just curious, will going to db affect anyone after they ord?
cos if im not wrong db is not reflected on your testimonial or anything right?
meaning that except saf, no one else will know that you've been to db right?
it will only stayed within SAF internally only...
so db will not affect my future progresses or university applications right?
ya... it will only stayed within SAF internally...
Technically, yes.
Most employers don't bother looking at your Certificate of Service, but the sharp ones will notice more than 2 years between your enlistment date and your ORD date.
Unless your future employers start asking questions based on your COS (why your service period is longer than usual, etc.)
Example, this also happens to PES C/E/F personnel where they are looking for a job where their prospective employers want to know why they are Admin Support Assistant/Storeman/etc because they know these vocations usually are for those with PES C and below, and usually for the employer's insurance reasons, etc. (So just because it is not printed on the COS doesn't mean employers do not know how to spot)
Again, that is provided they are so eagle eye to spot unusual stuff or meticulous enough to do a background check. As far as I know private sector usually are not so "neow" when come to this kind of thing.
