and has meaning to the contribution they make is when they are applying for HDB flat which is not on the list.

This is money making venture, & that is your contribution to their coffers on HDB, where on earth they want to milk the 'cash cow' for you!! My army mate of the Northern Indian type, during my Reservist's days, VOLUNTEERED for National Day Parade so that, he can get priority in the flat queue. There was another doing that to get ahead of the queue for a Taxi with Comfort...

These are the people who made sacrifices for the Nation..and got sold out..what is the wearing the SAF number 4 to get discounts, want to honor those who volunteer their BLOOD, sweat, tears & time for National Service & Reservists...they should be given a free meal, free MRT/Bus rides, free medical fees...& free MacDonald's limited edition, SAFRA Hello Kitty ( ha ha , side track).

All these discounts are just an insult to our intelligence... so was the $100 & the $80 vouchers...

The clueless NS committee has absolutely no inkling of the psychology of NSmen. The army uniform is associated with wasting 2 years of full time NS and many more years of reservist duty, annual ippt, hardship and humiliation by higher ranks. To celebrate SAF day by getting NSmen to wear their army uniform is basically to remind the NSmen of the pain associated with the uniform, not to mention that the public will tend to avoid men in army uniforms due to sweaty smell. And more recently humiliation through stomp videos of army boys taking a seat on public transport.

Maybe something to lighten things up in here...

Your Role as NSmen
As a NSman, you form the backbone and frontline of our military defence system. Your dedication and commitment represent your will to stand up for the nation, your family, friends and employers.

Within 6 months after your ORD, you will be notified of your deployment and NS unit. Your deployment will be based on considerations of your educational qualifications, medical fitness and the operational and manpower requirements of the SAF.

To empower you to be an operationally ready NSman, MINDEF has put in place a series of world-class training schemes. This is to ensure your physical potential is fully optimised and that you are provided with full support and valued as a soldier.

How does this work?
The NS Training Cycle is a continuation of your active unit training cycle. As such, you are expected to still be able to apply your military skills and knowledge when you return for your In-Camp Training (ICT).

This is a 10-year NS Unit Training Cycle and each stage will last for 3 to 4 NS years. The NS Unit Training Cycle is divided into the following 3 stages:

1348648764213.jpg


Stage 1: Strengthening Stage
This stage focuses on individual and team proficiencies with the aim to maintain Ops Readiness. It is also termed as the ‘IHL years’ as many will be pursuing IHL studies.

Stage 2: Sharpening Stage
This stage focuses on unit proficiency culminating at each Unit’s ATEC evaluation, in which the entire unit will be evaluated on its war fighting capabilities.

Stage 3: Sustain Stage
In this final stage, it is to continually focus on Ops Readiness and integrated training. The milestone event will be to phase the NS Unit to Army Operational Reserves and the NSmen to MINDEF Reserves (MR). This is usually commemorated during a MR Parade/Ceremony in the presence of the NSmen’s families and employers.

During each ICT, your Unit Commander will stipulate a set of performance standards to be achieved. You are encouraged therefore, to train yourself up physically and be mentally prepared for the tough training.

Note that if you fail to meet the required performance standards, you will be subjected to corrective training. That is, your Unit Commander may decide to serve you additional NS call-up for Make-Up Training (MUT).

What are the Training Institutes?
For a more holistic and effective training management for the various arms, the NSmen’s training are now managed by the respective Training Institutes (TIs). You will then report back to your respective TI for your NS training during your ICT:
Armour Training Institute (ATI)
Army Logistics Training Institute (ALTI)
Artillery Institute (AI)
Commando Training Institute (CTI)
Engineer Training Institute (ETI)
Infantry Training Institute (ITI)
Signal Institute (SI)
What happens after I completed my NS Training Cycle?
Once you have completed your NS training Cycle, you will be posted to the MINDEF Reserve (MR) List and be presented with a Certificate of Appreciation. You may also be given a watch upon the completion of your 10 years of ORNS or your ORNS training cycle, whichever is earlier.

While in MR, you may still be activated during operational exigencies. As an Officer, you remain liable for NS up to age 50 and 40, if you are an Army Warrant Officers and Specialist (WOSE). Note that you are to disregard your previous unit’s mobilisation codewords as you are no longer required to report for mobilisation activation for your previous units. A new codeword will be assigned to you accordingly should you be mobilised while you are in MR. If you are travelling overseas for 6 months or more, you are still required to apply for Exit Permit.

How can I be in contact?
You are encouraged to remain your contact with your NS Unit and buddies so that they can be your source of help should you require any queries pertaining to your ORNS matters.

Alternatively, you may refer to the followings:
Through your Unit’s Chain of Command - rifleman contacts Section Commander/Platoon Sergeant > Section Commander/Platoon Sergeant contacts Platoon Commander > Platoon Commander contacts OC, OC contacts CO.
Login to NS Portal (www.ns.sg) to access to your NS Unit’s webpage under MyUnit.
Call 1800-3676767 (eNSNSNS) should you require further assistance to locate MyUnit or your NS Commanders.

