National serviceman needs maid to carry his backpack

[INNOVATE]

Defence accounts for the highest percentage of our expenditure ahead of education which is ranked no.2. Obviously, the reasons are self-explanatory.


Some may disregard NS as the most important contribution a man can render to his nation for reasons best known to themselves. To me, national service is not labelled ‘national’ for no reason. There’s just no higher calling than to serve NS, nothing can change my view on this point.


My ds will be called for enlistment next year after he finishes his jc education. He has recently indicated his ambition to vie for a PSC scholarship with SAF as his ultimate choice. Personally, i take pride in his ambition and am thankful for it. These are some of the reasons why i view SAF as a sacred instituition and not as just another instituition.

Daddy D, your suggestion makes me laugh. FYI, i am just an ordinary woman well-informed in education and financial matters. You are long enough here to observe it.

Markfch, you and me hold different view points with regard to defence matters.

I feel especially sad on the posting from jessicawongcs.

I do not see anything wrong with jessicawongcs's posts. Aren't we getting a bit uptight here?

INNOVATE:

Even if you do not appreciate the contributions from our servicemen/women, on this occassion, i have to educate you that is because of a strong SAF that we can have peace and security to bring up the next generation, our careers, homes and lifestyles. Without a reliable SAF, there's completely no future for Singapore.

Nobody said that NS is not impt. We all know that it is. But it doesn't mean that everyone here has to subscribe to ONLY your view to appreciate the impt of NS. We can choose to see the lighter side of things and STILL appreciate the impt of NS. No?

INNOVATE:

There's a limit to jokes and i see as breaching of ethics by taking portshots of service personnel in a sacred instituition in this instance.

Definitely there is a limit to jokes; but if you can be so offended by the mildness of what is being said here, then may I suggest that you refrain from posting in a public forum like this.

Yeah... take a chill pill... perhaps he's an army regular? :celebrate:[/quote]I wonder how robust our Army really is, if it can't even take pot-shots. I shudder to think how it would face real weapons!

If d NSman is injured, we shd empathize with his situation.

If he is simply spoilt, his arxx shd be kicked from where he is to Pasir Laba camp and then back again.
But we don't know his full circumstances.
Though a pix like dat does lend itself to ridicule at face value.

Wonder if he has bibs and pampers in dat backpack? :lol:
:rotflmao:

To each and everyone


It has been a real pleasure to learn and share with parents here on education and other matters for almost seven months.

As with all material things, there must be an end. On this occassion, i would like to conclude my journey with KiasuParents.com with this final posting. Some here may be happy to see this notice.

Wishing all parents here with joys in bringing up their loved ones.


Lord Bless!

Cool... scholar-to-be.... but haven't enlisted... so I'll refrain from comments that will burst his SAF bubble...
Surprised to see a woman with such passionate views on SAF
FYI, I didn't take the time to observe your posts in other threads.

d RSAF is arguably the best equipped n trained in SE Asia.
Ditto for some other SAF formations.
But we hv never been battle tested as a conventional force.
Some men do breakdown n cry in battle.
Nothing can prepare one for dis except going thro' it.
It is a very traumatic experience to see your mates blown up in bits n pieces.

An MO dat I served with told me dat to expose d medical staff to such sight,
they shoot pigs to do triage n it's not a pretty sight.

I was responding to Innovate's post about taking pot-shots at the SAF.

I think institutions that can't withstand some jibbing cannot see the big picture. SAF can fight its own battles.

For all that's worth, my family and I are patriots who fully support the work of our Army.

Not wise for us to draw any conclusion just on the basis of the photograph provided. Its best to let his superiors investigate and take appropriate action to prevent future recurrence..

Maybe he injured his back, leh? Cheh - if not maid carry, then Mummy or Daddy carry - can or not?
