'NS men'

Stooky SG

Some people, especially females, males who haven't done NS yet, and the older male folks of singapore, think that NS men means guys who are currently serving their 2 years of NS (aka NSFs..).. although NS men actually means ORD personnels; who r liable for reservist training.

lol... Laughing

Confused

Ito_^ SG

Gordonator SG

not only them, the media also sometimes refer NSFs as NSmen. Like Taufik last time, the papers/magazines always refer him as NSmen. Laughing

Dun worry,most ppl dunnoe unless they are NSF or NSmen ...
and for these poeple, since it doesn't concern them, they can't be bothered to know ...

Just like

SBS Transit is SBS Bus
SMRT Buses is TIBS Shocked
Mediacorp is TCS Shocked

...

and the chief editors don't seem to be critical of such errors..

Gwangetto SG

aiya.. just like how people mistaken a man in his suit and tie thinking he's a CEO where he's only a consultant. Laughing

Some of my peers who are still in the service refers to NSFs as "NS boys"... Hmm.. those who completed NSF, are known as "NS men"...

Now, old uncles like myself who have completed the NS liabilities, who are in the MINDEF Reserve (MR) are known as Mister d3rF, or "Mr. d3rF".

Hehehehe... Laughing

dragg SG

all because some smart alec came up with the idea of changing names just to show that they care about the reservists.

KenPlus SG
