  more responsible
  more able to handle stress
  more determined in doing things

  It would be better if we can learnt something in SAF that you can't learn in the civilian world.

  Yeah, it was a very memorable experience for me, especially when you feel the ball jarring shock wave even from behind the wall... As one of the PC puts it, "...gives you a satisfying orgasm..."

  actually u din learn how to geng in ns. everyone noes how to do it. ns jus made u aware tt u have it in u already.
  
  as my chemistry teacher once said, "all matter tends to their lowest energy state" - tt includes humans too! and hence the propensity to geng is innate in all of us.
