Our Worth As NSmen

[Rayleigh]

what is our worth as NSmen? recently I received my Good Service Medal (5 years). However what saddened me was that, i received the medal through postage mailing. I was thinking what could have been happened that resulted in postage mailing? Is it because an NSF screwed up the job or was it the norm?

 

So do I conclude that our worth is only as good as postage mailed medal?

lets get this clear. national service is a duty, so dont ever think you should get any award or reward for doing it.

Being a duty doesn't mean those who served NS shouldn't be appreciated for their blood, sweat and tears shed during those years.

I do not need reward. At the very least, some level of appreciation. Wakaoz......sending you a medal through singpost. Come on, we are not junk.

My 5-years was told to draw it from the store during reservist.

 

My LSM was sent by post.

I rather forfeit that medal in exchange for no more NS obligations

 

Don't even know if anyone will buy if I put it on eBay

I received my LSM thru mail

[Watwheels]

When I got it that time it was during one of my ICT. I was called to the office the S1 clerk took one from a trash bag full of medals and hand it to me.

 

Got pride or not? You are lucky you got it thru mail. I got it from the trash bag.

[Ed2win2]

I dont remember where I keep it.
