they were PES C1 or C2, even PES Es ........
my new NS unit were made up of mostly old timers like us, some
of whom ORD'ed 6, 8, 10 years ago and have kept deferring and
deferring or never been called up since. Most showed up wearing old
style no. 4s
there were cook, clerk, divers, as well as former infantrymen,
guardsmen, tankees, storemen, signals and admin specs, technicians
etc. There were navy techs, airforce techs too, etc. There were
even commandos who deferred till their unit completed their cycles
and they are now revocated to infantrymen.
They cobble us together and call us a POI battalion and we'd be
in charge of guarding jurong island, changi airport etc etc .... I
hear they are forming up at least 3 such battalions to free up
other soldiers to populate the two new army divs, as well as to
keep up with the demands of post MSK security.
oh yea, i heard that they're freeing up 6 SIR from all this
guard duties so they're giving it all to nsmen..
wah fark man..knn, now i rather stay in the squadron list till
im 40..
so what? your reservist is just doing guard duties at those
places ah?
