I suppose each of us have different views on NS. My intake at BMT were mostly A-level students, and were very obedient. No one wanted to be singled out or do anything to "kena mark." First time a recruit was charged for rusty-rifle, kena RP, and wasn't allowed to go home on the weekend, everyone just didn't want to face the same fate and quickly conformed to the dictates of the instructors. On the physical part, well, it was tough, but how much can they push us? One or two faintings (real one, needle poke, still passed out), and they know they've reached the limit and stop there. Only one or two instructors were sadistic bastards, the rest are regular people, concerned with real issues of life (like their studies). All I can say to people going through NS now, is to do the best they can, make friends, and look towards passing out in good shape.
Cheers!

Bearing with needle poke is still better than continuous physical tekan lor.
