National Service in Singapore

[Tianmo]

mayb is emart vouchers, sian half.    

[Still2016]

I wondered if any of these has an real impact on the moral of our National Service men.

 

With our military assets being more and more sophisticated, more and more secret or classified information, would we see a professional army being form?

$$$ confirm got impact la. Don't give lame shit like Safra membership, useless medal/watch can already. 

 

Singapore will never abolish NS.... Otherwise how to keep the population in check? NS is where they kill the spirit of young men so they just follow like sheep.

well, operating complex assets will need deep training..

helo, fixed wing, missile FO. all regulars

repairs maybe outsourced..GLC contractors?

arty and tanks maybe still NSF.

elements of engineers maybe getting more complex.

navy always mix NSF and regular. they always short of men. potential to see more de-NSFing.

 

again the numbers and back bone.. the cannon fodder, that's still NSF.

how much to pay a rifleman? not going to change that for sure.

Very very very seldom.

 

Maybe when I run out of eggs/bread then I'll just pop by and buy that 1 item before heading home. Purchase not likely to hit $10 which I assume will be the lowest denomination for the coupon.

Some 18,000 soldiers to be trained in counter-terrorism yearly as SAF ramps up response to terror threat

 

 

 

SINGAPORE - The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is making a suite of changes to land, air and sea operations to better tackle the scourge of terrorism, which has risen in worrying intensity and proximity to Singapore.

 

Outlining the steps, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said some 18,000 soldiers, including full-time national servicemen (NSFs) and NSmen, will be trained yearly at the Island Defence Training Institute, which opens in end-July.

 

The training will cover areas such as scenario-based simulation and live-firing for homeland security operations; search-and-arrest procedures to be undertaken by SAF personnel; knowledge of legal powers and rights of private defence; and retractable truncheon drills.

 

If the need arises, selected NS units may also be deployed for homeland security operations during in-camp training (ICT), such as joint deterrence patrols with the Singapore Police Force island-wide and coastal surveillance operations.

Should have done this long ago lah. At least make the must-waste duration of NS a bit more worthwhile. Can also teach something of use (the law) to the ns guys.

 

Better than what they made me do: carry bridging parts build bridge, use the what jack-hammer thing to break the cement road, blow lots of holes in Area A/B, strip and replace the vehicle tracks, etc. etc.
