RSAF - When will I receive aeromedical checkup results (Pilot)

Hi, I completed my aeromedical checkup back in mid of April this year, was wondering when I be notified of my aeromedical results and whether I will be eligible for the Interview.

For context I got the letter from rsaf inviting me to take part in the compass test back in november last year but I only signed up in march this year.

They contacted me to take the compass test end of march and 1 week later I got invited to take aeromedical checkup (I assumed I passed the compass test). Aeromedical checkup went pretty well, the last station the doctor went through my papers and circled the first letter “P” for my papers (not really sure what that means).

Oh ya and I noticed there were about 6 different vocations written next to my name including pilot, does this mean I'm eligible for all 6?

Anyone knows roughly around when will I be notified for my interview session and what happens after the interview? Heard from some friends that I'm supposed to do well in bmt and aim to go into ocs, only then I will be eligible for pilot vocation wondering if this is true.

I'm entering in July this year btw

what pes status for eczema

hi im 16(M) going to 17 and my eczema flares up quite easily and im scared ill go pes b, i had dreams to going scdf when i was younger, but now puberty hit and i constantly work out in the gym as it has air conditioning (i dont do activities that make me sweat as itll trigger my eczema), and eczema fucked my life up, i know i couldve been in pes b easily without my skin condition possibly pes a, but i read the stories here about eczema and ns and it sounded like hell, one of my friends told me to down pes as much as possible, idk what pes i will get, but i know if i ask for a referral from a dermatologist it can help a lot, my skin flares up easily btw, 10 mins in SHELTER when sg is at a bad weather like sunny and its itchy all over already. I really wish i had gone scdf but i know that i cmi cause my teachers told me cause of my skin condition, and how i shouldnt risk my health as im prone to getting sick (got covid 4 times btw), it really ruined my hopes for the future, i really wanted to save lives, but the point is im wondering what pes status do i get if my skin condition is as bad as this?

and btw my eczema is considered moderate to severe

"Satisfactory" grade in Transcript: Job Seeking

Very serious question. Will my ord transcript grade affect my job prospects in the future?

Not sure whether private companies, especially competitive international MNC roles will ask for my transcript, either during or after uni...

Would love to hear about y'all experience job seeking with a "satisfactory" transcript.

Unable to access Emart on ord

Hi, is this normal? I am unable to access Emart on ORD day. I have some credits left which I wanted to use to purchase some items and now it seems like I can't. Any way to resolve this or is it supposed to happen? They might expire tomorrow so this is a bit urgent.

Thank you

SCDF Reservist questions!

For context: I am PES C9L9, first time being called back for reservist after graduating from university.

I understand that for SAF, there are high-key and low-key call-ups, what about for SCDF? Will it just be 10 ICTs under Shelter?

Ex-NSFs/Ex-regulars joining uniform service overseas

Just finished watching Joshua Tjandra and Raynor Goh interviews from "YG from SG" youtube channel.

I'm wondering how do your guys feel about NSFs and regulars who finished their 2 yrs or regular term respectively and decided to go overseas to serve in a uniform service again ?

Does being an ASA affect your chances of citizenship?

Hello, am currently a PR serving NS. Had a pretty bad service injury from BMT and OOC'ed from there. I am going to be posted as an ASA. Will that affect my chances of getting citizenship if I don't serve in a combat vocation?

How to change vocation for SCS Professional Term

I was posted to Sungei Gedong Camp for my SCS Professional Term as part of the Armoured Specialist Cadet Course to become an Armour Infanteer. Due to the location and the course itself (JUST FROK THE FIRST TWO DAYS), I find it unsuitable for me for personal reasons. This is not due to personal grudges but purely due to personal circumstances. Are there are any ways I can move out of here? Perhaps back to Pasir Laba Camp for mainstream Infantry.

pes e disruption under lmds

some of my friends who are pes a/b inproed to their unit today and was told to chill for the next 2 weeks until us pes c/e soldiers were done with our course and would join them then. however they mentioned that only 5 would be joining instead of all 6 from my platoon since 1 is disrupting (which i assume is me since none of my other friends have intentions to disrupt). im also quite confused since i thought the med schs would collate the names of those who wish to disrupt and send it over in a list agter the deadline for confirmation of offer which has not passed yet, so no disruption order should have been processed yet.

could i check usually when the disruption for med sch usually occurs and would the saf not need to prep a unit for me to chill at while i wait for disruption anyways?

Why do RSAF NSFs all get 3SG?

Does anyone know the reason? If its to make up for the lack or risk pay or whatever, why not just qualify RSAF NSFs for it rather than giving the rank?
