NSmen, you won't need to notify the Government if you travel overseas for less than 6 months

SINGAPORE: Come 2023, National Service personnel will be able to engage all related services – from the pre-enlistment medical to the Individual Physical Proficiency Test – at a new one-stop hub the size of nine football fields.

“The new NS Hub will bring greater convenience to the NS community by acting as a one-stop centre for all NS-related services,” the Ministry of Defence said in a release on Friday.Beyond that, Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How announced several other measures to improve the NS experience, aimed at showing support and encouragement for national servicemen.

Currently, NSmen travelling for more than 14 days but less than six months have to notify the agencies of their overseas travel and contact information. Previously, NSmen had to complete the full 10-year training cycle before converting to a role that allows them to use their civilian expertise. Currently, NSFs can use their credits to subscribe to about 200 online courses offered by local universities and polytechnics. These credits are valid up to one year after NSFs complete full-time NS.
