Because NS life is different from civilian life before
enlistment, there are many adjustments you need to make.
A good way to cope is to get support from your buddy and fellow
recruits. They are going through the same tough training as you, so
talking to one another will help relieve some tension.
In most evenings during your leisure time, you’ll also have some
time to call your family or loved ones to talk. They can give you
emotional support during NS.
You can have a one-on-one interview sessions with your officer
to highlight any problems you may have. If you have a personal or
family problem that need to be addressed, do let the officer
know—he may be able to give you some advice or time off to settle
your problems.
You will also have access to Orientation Officers who may be
able to help you if the need arises.
