That's between him and the SAF. But you will be stuck in the middle coz you were driving. I was a mechanic during my NSF days and seen a few accidents. Its best to leave it to your MT officer but you will be needed as a witness. From what I know, drivers in the SAF will get discipline action, even if its not your fault. So be prepared lah....

hi,
I think the info for school and private are plenty, given by the other forum guys. I think the only thing that is left out is actually you. School or private, if your driving skills are not up to par, it will still be difficult. The school or private instructor can tell you so much stuff but on the actual test day, its all you.
As for my experience, I was with a private instructor for almost a year and failed the TP twice. Took a 2 year break then enrolled in school. Started February this year and got my license last July with 1 attempt.
There are a few variables at work: which private instructor or which school, where you take your TP and how good your driving skills are. If all the variables are positive, then getting your license ASAP is not a problem. Any one a negative, then may take a little longer.
Anyway, that is my two-cents worth. Good luck!

I hope this is relevant. But I am 18 this yr and enlisting next year.
I am several queries regarding life in NS.
I heard BMT is only 2 weeks now, and after that we are allowed to book out every day after 5pm? I've also heard from seniors, or see some people who recently enlisted into NS being quite slack/free after half a year (or maybe several months). They are able to take stuff like driving etc..
Basically I'm asking this because my parents has allowed me to start learning cello after my Alevels. Which means, I learn for one month and then enter NS. Will I still have ample time to practice in this case? do I get to book out to practice? I'm not learning for leisure and I hope to achieve competitiveness as soon as possible. Though I am not aiming to be a musician in future and never will be, I hope to achieve grade 5-6 and above in one year. And grade 8 by the 2nd year. I will need about 1 hour of practice daily at least.
Also, I am also one of the freak cases who is taking grade 8 piano after one year of study in the instrument. I am preparing for my gr8 right now, along with my diploma repertoire which I intend to take the year I ROD from NS (2 years from now) and in my first year, I am taking my grade 8 exam. (2nd half of the year). I require about 2 hours per day at least.
So mainly my questions are 1) is booking out at a consistent basis possible? Like say after 5-6 Pm everyday? And after when do I get to go home daily? 2) do leaves for exams normally get approved?
Assume that I have enough interest to get me going. Basically I have been practicing 4 hours on the piano even with workload from school and alevels. Will I be fine with the work load in NS?LOL!

Humanity, Background, Big Picture, and Shape
You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.
