VEES Early Enlistment Before 18
· 11 min read
Wanting to start NS early sounds simple until you realise it changes the order of everything else.
The Voluntary Early Enlistment Scheme, or VEES, is not just "ask CMPB to let me go in sooner". It is an official route for early enlistment before age 18, and it has eligibility, consent, medical-fitness, training-capacity, and study-planning consequences that should be checked before the form goes in.
This guide is unofficial. CMPB, LifeSG, MINDEF, OneNS, your notices, and written official instructions override anything here.
