I personally find it funny that though the minimum age to enter
the VSC is 18, males have to complete NS obligations before being
allowed to join. I am assuming this is to allow the males to
develop themselves physically before taking up duties as a VSC
officer.
Wouldn't it be funny to restrict an 18-yo male from joining the VSC
just because he hasn't served NS but allow a female, without any
need to fulfill NS obligations, to join the VSC at 18? It sounds as
if they are implying 18-yo males cannot do the job as a VSC officer
as well an 18-yo female.
Maybe they should extend the female age limit to 21 instead. I am
not trying to sound sexist here but it is definitely a fact that
most females at 18 aren't really that physically sound yet. Very
few of them look as if they could actually take on a suspect in
unarmed combat, regardless of gender.
