Let's talk about NS... good memories or nightmares?

[Toyo]

Anyone know any Specs who converted to Officer mid career? Have to go thru OCS, of course.

 

I remembered a OCS dropout join my coy and came under my charge. However he went back to retake his OCS, passed out and rejoin my coy as PC and I reported to him directly

[Toyo]

ok. Think I know which case already. If I am not wrong, the recruit's either mother or father pass away and request to go home but PC give him nasty remarks. This recruit is also those quiet quiet type.

Think he "can't think open" and shot his PC.

 

BTW, the dead PC was my brother's platoon mate during OCS training.

 

Yes, that was what I heard as well. Very sad case

[Toyo]

hi toyo, think I am is the same batch as you.

you are from Charlie platoon 9, bunk next to the "famous" three doors bunk?

 

the above incident have on 2nd or 3rd Sept 1993 right during night range.

the recruit is from Alpha company, tekong first PTP batch.

My PC was the pall bearer for the death PC

 

Yes, same batch. I was fr bravo platoon 7.

Towards end of our BMT one of my mate was beaten by E coy at the cookhouse. We went back to gather some guys and march to E coy for revenge but was caught by our CSM at the parade sq. my OC who is clearing his leave prior to his ROD came bk and gathered all of us at Charlie 3 dr bunk. (that's how we went in)

Mine probably no memory and boring as i'm consider a white horse, uncle happened to be 3 crabs when i was enlisted

I'm allow to book out everyday and no guard duty

I can even say that i had never even done BMT also

The day when the 3 tonner pick me up from mindef to the reporting camp, i was greeted by my uncle at the parade square

On the same enlisted day i book out liao

During high key I can also move around freely even when i was in taiwan, thailand, australia

Best of all rsm let me drive his car home on a daily basis since he dont use the car

Are you all Mcfers going to award me medal during MU

[Evillusion]

Yes, that was what I heard as well. Very sad case

Not nice to ask this...but how come pc reluctant to release the fella since it was a valid reason. My unit sent 2 fellas home from overseas training for the same reason. One was my company...both was when we were in saiyok..they went back on different days but the one from my company later claim that he was sennt to bangkok by helicopter...dont know true or not. But the other guy was my cousin ( he was from bravo same unit as me). Another evacuee was my nco...his appendix burst during ROC. Fella was sent home on SIA Business Class and the stewardess were attending to him like a wife attending her sick hubby....happy siak!

This thread only sees the Soldier and Navy, where are the Air Force, Police Constable and VC buddies ?

[Bystander50]

have to admit they are quite efficient on this...

 

i MR early this year (completed 10 ICTs), got my watch and MR cert in the ceremony, and the CPF topup was done in the following month

 

even though my official MR date is listed early next year (technically they can still call me up)

 

Initially I thought the $3000 would be lump sum into OA, on checking then discovered they break down into OA. SA and medisave.

 

 

[WTF]
