Let's Talk about National Service

[sushi88]

NS turned boys into men in an obvious way.
Physically scrawny nerdy boys go through NS and emerge as muscular and streetwise men.

As in Police Force, SCDF, Navy, Air Force, SAF ?

Or does SAF comprises navy, Air Force and the on land ones?

Pardon me

It's a nightmare to me that my son has to go NS =P

It would be a nightmare when your homeland is invaded and there is no one to defend it.

If the army can turn my son into a streetwise young man safely, I am all for it. Much as I will miss him (like crazy), I still have to let go.

Pardon me

SAF = the Singapore Army,
the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and
the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN)

Hi Jennifer, you can go youtube and search for every Singaporean son. There are many episodes on NS Life.

Thanks for starting this thread. Our boys are around the same age. I need to find out more on NS too.

How realistic or close is the show Ah Boy to Man to NS life now?

[buds]

In my opinion the scenes are real just that the routine is daily and more rigorous as compared to a two hour movie. There are daily PT, drills, ocassional shooting practice, the route march, the water parade, the POP that families can attend are all real. I haven't watched ah boys to men 3. Just remembered that now. The first two were good.

I had two brothers, hubs and a Daddie who have gone through national service. Male cousins too.
