Really not so sure about this. But of course, like anyone else, I've heard most cases didn't work out.
Heard from an ex-officer, whom told me something quite direct and straightforward when he knew that I have a girlfriend.
"Young man, NS is a phase when your girlfriend leaves you."
How nice, and he said that when we first and last met. Just an acquaintance.
Whatever he said, do make sense. You are in camp for 5 days. You get to book out only on weekends. The first thing on your mind, is your bed. During meet-ups with your girlfriend, whatever you say, will be just about the army life. You know nothing much about her life out of Tekong. And you can't do a lot since your monthly intake is only around 350. Then conversations and relationship starts to get boring.
So efforts count a damn big part. Don't ever take things for granted. Try to fresh up the relationship in every way you can. At least, do your part.
I am entering this phase soon. And I mean well... take it as a challenge.
