I was from air force and I would generally rate my time in NS as rather interesting. Got to meet all sorts of ppl and made some very good friends along the way. As a NSF, all vocations are equally valued if u ask me. End of the day just do your job well and everyone goes home a happy person :-) Edited July 16, 2009 by Darkness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hub_n_mona 1st Gear July 17, 2009 Share July 17, 2009 can't really tell you stayed till near end of jan but must say air force personnel had a better life than our naval people who had to stay at sea..we flew sorties out as support and one role was to transport debris back to a huge hangar to recreate..I literally picked up an arm and a leg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence_oh Neutral Newbie July 17, 2009 Share July 17, 2009 One thing always strikes me in conversations about NS vocations. Namely, what a waste of intellectual firepower and social skills we have in the NSMan system. At 18/19 years old, you are assigned a vocation that you stick to for life. Some parameters in a computer decide that vocation, and whether you should be sent to section commander or officer course. Zoom forward 10 or 15 years after graduation. You have - People nominated for leadership positions at 19 perhaps just coming into their own, but at least in a position of influence in their units - People who have achieved personal success, in one way or another, reverting back to 19-year old roles and skill- (unskilled) levels Cases in point - A senior MD in a global financial institution - used to count his time as a driver till his last in-camp - A senior HF salesperson I know who was called back for his 1st reservist training at 38, given his golden handshake a year later. And because they knew it was his last year, didn't give him anything to do for two weeks How many successful entrepreneurs/artists/executives do we have out there being called annually to dig trenches for 2 weeks a year? I have rarely heard of NSMen programmes that try to utilise this brainpower in one way or another. The ultimate point I am making is - forget about despising NS vocations, which itself is a fruitless and futile blowing of steam over something you have no control over. If only someone could figure out a way to leverage all that wasted talent.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only someone could figure out a way to leverage all that wasted talent.... Well put. It's only after all NS, something we did not have a choice but to be put through. Vocations are very much randomly assigned if you ask me. I have seen the brightest minds being posted into vocations that require little use of whatever brain power one has and on the other hand, the shallowest of guys wayanging their way to being commissioned as officers. The over-zealous PTIs in here disgust me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
