the best vocation imo is MP (military police)
150 bucks combat allowance (now maybe more) and can act as though you are damn powerful. the best part is, you can stay out.
i repeat. pes a/b. combat allowance. stay out
if you like dogs maybe can play with the labradors at dog unit. really a useless dog can't do anything

Well....for me, I was in the RSN Band. Everyday play the guitar or the trumpet. Went overseas with the 'War ship'. Play music on the deck....suddenly it rains....hehehe....!! I only save my guitar. The rest is gament property....
The only 'siong' part is the NDP parade if we're involve. From Jan start practicing and we march poorly while playing. If they let us sit...we'll play well. Hehehe...!! The RSN Band was well known for that the last time. The proudest moment is to be selected as one of the Trumpeters for the fanfare in the NDP '88 which was held at the National Stadium. But due to limited Trumpeters selected, we can't be heard and they don't have any mics to support. So, we fake playing it. Hehehehe......!!! Practicing the fanfare for half a year and never got to play it in the real event.
Reservist, I was a sharp shooter. Wonder why they select me for that. Shoot anyhow lah....failed IPPT....go for RT...go overseas for work and all that stopped. Now back in Singapore ...no more reservist cause they found out that I'm already too old to join the army. Hehehe...!! What a relief.
So that's how my National Service story. Hehehe....!!
Saluti!

tetragrammaton - yeahhhhhh!!!!!!! i was SAF band B bro, or the airforce band was wat it was called back when u were there. i have soooo sooo many gd memories. 30 drummers to learn from and ask. just practiced drums everyday.
my best moment was the first time i put on tht number 1 and marched out on orchard rd for the changing of guards. family and friends were all there. aiyoooo so gd man, esp when u march out with "bandstand" captain yusri was our conductor. was he there then? and crazy staff tay and master mike taught me on tanglin camp. words cannot descirbe it when i first walked into tht lush greenery after finishing my scout course. words cannot describe.
my last parade was army open house, tht was a gd closing to a gd NS life. i was really really lucky to get into the band man. i owe someone something for the honour.
