Few weeks ago I received this letter from MINDEF to report for a vocational assessment at Sembawang Naval Base on the 13th Feb 2009.
Didnt though much of it other then another round of test to gaugue your EQ, IQ, medical/physical, physco-metric level. Since I am residing in Yishun I assume that the army was kind enough to post me to the nearest base to do these test(which is sembawang)
last week I was in school for my FYP presentation
Apparently only a few of the guys got the letter. I was as clueless as them about what this letter was and why we were the few who got it.
Last night I was at Kian Kai’s BBQ and happen to tell my mates about this letter. Their response was with more gusto then me doing the chicken dance:
“HO SEI LIAO!”
“SONG BO!!”
“MATI LA !”
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
It seems like I’m most PROBABLY going for a assessment as a Naval Diver.
Those who have to report to Heddon Camp for their assesement are probably going to be enlisted as commando and those to Sembawang naval base assessed for the naval diving unit.
I did a search and it appears that they looked out for three things,
-PES A grade for medical check up
-Preferably Perfect eyesight(diver can’t wear specs)
-Is a human being
I fit the above criteria. Dope.
My swimming skill is probably on par with that of a floating log.
So long singapore….
