NSman thinks it's funny to point rifle at himself
-
A STOMPer was shocked to come across this photo online, showing a serviceman pointing his rifle to his head.
"Nowadays, some army boys have no brain.
"How can he play with the rifle and post the photo on Facebook?
"No discipline." -

Take photo inside camp ==> very stupid.
Post photo inside camp on FB account ==> very, very stupid.
Post photo of fooling around inside camp on FB account ==> very, very, very stupid.
Post photo of fooling around inside camp by pointing a SAR-21 to your own head on FB account, and then kena pwned online ==> asking for an ass-kicking by your CSM.

Another SAF-related photo draws flak
A photograph of what seems to be an operationally-ready national serviceman pointing a SAR 21 rifle to his head is drawing huge flak online.
The picture, which was first posted on citizen-journalism website Stomp, has garnered over 27,000 views as of Thursday since it was posted on Tuesday.
Engineer Jason Lee, 29, told Yahoo! Singapore, "This is a very stupid thing to do. Why point a dangerous weapon at your own head? You never know when things might go wrong. And a second question is: why was a camera phone allowed in camp?"
Most netizens who have seen the photo also condemned the soldier's act.
Getrealz, a user on Stomp, said, "The image of SAF is finished yet again... so embarrassing especially when our neighbouring countries see this."
mlyleo_69 added, "This is an unbecoming behaviour of an army personnel irregardless of what position he is. This is unacceptable and amounts to disrespect of discipline."
Sin Boon Ann, a member of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Defence and Foreign Affairs, took the matter seriously.
"If it's meant to be a tongue-in-cheek thing, it's not funny," he told The New Paper.
"When you are a soldier in uniform and bearing arms you should behave in a certain demeanour," he said. "The rifle is meant for you to save lives, protect your fellow soldiers."
It is unclear whether the soldier in the picture is currently serving his national service, but the old-style camouflage pants suggests that he may be a reservist personnel.
"First it was the maid carrying the soldier's bag pack, and now this. The public must be wondering what is wrong with our soldiers these days," said 32 year-old civil servant Daryl Lim.
Recently, a photograph of a domestic worker carrying the fieldpack of a full-time national serviceman surfaced, causing many Singaporeans to react angrily.
The soldier, who was undergoing the Physical Training Preparatory phase prior to starting his Basic Military Training, has since stepped forward and admitted to his superiors that he was the one in the picture.
A spokesman from the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said, "He has been counselled and continues his training. The SAF has reminded all servicemen to be mindful of their conduct in public."
MINDEF has made it clear that it does not condone acts wherein soldiers behave inappropriately online or describe military activities on blogs or social networking sites.
Camera phones were banned in army camps in 2007 after photos of training activities appeared online.
A former army officer, who only wanted to be known as Rahman, told TNP, Today's generation of 'fast-food' soldiers is different from soldiers in the 80s and 90s.
"Now, it seems our soldiers, even if they know that some things are wrong, would do it any way to show that they dare. They simply do not respect the ranks and what the uniform stands for in the army."

Seriously, pointing a rifle at yourself is an exhausting exercise.
I doubt he can hold it that way for 20 mins.
-
i think its meant to say he has had it with spore.the salary.,..and the lousy place for low saklary he gets....mebbe not even worth it.
-
If you want to fool around in camp, then at least don't let yourself get caught.
Everyone knows this as the SAF 8th Core Value. Apparently this idiot doesn't.
I mean, what kind of dumbass posts evidence of his tomfoolery on Facebook? He might as well just email that photo to his RSM and save himself the trouble of getting pwned online.

its easy to smauggle a good unused round during range.
if the hero has the courage, do that, and back in the bunk chamber it and squeeze the ttrigger. will earm my admiration like that instead of only posing with no life rounds or even blanks.
