  The worst thing about doing nothing is that you do not know when it ends. Start doing something. I took that time to really learn driving, spend more time with frens, jamming with my band etc.....

  Please stop whining and get over it! Its time to be a man instead of a boy!
  There are countless people out there with much bigger problems but they don't whine so all the more you shouldn't! Find the proper solution to your problems, alcohol and whining certainly aren't good solutions.

  Please don't get so self defeating... You are truly going through a bad patch in your life, I have gone through some other bad patches and there is one thing I know, it will pass. Not many people like doing NS, and even less go through problems like you did now, so it's hard to imagine what you're going through. I'm truly feeling apologetic about your situation now, and I believe things will only get better, I mean what could be worst, you must be at your lowest point right now. I suggest that despite your problems, you should be brave and look on the bright side, the reason is that if you go to work or hang out with friends, and keep complaining and having an agitated temper easily, what happens is that you're going to make people run away. Instead, if you take things on a lighter side, your friends/colleagues may try to understand your situation. Trust me, nobody enjoys hanging out with grumpy uncle.

  Why aim at clerks? Dun you know storemens got better life than clerks? Clerks have to do more sai kang than others.
  
  So what if you all chiong in the field? Is it our fault that you got to chiong in the field and stay in/guard duty. Blame your bloody pes status as i blame mine ok
  
  To the TS,
  
  2 years of your life.. serve and forget.. somemore you are only a clerk and no Liabilities after. Get a new life. In a one and a half yr.. u will be free. MEanwhile chin up.. life gets better not worser.

  If i had to compare... Clerk much better.
  
  And fuck la Clerk Duties hard meh? how to screw up seriously?
  
  Just learn what you have to do and do your job. If you screw up at it, its only your fault that you didn't pay attention to your job.
  
  KNN la even if i made mistake also kena extra also do Duty Clerk also senang
  
  Would you rather do Guard Duty? Sentry? etc?

  I'm a 'mixture' too... What I wanna say is... Either service or combat you're in... It's more on who ya mix around with and how you handle the situations which would make your life more easy or difficult.. Enjoyable or plain sufferings...
  
  NS can be a fun and good experience when you're holding a POSITIVE MENTALITY, mix around with the RIGHT people and do the RIGHT things... Next time out in the society... You'll find that life is more or less the same... It's not just about NS alone (though I admit it can be sh|tty? <> )

  I had the same mentality as you. Until I realised how BOCHAP my MO and my commander back then were... Basically just politics and promotions filling up their mind... ALMOST DIED out in the field. Probably have to do a SEARCH to RECOVER my BODY in the thick vegetations too if I did.
  
  It's not that I'm afraid to die. But dying for such LOUSY PEOPLE is SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT....

  KNN......clerk still complain for phark? last time i was storeman.....everyday got hell.....however, i'm still very appreciative of the fact that i didn't go tekong(due to PES E) whatever......storeman is a lot more stressful than clerk, because got the annual stocktake and LRI checks.......got thousands of thousands of silly SAF property in the camp and must check, count and shift and carry them here and there, sweating like crazy and somemore, storeroom the whole day no air-con....
  
  i'm very contented with my lot because....
  
  -PES E(no right to complain, since this is God-Mode status in the army)
  -GE storeman(appreciated it, as other vocations like combatants and ammo storeman a lot more siong)
  -can book out everyday except on duties(also very happy, can book out sia......if i complain, then i should go to hell)
  
  ORD LOH!!!!!!!!

  I was a clerk too... from oct 2004 to Dec 2006..
  
  In army you get ups and downs... In the buziest of days you get paper work stress.... i mean really stressful!! But when i had nothing to do, I join my colledgues in playing DOTA!! *oops!!*
  
  Army sucks... but quite memorable la..
  
  I didnt had a good start too... the first 6 months i had trouble fitting into the unit.. and the old CO was pretty unreasonable.. but the worst was over.
  
  If I can go through this, so can you.
