I dunno about this forum thingy, I was reading and this forum is typically NOT about NS pay. I mean, my guy who is is NS now earns a little amount of money and sometimes i felt a little annoyed as i have to treat him to movies..etc. Anyway, it's juz an opinion, i find NS pay is too little....
Your guy is a Citizen not a mercenary. ur guy is sacrificing his youth, probably his futures as well, living in hardship and pain and sadly, some died in service. WHY??
FOR PAY?? no..... He sacrificed so much... so that you and many other singaporeans can build their dream homes, own their dream cars, fell in love with their sweetheart and live a peaceful life...
so what if u treat him to a movie?? its only 7 dollars, 10 at the most... think about the sacrifice he made for you so that you can eat, sleep and dream in peace.
recognise your guy for what he truely is. A hero, A warrior, A defender, He suffered in camp to ensure your safety, security, peace and happiness.
He may be a chow recruit, he may be an officer, but it makes no difference, as long as he dons the uniform.... anytime... he may not come back alive... do not let the peace around you trick you into believing otherwise... cherish the moments you have with him and pray that our SAF continues to deter the enemy and keeps your guy coming home safe... else remember this guy of yours for what he is doing for u... though he may not look like arnold or rambo. but he still bravely stand his ground and shield you from the harsh reality of war.
