What is the single most siong exp you've ever had in NS?
-
Mine is way back in 1990 - the safincos days.
after 4 days of trench digging (plus missions and all that other what-nots), we were forced to march back to pasir laba camp from ulu sembawang because our MTO cocked up and forgot to indent the tonners for us.
then by the time we got back to camp, we were late and behind schedule. the OC, w/o giving us a break, made us prepare for the 12km forced march. I can tell you, by the 4km, most of us were vommitting and having hallucinations. about 10 fellas passed out from the march and at least 2 guys got down graded after the whole thing (due to injuries carried forward from the trench digging exercise).
p.s. the trench digging was quite a tekkan. 1 platoon was assigned 1 jerry can per day/night. -
wa.. that's is si beh jialatz. i think lucky bo lang si

wat unit?? man or sgt?? -
I guessed many of you all dun agree on this but... these 'siong' training and such do made us mentally and physically stronger to face uncertain tasks ahead. It may even be helpful in the work as well. To a certain extent, mentally wise, we are up for it if things are not going our way in work or r/s wise.
Looking back at the NS days served and the training/excesises endured, it does served kind memories to me. I felt kinda good-feel to it cos I went thru the sh|t wif my mates together and it helped further that I'm from mono-intake.
Yeh, each of his own. -
Yeah, I went to the field engineer spec course at SOCE from feb 2000 - jun 2000. Alot of my compatriats got posted to 30SCE, but I was posted to Infantry by request... I rather walk with Infantry than managed all the stores in 30SCE!! hahahaa.... I hate stores.......
30SCE got 1 SSG call Staff Lim right? he is a real bastard... got posted to 30SCE after he finished his instructor tour with our batch. -
