Is it just SAF or Singaporeans?
Anyway, so why do ang moh soldiers read so much and not Singaporeans? We less educated?
i think there shouldnt be a need to dangle carrots for self improvement. yes, we cannot expect ppl who are not interested in this topic to read on them. i guess tts y this reading thing was not made compulsory. and ppl who receives pointer (and bothers to read or browse it) should at least haf some interest in military stuff in the first place. other than tt, its for the regulars who, o cos, would haf more motivation to increase their knowledge in the field.Originally posted by red1:Having its soldiers read broadly is good for the organization but this is never going to work if it doesn't reap the same benefits for the individual. For the NSF who is going to ORD in 2.5 years time, reading military books will be irrelevant compared to spending time with family, friends and girlfriend, having fun... is there a way to improve this?
Dangle some carrots?
