NS FIT Before Exit Permit: Overseas Study
· 11 min read

The wrong move is treating one clock as if it automatically cancels the others.
This guide is unofficial and focuses on MINDEF/SAF NSmen public guidance. OneNS, your unit, MINDEF replies, Home Team instructions where applicable, and official written approvals override anything here.