As frontline soldiers, it is essential that you maintain physical fitness and undergo regular training.
The Enhanced NS IPPT system was implemented on 1 Apr 2011. It incorporates principles of fitness training science to enable NSmen to train more effectively, while offering flexibility in planning their fitness training to stay fit. Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is a standard physical fitness test to gauge the basic physical fitness of an individual. The IPPT is a standard physical fitness test designed to test the basic components of physical fitness and motor skills of an individual soldier. In this service package, NSmen can find out about policies governing IPPT and book their IPPT dates.
In the IPPT Gazette under the Enlistment Act dated 26 May 06, if an NSman fails to pass, or fails to take, the IPPT within any IPPT year, he will have to attend and complete a remedial training programme at any SAF FCC.

IPPT can be divided into the followings:

ICT IPPT
This is a requirement for all NSmen participation as part of the ICT programme, unless exempted due to medical reasons.

Non-ICT IPPT
This is conducted at various IPPT test centres and the NSman can make as many attempts at the Fitness Conditioning Centres (FCCs). Note that only the first 3 IPPT attempts will be considered towards the NSman’s NS liability and be paid service and make-up pay, if applicable.

SAF Health Screening Programme
With effect from 30 May 2011, “IPPT-FFI” was incorporated into the revised SAF Health Screening Programme, which is the compulsory medical examination for all IPPT-eligible NSmen 35 years of age and above. There is no need to do a separate "IPPT-FFI" if you have already completed the SAF Health Screening Programme for that year.The SAF Health Screening Programme review should be initiated by your NS unit administrator once your IPPT window, i.e. your birthday window is open.

If you are IPPT-eligible, 35 years of age and above, you are required to complete the SAF Health Screening Programme every year before your IPPT attempt. The aim of this medical screening is to detect any medical conditions which may make you unsuitable for the IPPT.Note that if you have not completed your SAF Health Screening Programme requirements for the year, you will not be allowed to take your IPPT. You will be issued with a certificate once you have completed your SAF Health Screening Programme requirements. The certificate is valid for 30 days until your next birthday; i.e. if you are 35 years old, this certificate will be valid until (and including) the 30th day after your 36th birthday.

Applicability
The annual IPPT is applicable to all PES A, B/B1, B2/C1 NSmen and DXO with NS liability, till age 45 and 40 years old for Officers and WOSPEC respectively. The NSman's IPPT annual requirement commences on his birthday immediately after his NSF Operational Ready Date (ORD) and ends when he is posted to MINDEF Reserves (MR), or medically downgraded to PES C2 and below.

What is the IPPT Window?

The NSman's IPPT window is based on his birthday. The IPPT window commences on his birthday and ends on the day before his next birthday, both days inclusive. NSman who has just ORDed can take his IPPT immediately. The results will be counted towards his IPPT requirements for the first NS year. The IPPT window is divided into two parts as follows:
The first 9 months.
Commences on the NSman's birthday and ends on the day before the 10th month of his birthday window. NSman must attempt at least 1 IPPT within this period.
The last 3 months. Commences on the first day of the 10th month of NSman birthday window and ends on the day before his next birthday. RT must be completed within this period, and will be applied for the following cases:
20 sessions of RT for IPPT failures and defaulters, and IPT defaulters who did not complete the 10-session IPT program.
8 sessions of RT for those who completed the 10-session IPT/E1 PEP program but did not meet the PPT.
Test Frequency
NSmen must attempt at least ONE IPPT within their first 9 months of the IPPT window. They can make as many attempts as they want within their first 9 months of the IPPT window. Regardless of the number of attempts made at the FCC, only the first 3 attempts by the NSman will be considered towards his NS liability and will be paid service and make-up pay, if applicable. Notwithstanding this, the SAF will continue to bear the responsibility for service injuries sustained by the NSmen whilst attempting the IPPT beyond the third attempt. NSmen will not be allowed to make any more attempts within their annual IPPT window at the FCC after attaining the GOLD standard, regardless of the number of attempts.
IPPT Requirement
All eligible NSmen must attempt their IPPT once within the first 9 months of their IPPT window. They may attempt IPPT during their ICT or at any FCC and may make as many attempts as they want to improve their IPPT results, except for NSmen who have attained the IPPT Gold standards for the IPPT year. The best result achieved will be taken as the record for that IPPT year.

What are the IPPT exemptions?
You are exempted from your annual IPPT if you fit into the following conditions:
All IPPT-liable NSmen will only be exempted on the following conditions.
Permanently downgraded to PES C2 and below.
Have continuous medical exemption (from IPPT) for a period of 4 months or more during the first 9 months of the IPPT Birthday Window.
Have accumulated medical exemption (from IPPT) for a period of 7 months or more during the first 9 months of the IPPT Birthday Window.
NSmen who are disrupted from ORNS duties.
*The onus is on the NSmen to inform their NS units and present their medical documentation as evidence, when called back to answer to the IPPT related charges. Alternatively, they can request for a medical review by a SAF Medical Officer though his NS unit.
