He may consider to give you time off on certain days. However, all these is depending on training plans and needs. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of 2 alternatives. firstly, defer this time and probably for the next ICT, get someone to jagar. Alternatively, tell OC to allow u book out early..... say 4-5pm? if u say book out 12pm...think confirm they wont allow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reservist old bird can share whether such request can be granted? If not i have to think of alternatives. Call up your reservist unit first, speak to your Chief Clerk about this matter, make a record of your discussion, and ask her to have put into your case file. On the day of reporting, speak with yrou CSM about this matter, and have brought up to your PC/OC. You need to go step by step, (proper channel) This is a small matter, and I've seen early release of some of my men on these grounds. In saying, you will not be allowed to leave if training starts, meaning, during a field exercise, except for exceptional cases. (wife giving birth or death etc...)

Chief Clerk says give him 6 months notice to make alternative arrangement liao CO say depends on training schedule (he only booked out a total of 2 1/2 day in a 2 weeks) Even when he ask to be excused from weapon familiarization (in preparation for live firing), CO says it's important in case he forget how to handle, he offer to prove he can, but CO say it's essential to ensure no accident. My advise after hearing from him. Prepare for the worse and bring in extra phone/battery and charger including car charger. He also smuggle in a smart phone to reply email, do quotation.

Wanderer Clutched January 19, 2009 Share January 19, 2009 Actually for OMO, can request for deferment as there's no incoming revenue during your absence. There are certain guidelines that allows u to do this but u have to check out www.ns.sg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need smuggle la. I think can apply for some kind of permit. My reservist mate brought his whole Mac laptop in and used it openly. He's a OMO freelance designer.

If your reservist unit is 'On the Bola' type, chances are rare especially if you have got outfield training They would at most give you some 'Time Off' during the days where training is not that essential one Edited January 19, 2009 by Mzrmazda3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
