Hey man! Everyone of us guys have to go through that crap. LPPL! Anyway, you are not alone. Most of us may have the same problem and believe me that this is...

Theballstopshere SG

Dude, let me put it simply. Life in NS is much better now, compared to our forefathers. Even what I went through in the 90s is nothing compared to what they did. You have your stress, so too many others. And there are tonnes and tonnes of young men who went through NS before you. Being a clerk may not be an enjoyable vocation, but so too are the infantry men, the armour guys, the engineers... Many combat soldiers have suffered injuries that have scarred them till now. Some have died. I have seen a few in my time. You heard of any clerks going through all these?

True, you may say that they lead a better life than you. But that is very subjective and something that i totally disagree. But the thing that is not subjective is that you guys lead a very pampered life now, and you are not the only one going through this. Such is life, there will never be a bed of roses waiting for you.

Try to make the most out of everything. True, I have suffered injuries which plagues me till now and I have had a lot of experiences - good and bad, in NS that I will carry with me for life, I have made life-long friends, but all in all, I would like to think that I have become a better and tougher person.

Think about it...

hmm...my guess is today's guys who go into NS have a lot to whine about. What can I say is there are a considerable number who are spoilt brats. "Momma, Pappa, i cannot take it !!.....these NS is giving me @#$%...nobody to do this n dat 4 mi...waaaah!!..I can't take it anymore!!...Waaaahh!!. I wanna die!!! Sad

This ppl should consider themselves very lucky. What, I noticed now, during the BMT in Tekong, there's buses to fetch them to n from Changi Base from Pasir Ris MRT. Can send complain to Mindef if perceived training is considered to hard on them some more...hahahah. what a joke!!

I served my NS in 1975-1977 as armour trooper. First day in the camp, whole platoon kena farked. Run here run there. Do this do that. What d fark. 2 bloody long years. Still i survived and appreciate what NS has moulded me to be ----- Face life with a stronger character.

So stop whining and be a kilat clerk!!! How do you expect to face the world if you cannot tahan being just a clerk in NS?? Evil or Very Mad

badboi_88 SG

if you find clerk buai tahan,you can really go suicide since you cant do that easy job

Devil1976 SG

Mmm...

Devil1976 SG

Cool people.. Don't you have any better advices than suicide...?

pierre^^ SG

in my opinion

combat more tough, as they have to do so much training, somemore is stay in. The oni consolation is higher pay

Clerical, to be honest maybe u have tons and tons of work to do, but then it is just office work, nothing to be compare with training, the oni consulation is usually stay out.

pierre^^ SG

but den i dun understand, it is usually ppl whom stay in tend to break up with their partners coz lack of time to go pei them

hw come this fellow stay out also got so mani problem

seancannot SG

This guy probably never serve in combat unit before ... if you are a commander / appointment holder it is both mental and physical stress when you are out in the field which is double/ triple the stress what our fren is having now .... try not sleeping/bathing for three days during exercise... probably he will really kill himself if he gets posted in a combat unit

Urroh SG

I was also a clerk.. U think i wanna be clerk ah? Spare a thoughts for others.
U think i dunwan to chiong like all of you all.

Why aim at clerks? Dun you know storemens got better life than clerks? Clerks have to do more sai kang than others.

So what if you all chiong in the field? Is it our fault that you got to chiong in the field and stay in/guard duty. Blame your bloody pes status as i blame mine ok Exclamation

To the TS,

2 years of your life.. serve and forget.. somemore you are only a clerk and no Liabilities after. Get a new life. In a one and a half yr.. u will be free. MEanwhile chin up.. life gets better not worser. Mr. Green

Urroh SG

Sorry hor.. i as a clerk we stay in as all my battalion. Where got so good luck stay out..

But can save money la.. Mr. Green

blu_sky SG

Well, that would be wat i call positive thinking, which the TS needs.

Importance of EQ.

I really dun understand why clerks must also complain about NS. All they do is sit at the desktop. OK maybe they get scolded by their superiors all the time, but combat vocations also receive that treatment, somemore under the hot sun!

For threadposter, wad u need is support and attention. Yes NS life sux, but dun forget many of us have gone through and passed it. I did have some moments during NS feeling down and lonely, but i told myself nt to tink about it as there is no pt in thinking. So i would suggest just do and get over wif it for 2 years. Stop thinking so negative all the time and life would b more pleasant. From my experience, those who keep harboring a negative POV of NS tend to be equally negative in the civilian world. This is a characteristic thrait in which most ppl will detest u of.

pls bear in mind u r not the only one. i had seem alot of jc/poly couples broken off once the guys went to ns, while the ladies will step into working societies.

generally the mindset will change n eventually break off. somehow i feel school-ling r/s are only play-play n should not treat it too seriously.

hope u can get over wif it as there will be better fish out there.

Theballstopshere SG

Cool it man. We are saying that cos the topic starter said that clerk is a tough vocation. We are just putting things in perspective. Nothing against a clerk. But if given a choice to choose, I will remain a combat soldier.

798 SG

be fair to all the clerks…their life can be as hell as those admin officers n chief clerks like to ‘arrow’ things for them, generally speaking their life can be mentally stress, lost of documents will get them in deep shit.

Ignatiaus SG

1206 form lost or rifle lost

Which is more mentally stress?

freakass SG

Many guys lost their gfs during NS... This is very common... And for your case, you're already god damn lucky because you're a clerk... If you're in a combat unit, it's much much worse...

1) You book out everyday. Combat soldiers book out once a week. You have much more personal time lor...

2) You get to call your gf once in a while when you have nothing to do. Combat soldiers are either busy training or out in the jungle most of the time...

3) A lot more others lah... Just wanna tell you that your case is not the worst... seriously...

allentyb SG

Enjoying the air con, taking endless tea break, grew so much weight in camp, what a life, CLERK FTW!!!!!!!!!!

allentyb SG

To all those dick out there who claim that clerk is the best posting in NS, A. WE DIDN’T FUCKING FAKE FOR PES E OR PES C just to get clerk position, tell that to CMPB, B, If u fucking screw up in your duties, either way, your OC or S1 will come after you, god knows how much extra, u will get…..
