Does Anyone actually missed their NS days?

Miss my unit days in the Navy. I was in Army BMT, and to be transfer over to the Navy after BMT, I guess I was lucky, because I know I would probably had struggled through had I continued to be in an Army unit. I kinda miss the sailing days especially to places like Pattaya and Kaohsiung. Plus, I learnt a lot from the NSmen that come back frm ICT, as they will relate their life experiences to me, and seldom do they try to “pull rank”, and treat everyone the same, even the officers.

i certainly missed my BMT days. lots of funny, crazy and memorable people. Mr. Green

although i don't kinda enjoy my unit days due to some black sheeps but overall i say it was a ok experience cos i make some very nice friends there. Very Happy

jianfish9 SG

The only days i missed during my NS were the days when I wasn't there.

Oh, miss ORD day also.

Otherwise, nothing else.

freedom4ever SG

i do missed those slacking days in the army. but when guard duty come to my mind, i think otherwise . Laughing

nismoS132 SG

i don’t hate the army, nor my experience, and i understand it’s importance. but i still feel it has been a waste of time in my life. and no, i don’t think it’s fun to sit around and chat about NS days.

I guess at the end of the day, it is all up to the individual. Love it, hate it, want to be on, want to switch off...........in the end, you will still need to serve your two years...unless of course you want to break your leg. So might as well go in, try to know people, perharps learn something you will never learn in civilian life, make friends, and ORD with fond memories of those days. Better sweet than bitter, the choice is yours and yours alone Cool

For me, surprisingly I became much more on-the-ball during reservist. Well I guess it is because I take it as a good break from work, and also that everyone needs to work fast in order to complete the tasks given.

It is quite an oxy-moron I agree. Smile

But well I do miss NS to a certain extent. Care-free days, with a bit of pocket money, roof over my head, and free uniform. As I was in the combat side I could not stay out, but that also means using much less money. That was the time that I led a worry-free life. Now it is so different.

Gedanken SG

Do I miss NS? No. I've gone on to bigger and better things that simply keep me too busy to miss it.

That said, it was a blast while it lasted, and I still do keep close contact with the lads. IMHO it's one of those things with a limited lifespan - fun for a couple of years, but then it's time to go do something else.
