Gordonator SG

is it very serious? Question

wuming78 SG

i think you should ask NSC.

and in the end, other than the NSC specialist making it compulsory for you to get an excuse, you do have a choice whether to get such an excuse or not.

of course i am not telling you to forsake your complexion for the sake of applying camo cream. if it is genuinely serious, then ask for an excuse, and let NSC decide if the condition renders it necessary.

Ok.. thanks guys.. i’ll check wif NSC.. thanks alot. =)

Go to NSC and get Roaccutane. It treats acne very well. It's very expensive but if you're in NS, it's FREE!!

That's what I did in NS (must thank my doctor at NSC for the advise).

The whole treatment costs around S$2000

Just a word of caution, Roaccutane has been known to cause depression, so always always check with your medical practitioner before beginning the course of this treatment.

go do a google on this and you would prob find out more....

back to the main topic, if your acne problem (as described by you) is not very serious, there should be no cause for concern. Prolonged usage of camo cream i.e. going on EX for >10days may or may not increase your acne problem but nothing too serious or life threatening i guess.

gnoik SG

i tink camo stick extinct liao ba?
Even NCC cadets oso use camou cream liao...

sidestep1984 SG

camo stick to me seems more controllable…less creamy and wet…like some sorta dry feeling uh

wuming78 SG

problem with camo stick is its hard to apply! but if i dont remember wrongly it doesnt come off as easily as camo cream, so no need to "bu3 zhuang1" (replace makeup) all the time. Mr. Green

i hate it when we wake up in the morning and the first thing the sergeant says is... 'touch up your camo'

and we take out the lipsticks, and proceed to rub it over our already dirty faces.
