A Video for ALL NSF - How to Survive National Service ( NS Tips and Tricks in Army Singapore)

[@yijuntey]

time in ns actually flies by. I watched this video before enlisting in september 2021, I ended up in OCS and commissioned as a GBAD officer and now I ORD'ed and completed 1 year of uni already.

[@nxqqi3290]

Thank you for uploading this just before my enlistment. I had to seek advices, tips and tricks from my friends who are serving the NS. And they did help compose my anxiety. This video is no different. Hence, thank you once again.

[@nastidynasti6681]

Thanks for the kind comment! All the best in your NS journey!

[@Xulerminecraft]

Good pointers from the video! looking forward to NS!

[@hsthio685]

Good insights into what the boys think about NS.

[@stann3512]

thanks for this video, could you make another video of how they feel about signing on, getting scholarships from the army/police, and just how they feel about having a military career? Hope you can make this video !

[@nastidynasti6681]

Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely look into it

There is no valid justification for having male-only conscription. “Tradition” and “historical reasons”, “it’s always been like that”, are drivel; if we followed tradition and history and did as has always been done, women would have no voting rights, no abortion rights, no property rights, no rights at all. Difference in physical strength is also a false problem. Modern armies have more support roles than actual combat roles, and women can fulfill those as good as men. Israel has been drafting both sexes since 1948 and its army has been vastly more effective than those of backward countries whose politicians and military officers think that conscripting women would “weaken the army”. Women having to care about children is likewise drivel. Conscription age is 18-20, and Western women don’t have children at that age, the age of motherhood in Europe and North America varies between 25 and over 30, depending on the country. Women having to give birth to children and their death thus harming the survival of a country is, once again, drivel; when a war is over, polygamy is not made legal and surviving men do not suddenly start having children from multiple women. Some women have children with the surviving men, the others remain nubile and childless. Women having to work while the men are doing their military service is once more drivel, as only 18-20 year olds are affected by peacetime conscription, and whether it is only men or both men and women, the percentage of the overall population remains minimal, the rest of the population works and the economy works just fine. Once again, Israel has been drafting both sexes since its birth in 1948, and its more economically and socially thriving, and has been more military successful, than all of the countries where old farts keep repeating the same childish objections against female conscription while trying to sound tough and look like they are presenting “harsh truths”. This is the only “harsh truth”. There is no justification for having male-only conscription, and no country that still enforces it can dare to call itself civilized. Some of the few first-world countries that still had male-only conscription have recognized this and addressed the problem: in the last decade, Sweden and Norway extended conscription to women; the Netherlands, where conscription exists but is “suspended” for peacetime, have changed their draft laws so that in case conscription is reactivated, it will apply to both sexes. Other countries are discussing such, long overdue, changes. Singaporean women must do their duty towards the country. And not as caregivers or such, but as S-O-L-D-I-E-R-S. Like in Israel, like in Sweden, like in Norway. I will repeat it, the army isn’t made only of infantry and there are enough support roles they can fulfill despite being physically weaker. Singaporean men need to stand up for their rights. If the state keeps conscription for men only, refuse to enlist en masse. There is nothing they can do to you: the country cannot survive without you. Target clowns like this poor excuse of a defense minister and their wives, or journalists who write ridiculous articles defending male-only conscription; make their lives unliveable, make it impossible for them to work. If the excuse is that extending conscription to women would be costly for the state, or that “societal costs would outweigh the benefits”, start mass strikes and boycott, commit acts of sabotage against infrastructure, cripple the economy. Make it costlier for them to keep conscription only for men. This is a struggle for civilization, a problem as important as women’s suffrage was in the past. All means are justified, and reason is only on one side. There is no debate to be held.

Chao Keng is actually a bad mentality, the people who Chao keng typically sabo everyone. When you sabo others it make people lifes more difficult. One example, you and a few people excuse stay in or excuse guard duty, the others would have to take more.

[@nastidynasti6681]

Yep , everybody wants an easy life, but it shouldnt be at the compromise of others

[@kentang1528]

Not everyone is motivated like you to serve NS . I dont blame them for Chao Keng as not everyone is capable enough to handle the system . Dont put your blame on them if they sabo you , blame on the government for making this compulsory for wasting 2 years of your life like slaves and puppets.

[@Chinix]

I actually agree with the "escape from their reality". Everytime outside of camp got so much issue but once I enter camp damn my mind is just training and talking to my bunkmates is damn relaxing compared to outside lol. Also don't need to think of what to eat later because just go cookhouse and eat whatever they provide Sadly my medical issues are screwed if not I want to really serve the nation well and go SCS but now I got OOC'd from pes B1 BMT. Currently just waiting and praying I'm gonna be still in PES B spectrum of ns and put my best effort for the country. My friends were congratulating me for the OOC but I'm here like nope this isn't fun

How do we know how many recruits would be selected for OCS or SCS in a company level of 4 platoons?

[@nastidynasti6681]

From my personal experience, for enhanced leadership batch, about the top 10-15% goes to OCS, then the remaining top 20% ish will go to SCS. I dont think its a number that they HAVE to hit, but its a rough estimate. If everyone is incompetent i doubt they would be sent to command school

Do you have any advice for foreigners having to come back and do national service?

[@nastidynasti6681]

Hello! For foreigners, the process will be the exact same. However what you guys might more be concerned about is perhaps the idea of not belonging into the group of Singaporeans, either due to culture differences etc. I guess a good way is to just do ur best to not cause trouble for others and help people as much as you can. In the tough environment, everything is secondary to brotherhood and camaraderie and as long as you show that you are a solid lad, all will be good. Just be kind to yourself and give yourself some time 💪🏻

[@nastidynasti6681]

Hello! Glad to hear that you are interested in serving even though you haven't been living in Singapore for a long time! For foreigners, it will definitely be difficult with the language barrier and all. But as long as you are helpful towards the people around you, and do your part to not bring the section down, people will usually not look down on you. In that environment, people are too tired from training everyday to care so much about race and religion because what matters is that you guys are able to work together to accomplish what you need to do. There will be more instructions pumped down to you closer to your enlistment date, and you can find information on ns.sg if you need. Feel free to use google translate for the site if you need, and when you enter the service, do let the commanders know about your concerns with regards to the language barrier and they will do their best to help you. All the best bro!

Forgive me for asking but I just want to know? Does Covid 19/coronavirus change a few things in National Service like are there changes to the training regiment or the working regiment in the military? I'm asking this not to feel very comfortable in the Army grounds since not a lot of days in the military are comfortable but I've been hearing rumors about the changes of Training or Working due to the pandamic and I just want to confirm my suspicions before I enlist next month or two. If no changes have been made due to Covid 19, I wouldn't mind about doing the military training or work even if Covid19 has to interfere the system

[@nastidynasti6681]

I am not too sure in detail with regards to the exact measures, however you can expect your everyday activities (other than physical training and outfields) to be with masks. There will also be social distancing enforced too and other restraints as well. Trainings and the outfields should be the same also in terms of intensity and frequency bah, but maybe at different locations if too many. For your side, just make sure to bring enough masks, and follow your packing list accordingly and follow the rules that they will explain on the first day. But its quite sian lah, some of my friends in service now got mask tanlines and everything, which is damn ugly HAHAHAHAHA. All the best to you though, anything just ask bro
