There is no single public PSI number that means "no NS".

MINDEF says SAF training continues as normal when PSI is 100 or below. When PSI exceeds 100, the SAF reduces physical and outdoor training according to its own PSI-Activity Guidelines. The actual response can therefore be an adjusted activity, lower intensity, an indoor move, or a cancellation—not an automatic day off.

For a booked NSman IPPT or NS FIT session, the public rule is more specific: MINDEF says a session will be conducted indoors or cancelled if PSI reaches hazardous levels, and a cancelled session will be notified by SMS.

This guide is unofficial. Live instructions from your unit, conducting body, commanders, trainers, medical staff, OneNS, and MINDEF override it.

Before ICT, a family can agree that “someone will handle the kids” without agreeing who is collecting them on Thursday. A useful childcare plan turns that vague promise into named people, confirmed times and a backup for the awkward day.

This is a household planning guide for an NSman with children. It does not determine leave eligibility, change a call-up or promise that a childcare problem will qualify for deferment.
