What is Your Vocation During National Service?

[LEGEND]

A step closer to Leongsam's identity :

NSF officer in SAFTI in charge of trainees (likely SAFINCO or OCS trainees).

In reservist he got posted to Tengah Airbase. Infantry officers posted to TAB will end up in FDS (Field Defence Squadron). They are the only 'green' in the airbase of blue. So chances are if not 100% confirm, leongsam was in TAB/FDS. Funny thing your mentioned Mr. Han from the officers' mess. He is confirmed chopped and signed from TAB Officers' mess. Perhaps he is also working in SAFTI's Officers' mess at a different period.

In TAB/FDS there are 6 reservist companies Alpha to Foxtrot. Your S3 who is a regular is none other than the long serving CPT Chang. 6 companies with 5 officers each (1 X OC, 1X 2IC, 3 X PCs), you are just 1 out of the 30 officers. I happened to know about 10 of them. Perhaps I have met you before during mobilisation.

He is a nice person. If he comes my constituency, i will give him my vote.

Charge a White Horse??... do you think I'm crazy. I was very good to all the white horses and bent over backwards to make sure they had a stress free time in the SAF.

I knew that investing time and effort making the white horses happy would yield a good return once I was back in civilian life.

Fuck You! :oIo:

NS has left an indelible mark on us Sinkie males. Let me explain.

When you stay up late at night, after midnight at around 1-2 am, suddenly the air changes. It gets cooler, the smell of the vegetation in your neighbourhood gets thicker and more noticeable.

And that's when you are instantly reminded of doing guard duty at night.

Nothing brings back my first day in NS more than the smell of shoe polish and spray on starch.

ya...occifers serve more than 13 years of cycle. i think until age 40 at least.

9 months SMC.. balance of 2.5 years in SAFTI.... then ROD. Did the whole 13 year reservist cycle so I had lots of time to serve my beloved nation.

i was from Paya Lebar Air Base FTS HQ storeman

 

[The_Hypocrite]

Boss Samantha should give herself a break n start talking sense instead of talking cock abt NS...she talk as if know so much...but one story differs from another.i belive.the closest he gets to NS is servicing those 302s outside commando camp...tat is her definition of going 'commando'.

please give him a break. he has done his duties and served his nation with glee. you should challenge my ns vocation: special elite recon volunteer involved in chicken expedition (service). a.k.a. cumpany cummander of comfort unit.

Hi buddy. Remember me. :p I'm sure you recall the great times we had.

Not to pijia your lobang. NSF 2nd or full Lta can charge people meh?Personally I am not too familiar with the general order, but if my memory didn't fail me you can only "recommend".

Esp for those holding the rank of cpl and above, if I am not wrong I was being informed a ex-chief clerk (he type charged letter one) only rank of Major/LTC and above can charge. You can at most recommend, whether your recommendation goes through and approved a not is another story.

How dare you blaspheme against our Lord, our Almighty Leongsam

 

[borom]

I used to hide behind the logs at the School of PT to sleep while doing prowler duty.
Best place to sleep was when doing Tower Guard at Ammo Dump-nobody ever disturb -even place reportedly haunted.

Sorry I digress-I wanted to be Research Scientist like one patrick tan.

I loon very long Liao but you burst the bubble. Last time, cpt, OC is JDO while major, CO is SDO. J for junior S for senior. But too old, cannot remember what does DO mean. I think D is for disciplinary.

Joking, was an Armour Mech in Sungei Gedong/Starlight Perm staff.

My love and respect for LKY meant that I put in a lot of effort to make sure the SAF as an organisation functioned efficiently.

You failed miserably then as the SAF is a totally inefficient and big money sucking behemoth.

No la JDOs can be lta even 2lt.
SDO at least major and above.
I think need to clarify that while JDO can charge soldiers but up to a limit....ie cannot courts martial/send to db etc.....that one only SDO got the power.

i love Peng Kang Hill....

 

[Baimi]

I got the most easy job in army,
I was clerk in SAFTI.
No guard duty, excuse master parade,
excuse stand-by bed, I stayed in E-Block.

That's what happened after I left. If I had stayed on, it would have made a world of difference.

Given your deep love and admiration for LKY, why are you not back in sinkapore to LKY in his twilight years?
