yes, where got so good horwiimum:
It is true, at least up to now. In fact I heard the extra 2 months for the rest(less fit) is very \"siong\", supposedly to bring them up to the mark.
no leh, I heard the 2 extra mth is quite manageable coz it's just fitness training and non-combat. In fact, where else can u get paid to become fitter? Usually u r the one paying the gym!!
include room and boarding some more on the resort island of Tekong
but 1 person don't appreciate, want to try swimming out of the island at night
he obviously did not attend Mas Selamat swimming school -

Perhaps he thought he saw Mat Selamat and went after him!

or the wild boars saw him and went after him. that's why so many wild boars ended up on our tiny island as reported in the papers recently. :rotflmao: -

so NS is officially 24 or 22 months? :?pinky:
I heard recently that if your son scores at least a silver in his JC2 NAPFA test, he enjoys 2 months off from NS, so instead of 24 months, he just need to serve 22 months. IS IT TRUE?

In Asia, we have North Korea and Kim Jong-il (now his son Kim Jong-eun taking reign).Worried ofcourse. I have 2.
Why don't Mindef reduce the period 2 yrs to 1.5 and eventually to 1 yr only? Taiwan recently reduced to 6 months from 1 year. When I talk to the recent NS guys, I found the whole 2 yrs can be conveniently repacked to 1 yr.
In the modern world, except some rogue countries, every country will think umpteen times before going to war. Then why Sg need to worry so much? In Asia, our country leaders are much responsible than those in middle east.
Honestly, Kim Jong-il isn't anywhere better and more responsible than Middle Eastern leaders. All Kim Jong-il wants is Henessy to fill up his personal drinking needs.
But yes, other than North Korea, the other Asian leaders are much more responsible. -
Guess Kuwait feels the same way… (Why worry so much… it is tai4 ping2 shi4 jie4)
until Iraq appear at their doorsteps… Oops… no, is appear "in the house"… somehow uninvited… -

No I still think cases like these are more the exception than the norm. I have uncles, bros, cousins, hubby n classmates who have gone thru NS and they completed their stint uneventually. If anything I find them more manly after NS. Hopefully the NS period can be further shortened to 1 yr instead of 2 when it’s my boys turn. I am ok with them doing their national service. I trust the sons of this country to defend and protect us more than anyone else.

i think there’s no need for NS to be 2 yrs. too long already!
