bismarck SG other than flouting the enlistment act or whatever laws surrounding enlistment. Here I would like a healthy discussion on the serving of NS, more specifically the reason for it. I am not about to say I serve NS because the laws says so or because I have nothing to do. I just want to find a reason to push on and also I dont want to go in there without a sense of why am I doing this.
Fatum SG well, but what do you think ? .... it's up to you to make what you want of it out of your 2 years wearing green, you can make it as worthwhile or as worthless as you want it to be ... it all depends on your own mindset ... decide for yourself what you want it to be ... don't listen to others too much ... [/b]
KenPlus SG the only good thing abt ns i can think of is the chance to meet all kind of pp and get to know more gd friends loh.
iveco SG Purpose of NS? Most obvious reason is to protect the fat-ass MIW Papayas and their assets (GIC, Temasek Hldgs & such).
Shigemichi Take SG Juz like the army songs during route march: Training to be soldiers, to fight for our land.. Once in our life, 2 years of our time.. Have you ever wondered, why muz we serve... Cos we love our land, and we want it to be free, to be free, yah!
w88 SG Practicial reasons to serve NS: - Make yourself physically more fit -- free slimming for some - Enjoy the elements of nature - Chance to meet people from other walks of life - Treasure people/things you take for granted in civilian life
bismarck SG heard this from this forum(dunno which thread) the fact that we serve ns then those ppl outside can party.
