Yeah.They do get overtime pay you know...
Anyway, you can enlist, then defer for studies abroad after having
served 1 year in NS.If you want to make the best out your NS life,
i.e to have a closely matched working environment as in the
commercial world, you would need to be a clerk.Only people with
medical conditions which prevent them from serving in combat
vocations can become service personnel.Do go for a medical checkup,
think of it this way, being a clerk , at least you can tell
yourself its one year of work experience gained.If you are unlucky
enough to end up in a combat vocation, take it as leadership or
life experience gained.Me personally, I was like you, wanting to
give up my citizenship to siam NS, but NS is not worthy of you
giving up your citizenship.There are things I've learnt, especially
interpersonal skills and handling diffcult people from all walks of
life.Serve and take the money, then do what you want with your life
after that.It's your own right.
