18 year old is NOT young!

At 18, you can be going through the OCS course.
At 19, you can be a Commissioned Officer in the SAF taking care of the LIFE of many other soldiers.
So, how 18 can be young? -

Commissioned Officer at 19 are normal 2nd Lt or Lt, otherwise known as Junior Officer, often called young officers and affectionately called young chaps by their superiors.

Your reasoning is about physical strength, out of context. -

Anyway, Singapore's suffrage age is 21, so 18 is still considered young. Furthermore, its not only just about age. When I wrote 18 year old young girl, I used it to mean 18 + young, not 18 = young. A person who been tru a lot or just somehow mature faster can be matured at a younger age than an average person. The norm however is that when people are still schooling, other than tertiary education, are normally considered young.
Most People shoulder certain responsibility at young ages and the punishment met out are always balanced to this reponsibility. The punishment is also levelled against their peers of the same age group. So like in the case of Wee, she's only 18, normal ranting age, has responsibility for sure, but most 18 year old don't get to the step of having to shut down their own blog because of an entry. Of course the racism remarks one different lar because of political context. -

No. Don't underestimate the role of the SAF. I am not working in the Force, but I respect the role (as a whole FORCE) they perform.Originally posted by hisoka:overpaid carry-boots suckers -

Yea, its her dad we care about.Originally posted by charlize:Hey, enough about that elitist blogger lah. -
Actually not targeting at her, if you see most people view after they have "calm down".Originally posted by charlize:Hey, enough about that elitist blogger lah.
It seems to represent the MIW's view as MPs are "carefully selected", with honour, integrity etc to represent the people. This issue will have a heavy weighting on where I put my "X" on the ballot paper for the next election.
We need another "proper" explanation on this issue.
We can leave the 18 year old "young" girl aside. She has enough stick.
Come to think of it, many people will actually thank her. Isn't it? -
I heard the PM away on business trip that's why not much comment from him.Originally posted by ditzy:Yea, its her dad we care about.
Maybe when he comes back, there will be more things to report. -
i know the need but i don't respect the saf or most ofthe officersOriginally posted by rojak12:No. Don't underestimate the role of the SAF. I am not working in the Force, but I respect the role (as a whole FORCE) they perform.
and neither do i respect or think that the selection for ocs to be good not to mention how good th actually training inside ise, -
The last time i checked, 18 yr olds cannot watch porn (R21)Originally posted by rojak12:At 18, you can be going through the OCS course.

Tt is despite them being old nuff to carry rifles, GPMG, drive tanks, paratrooping, throw grenades, and killing enemies on the battlefield, they are still deemed to be mentally immature to watch R21 so........ -
In Germany, to be a commander (NCOs or Officer), the training is minimum 4 years. Ours is less than a year, so, cannot compare lah.Originally posted by hisoka:i know the need but i don't respect the saf or most ofthe officers

Every profession same, e.g., lawyer got good/bad, doctor got good/cockup, so naturally officers got good/bad too lah.
But if I were to go to war, I will go with the Ah Beng Officer. -
its just a legal guideline on paper.
some people 20 year old no better den a primary 6 kid. -
Tell me about it...Originally posted by Xtrider:The last time i checked, 18 yr olds cannot watch porn (R21)

Well, I sure do deem 18 year old as "not young". Porn is rated R21 probably because 18-year-old havent completed enough of their education to get a job and have kids, so...
Well, actually, I dunno. -
erm,from what i see,18 in singapore is young.
anyway,age doesn't guarantee experience and maturity. if so,people will stop making bad/selfish/narrowminded/dumb decisions once they grow up.what's more important is the maturity of the people as a whole. -

thats my point, most of the officers are just there cos of the A lvls. i've met alot of F up and cmi ones. how do you have respect for officers as a whole? its not like a minority i would put it as majority if anything.Originally posted by rojak12:In Germany, to be a commander (NCOs or Officer), the training is minimum 4 years.

that said there are pple i would say are at least respectable, not to say they are really that great which also makes for a problem of why they are officers and others are not.
and of course we have the idiots who are very onz, but these type of people tend to go to extremes too.
I don't expect the nsf to go through that long training but i expect the selection to be good. training i have no exact idea what they go through so i won't comment -
I agree. But not about the OCS part.Originally posted by rojak12:At 18, you can be going through the OCS course.
