BrUtUs SG

thoreldan SG

ns first, so that after uni and straight away go look for job

ditzy SG

NS first, finish ur liability. Now only 2 year service, chop chop get it over. Very Happy

pqr SG

nowadays the university modules and system are getting heavier.

I finished my NS 1st then go to U.

If i had disrupted for 6 months, my U life maybe better cos less modules to take.

So, in that sense, it is good to go U 1st then NS.

NS duration is not likely to cut to less than 2 years, so... whether serve NS 1st or after U, the duration is the same.

Moxie SG

Deferment or disruption? You can defer NS if your studies won't be completed in time for the normal enlistment date, but I thought disruption for further studies isn't permitted until you've completed 2 years of service (old format)?

Do NS 1st. I myself was conscripted one year "later" (Pre-U center for A Levels) than my cohorts & I already felt then about being "overaged." The idea of doing BMT or guard duty at age 22 or older - when my peers have moved on with their civilian lives - man, that's depressing.

i would prefer to go uni first, after ns i could not study liao, maybe a case of shagged cannot think.

Ice79 SG

ns loh. then go uni, more mature, more gals will like Laughing

FireIce SG

u shd go NS

to learn how to be a man

LazerLordz SG

Same here.I was also from a Pre-U center.1983...Gee..Most of my friends have ORDed, save for those in La Salle and the Polys.When I enlisted, I was one month shy of my 20th birthday, and I'll ORD aged 22.If I had gone overseas for studies , I would have enlisted at the age of 24.And I'll definitely not be in OCS due to my PES status.So..a 24-25 year old Uni grad stuck as a Supply Asst, or any menial vocation, would really stink.

wuming78 SG

the only way u can go uni b4 serving is if u r a scholar.

AkiraDen SG

If you really have a choice, study first, you will get alot of brainwashing during NS. Good or bad, you will loose your ‘Studying Momentum’.

chunyong SG

NS 1st...why leh ? cos just think that when u are in the final yr, u will get job offers (provided ur grades are not very jialat)...so if u haven't serve NS, u must turn down ALL, i repeat, ALL and i repeat again ALL the offers. u think they will remember u or offer u a job again after 2 yrs ? i dun think so.

university syllabus (at least for NTU) keep changing for the past 3 yrs....so if u try to pit urself against other people who graduated 2 yrs after u, u will lose out, dats for sure. if u serve NS 1st, u can just go work right after u finish Uni, or if u disrupt, u only have to serve for a few weeks and then go to work, u could use the few weeks to find jobs (a short holiday) and such if u didn't have job offers prior to graduating. if u go Uni 1st then NS, u can't do all the above...just think.

UandMe SG

dun think can go uni first before NS… can?

ditzy SG

Can, get SGD$25,000 ready, or was it SGD$125,00? I think it was SGD$250,000. Bah, I can't remember. Very Happy

shutthehellup SG

go NS first. after NS, guys will usually learn self-discipline and many other traits that will prove useful to u when u start ur degree coz.. Smile

paperchicken SG

NS make you tougher and more mature. Some ppl who fool around during JC days change and work harder when they are in U. Rolling Eyes

chunyong SG

hmmm....i think i fall under ur category who fool ard in JC days... Confused
