Reason for serving NS?
-
other than flouting the enlistment act or whatever laws surrounding enlistment.
Here I would like a healthy discussion on the serving of NS, more specifically the reason for it.
I am not about to say I serve NS because the laws says so or because I have nothing to do. I just want to find a reason to push on and also I dont want to go in there without a sense of why am I doing this. -
to defend our land?

*scratching head...*

well, but what do you think ? ....
it's up to you to make what you want of it out of your 2 years wearing green, you can make it as worthwhile or as worthless as you want it to be ... it all depends on your own mindset ...
decide for yourself what you want it to be ... don't listen to others too much ... [/b] -
the only good thing abt ns i can think of is the chance to meet all kind of pp and get to know more gd friends loh.

becos "who tell me to be born in singapore as a guy"

Purpose of NS? Most obvious reason is to protect the fat-ass MIW Papayas and their assets (GIC, Temasek Hldgs & such).

Juz like the army songs during route march:
Training to be soldiers, to fight for our land..
Once in our life, 2 years of our time..
Have you ever wondered, why muz we serve...
Cos we love our land, and we want it to be free, to be free, yah!

Practicial reasons to serve NS:
- Make yourself physically more fit -- free slimming for some
- Enjoy the elements of nature
- Chance to meet people from other walks of life
- Treasure people/things you take for granted in civilian life -
