Call hotline is one thing but they also called their father or mother to complain to higher authorithies n also complained to SAFPU for ill treatment.

Well, a conscript army will always reflect the characteristics of the society it's men derive from. What we have is a generation of soldeirs who have not experienced first hand the struggles and hardships that plagued this nation through it's early years. Thus, that identity which bares the impetus for national defence has evolved from one which requires us to defend our nation, to one which is to "serve 2 years and be done with it" (most of you know the real phrase). I'm certain many realize this need for a impetus that is far greater than the self, in other words, to rejuvinate within the young the understanding of the role of national defence and to willingly paretake of it, at the expense of individualistic aspirations. This is no easy tasks given that it is individualism which drives our economic and societal (by definition) progress.

Ya they should be tekan for each and everyday of their army life to toughen them up. I thought I could only find softies in 7-Eleven but I can also get them in the army. Confused

The other day my clerk lost his pen. He kept cursing and swearing. Then he rummaged through all his drawers and other ppls' drawers. Then, he searched every nook and cranny. This went on for almost 0.5 hours.

Later, I asked him why he cannot use another pen. He replied 'cos that is his pen and he MUST use that pen, nobody else can use it.

How childish can things get?? Basically, he is just wasting time to find something as insignificant as a pen. And this guy was from a top JC (clue: something to do with the founder of S'pore).

LazerLordz SG

I think he's just screwed in the head. Laughing

was it some expensive pen like Lamy or Mont Blanc?

packjust SG

Ha ha! It was just a less than $2 pen. He's probably screwed up there...

I don't think its fair to stereotype and generalise.

I'm from the last batch to defer NS for overseas studies; I know three other guys here. All of us have been overseas so long (almost >half our lives), that NS seems like a nice change of pace - to be able to go home.

Note the emphasis on going "home".

I've got 2 years to go before I have to serve my time, but my buddy here who is going to go back in 4 weeks has begun training since January - he actually flew back in June just to take the physical fitness test!

I agree with what some of the other forumers have said that the true nature of men will not surface until the time for it calls. Society has changed alot. Used to be men who cry = "gu niang". Now, its alright for men to cry.

People grumbling and fussing about trivialities is just a reflection of the movement of time - only forward, never backward.

Maybe you should ask the question, "how good a leader am I" or "how good a soldier am I" when you're complaining about other people complaining. Rather than just sit back, come to sgforums and vent, maybe you should take a positive and proactive step in motivating your peers and men.

rmyfrm SG

Maybe just something to think about:

Leaders command.

Good leaders lead.

I reckon you're pretty darn good a leader if your men can talk shit like "don't want lah, sgt" and yet do it with haste - reflects that although their spirit is unwilling, they did it anyway - your command is not doubted despite their girly squeals. Good men do not follow good leaders. Good leaders have good men.

after 2 years of NS and out, i realised one thing!wat they taught me in NS, can put a good use outside(admin skills) and ppl is shocked! Laughing

hudax1 SG

What is the duty of LCP – SGT?

LazerLordz SG

I believe in internalising the motivation in my chappies too. I never had to give a direct order to anyone to do work, we work as a team and we know that we have a common set of interests.

rmyfrm SG

And that's a good thing Smile Reflects very well on you

Use the good old Russian AK-47,which is still being used today.
