For a diehard (and most times ignorant) supporter of this govt,
you are talking some real nonsense.
If the govt did not reduce NS from 2.5 years to 2 years, you
would be saying that 2 year NS is out of the question.
Most of us complete our training within 1 year. The remaining
1.5 years were just lazing around, going for exercise, lazing
around, going for exercise. The remaining 1.5 years can be just
allocated to the reservist years.
I for one support a 1 year NS program and then perhaps a
slightly longer reservist cycle.
for people like you who lazed around in the army, I
sympathize with you. Looking at a bigger picture, I am sad
that we actually need to keep ppl like you in the army.
You wasted your time, the SAF wasted the resources feeding and
clothing you.
Singapore came a long way in the development of its
armed forces. They used to take almost 1 and a half years
to train a support arm officer, such as combat engineer, when
doctrine were being developed, equipment were lacking.
They used to build bailey bridge, with a company, then the
MGB, with a platoon, and now it is laguan with 3 or 4 men. They
used to need strong guy, then poly engineer, now can play computer
game ok liao.
the combined armed and specialist doctrine made certain
training redundant, and time is saved.
Time is still needed for men to form units after training to
carry out exercises to test the operational readiness. It took a
while to test if our combined armed doctrine works.
With reducing manpower, we have done well in maintaining the
strength of our SAF with technology upgrade and doctrinal
changes. I think our armed forces planners will continue to
improve.
We can reduce the total force readiness to just a few
people, just buy a nuclear bomb.
Nobody wants to be in the army, they know that, and army also
knows that there are many zho bo, jia liao bi in the army.
What did you contribute to the SAF in the 2
years? you can be proud that you passed your
IPPT.
Never see you in military nuts? you carried arms in the
army?
