      Hi Notto! i am happy to see your post. i think you're probably the only one with such old kids like me. Most of the threads seems to be for parents with younger kids.. i feel so old! My first boy is going for NS next year. Can I know how was your son's NS experience? DId you prepare him for it? My boy is quite a soft spoken child, dont do much sports, so I am a little worried whether he can cope in NS.. thank you.. hope you dont mind sharing..

      hi, my son is also quite soft spoken.. but he didn't encounter much problems. i sent him for a prep program before he enlisted just to play safe. why don't you speak to your son and ask him how he feel? if he is worried, then maybe you need to prepare him more. if he is confident, then u can save $$$ 😄

        Hi Notto, i checked out that NS Formulas company you mentioned in your earlier post. Is it the same company that appeared in Straits Times a few days ago, in the article about the Tekong recruit? i thought the name looked really familiar. Is the psychologist the trainer for your son?? How is he like??

            Hi Mdm Lau! I talked to the trainer and bought his book, the one on how to become an officer. He is the one who gives comments in the Straits Times about recruits’ adjustment to BMT. The book is very good!! It gives alot of details about what to do in BMT and before BMT to become an officer. My son is reading the book now. I may still considering whether to send him for the course after his exams. If you decide to try it out, let me know how it goes??

              So many Singaporeans default every year on their NS obligations. I want to know:

              a. Why these persons come back to Singapore after 4-5 years and still do their NS? If the idea was to try to default, why come back and do NS.
              b. Why these guys are jaled after their NS time is over? Why not jail them first, and then send them to the btmc?
              c. Why guys are jaled and not their parents? Without the help of parents, the guys will not dare default.
              Just my thots
