Grit - The Making of a Naval Diver: Episode 5 [No Pain, No Gain]

The training is unforgiving.
There is little rest as the men perform set after set of sits ups, pulls ups, and leg raises. Diving Instructor Raj shifts training to a higher gear with a series of strengthening exercises that push the trainees to the limits of their physical and mental endurance. The men are also introduced to water survival training to boost their water confidence.

I'm wondering if someone from the SAF can answer this as I don't understand the NS system. I looked up a few of the trainees on LinkedIn and many have moved on to other careers. Some show that they spent about 2 years in the SAF as part of their National Service ("conscripts"?). I just don't understand why the SAF would put this much training and effort into non-career soldiers/sailors or compared to requiring a 4-5 year contract, which is common in other countries systems. This is no disrespect to the grueling training that these men are going through. It just seems like a crazy amount of resources and effort to put into soldiers/sailors who then don't really stay in the SAF. Or is the idea that a small proportion of these men then join the regular force?
