Hey guys, i'm just going to go straight into it. I dropped
out of sec 4 when i was 15 because i was bullied.My family and I
moved abroad after that and i went to an international school
to get my highschool diploma, halfway through CMBP/Mindef
told me i would have to return to SG to serve NS, i went back on
April 2014 for NS registration and Medical checkup.
Basically i'm stuck in Singapore alone till the enlistment and i
don't have a highschool diploma .I know i need a highschool diploma
to study abroad in a Uni after NS . I don't plan to stay or live in
SG , the only reason i'm here is to serve NS. I want to know
what's the fastest route for me to get out of SG and back to my
family. If anyone could take your time to read and reply i
would really appreciate it !
Honestly i feel lonely and lost , i just want to be with my family.
But i'm also thinking about my future , i have no highschool
diploma , i cannot enter any Uni/College without it . I plan
to either go back to finish highschool abroad or take O's on 2015
as i don't have enough money for it this year.
1: Are there any dangers of entering NS with Sec 3 being my
highest qualification?
2: Should i take O's after or before NS?
3: When is the earliest i can enlist? I'm 17 turning 18 on
Dec.
I apologize in advanced if this is confusing
You guys have no idea how thankful i am, thank you for
replying!
I have 2 passports , when i returned to SG for medical checkup.
They were suppose to arrest me at the airport, but because i didn't
use my SG passport they didn't know i was back till i went to the
police station to change my IC Address and they arrested me. Long
story short, fine for not applying for exit permit with Mindef. I
can easily go back right now with my other passport and never
return to SG, i think i'm thinking this way because i'm depressed
and i miss my family. I've never been depressed , this is the only
time. I feel like i'm wasting 2 years of my youth, i'm just so
lost.
I plan to serve NS as i'd want to travel safely in the future , but
the only thing i'm worried about is my future. I plan to study in
America/Canada after NS but i'll need my O's to do so. I don't know
who to ask for help , i called Mindef and they told me i could only
be granted deferment if i could enroll in the school. Problem is ,
school on starts on 2015 jan , i found a private school that starts
on Oct 2014 .
So my birthday is on Dec, which means i would probably go in on
March ? That means i'll be 20 when i'm out with no highschool
cert.. I'm really worried about this . Or should i just ask them if
i could defer for a year and take O's before i enter?
I've also asked Mindef about the 2month reduction , if i get a
gold/silver i'll only need to serve 1 year 10 months, i'm confident
in getting gold.
I don't think they'll allow a 20 year old to enter a highschool
abroad.
