There's been a similar thread to this before.
In my time of NS, there were 2 types of convicts there: SUS and
DETAINEE. SUS are those for there for serious crimes. We call them
Singapore Universal Soldiers cos they super fit. Know anyone who
can do 1000 pushups in one go? It took more than 40 minutes, but I
made one SUS do it before.
DETAINEE is there for minor crimes (acronym for Don't Enter The
Army If Not Enough Experience).
After I ORD, heard there was directive disallowing them to pump
themselves up anymore...but dunno whether the directive can be
implemented... motivation works in strange ways.
The highest ranking person i've seen sentenced to be was a major.
Anyone knows of any other higher ranking officer than a major to go
DB?
