like that say, might as well right from the start don't do -.-"talking about hungry lion, I feel hungry now :(aiyah.. young that time the parents will tell t...

right.. but having wasted 2 years of your life, shouldn't you then strive to make up for it.. won't it put you in a better frame of mind for school rather than worse off...

i do agree with the gf, marry thingy.. it sucks.. but i have also seen cases where everything works out perfectly... so it just depends on the indicidual and how you look at it and deal with it...

yah, I think everything can be summarise in that sentence above....

eagle SG

have u all noticed while we males are in NS. the girls are already completing 3/4 of their Uni studies...and that makes us lagging behind in every aspect of life....and furthermore, the intense brain drain NS causes just causes many men to lose interest in studies...

sentence in red is bullshit la

i can prove you wrong again... just like the other thread that you mentioned that NUS is rote learning and doesn't allow one to focus on the learning aspect.

u mean my typo.... damn i proved him rite.... ns really made me dumb...

The Ts has his point... Without the 2 years in NS, some ppl could have climbed a rung or 2 up the corporate ladder, the least the gahmen could do it to reimburse us with better wages to compensate 2 years of our prime.

Perhaps even the 2 years might be too long, If they can be efficient this can be shorten.

I get what the Ts is saying, Imagine u and ur GF study poly together, due to army , when u ORD she is already a graduate, she wants to start a family, you are just a student, not so good right, so wait wait wait till 30 b4 marriage lor, see if she can wait...

Lose interest in studies, I might agree, but thats only a few, some ppl go uni also will lose interest in study one...

I'm same age as my gf. And graduating at 25, I can say that I will be able to earn enough for marriage/start a family by age 28.

I_love_my_toilet SG

simple wat...

a coin has 2 sides

some disagree or agree

NS doesnt start this year, doesnt affect you only.

If u think its wasted then wasted lor...

nobody ensure that u r better off during working life

might still get the same sai

ultimately still have to serve, still have to work...

and if no ns by 26 would be sufficient? anyway well the red part is not entirely bullshit depending o the mental str of the person. + i guess the inactivity of the brain during the 2 years

Whether you want to keep it active or inactive during the 2 years is entirely up to you. For me, I taught tuition partly because I want the things to be fresh in my head.

If your mental strength isn't there in the first place, NS or not doesn't make a difference.

!!!!!U tink too much...

thats great... I for one cannot say the same about myself, having wasted my NS years playing DOTA every night >.<

Since you decided to avoid the part about 26 years of age i assume you agree to the that number and the fact that ns did delay it. it's up to you to keep it alive, but that doesn't mean that the time in ns is not a barrier. Just because the barrier/difficulty can be overcomed does not mean it doesn't exist. And no it makes a difference. certain circumstances in ns that would test mental strength may not be met otherwise.

redDUST SG

No,not in education standards, but you do get lag behind in life.

i don't get it.

what did you lag in? do one not learn and experience new things, even in ns? new friendship form, new horizon emerged, virginity lost (for the late starter), getting new perspective in life, etc.

is your life in a standstill?

i dun understan how you can lag behind in life just because your course of life takes an expected, different turn.

........and it has nothing to do with my 2.5 years lag.

FirePig SG

NS is actually a good break away from studies but 2 years is too long already.

eagle SG

if u want to think so

Poh Ah Pak SG

NS is actually a good break away from studies but 2 years is too long already.

NS is a good experience but 2 years is too long.

I suggest reform to 20 months or 18 months.

24 months is far too long.

hisoka SG

I won't bother explaining to someone who continues to insist on having the mindset of a loser.

If you want to think so won't bother explaining to some one with delusions of grandeur and great mindset

No actually i suffered 28mths. (2yrs 4mths)

BMT-enhanced batch only needs to serve 22mths now. Count in leaves and Offs, they only serve 20mths.

The problem is this.....

If NS was 'Shorten' to 18mths for Uni grads..... are Non Uni grads suppose to contuine to do 24mths of NS

If All S'porean Males are to do only 18mths of NS..... wouldn't the Next group of NS boys (10years from now) be demanding a reduce to 12mths... and the next to 6mths..... then to 3mths..... So when will it be enough

Poh Ah Pak SG

I think 18 months is the max minimum.

Not too long, not too short.

It would pass by quickly.

They won't feel the drag on their life.
