Dont' forget we Nsman used to be NSF too,we also kena the same treatment before leh and still ORD in one piece.
Durning my nsf days, it 2 and a half yrs instead of 2 yrs.
No such thing as 5 day week,it 5 and a half day week,even in unit.
Furthermore in my current unit,as it is a totally Nsman Unit(very few Regulars mostly all NSman) i don't see we Nsman have any special treatment durning training, we still have to do all the saikangs,training and out pro together.
I think you guys still serving your Ns should appreciate it comparing to those whom have serve eariler.
I also think there's no point comparing, it'll never be ending to all these. I think NSF today life are better compared to the our times in the 90s and our lives surely are better compared to the 80s and so on....anyway your time will come to be a NSMan. Also I think why most NSMen are been treated better partly also because some of the NSMen are as old as the S3 or CO or maybe even older, so usually the regulars will respect them in one way or another. But I think the one main thing is you don't know what these NSMen do outside, what if they are some big shot lawyer or some company CEOs. If tekan them too much they can hire lawyers to sue Mindef, so if they come in peace usually the regulars will let them go in peace.
