NS HOME Awards




Have you heard of NS HOME Awards for National Servicemen?

NS HOME stands for N-ational S-ervice HO-using, M-edical and E-ducation.

And NS HOME Awards recognise Singaporean NSmen at each of three significant milestones during their NS journey.

The three milestones of a NSman's NS journey are:

1. Completion of full-time NS
2. Mid-point of ORNS Training Cycle
3. Completion of ORNS Training Cycle

At each of these 3 milestones, eligible NSmen will each receive $5,000.

NSmen who are commanders (ranks of Third Sergeant and above for SAF NSmen and Sergeant and above for HomeTeam NSmen) will receive $500 more; that is $5,500, at each milestone to recognise the heavier responsibilities they shoulder.

Servicemen who enlist on or after 1 Dec 2011 and complete their full-time NS (NSF) on or after 1 Dec 2013 will be eligible for the first milestone of the NS HOME Awards. NSmen who reach the mid-point of their Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS) training cycle or complete their ORNS training cycle on or after 1 Apr 2014 will be eligible for the awards.
