Dont think can do that. 

I think only those SAF scholarship regulars need to go back for uniform service during semester break.

I think if he does well, most likely will be given another 4 years until 2032, and after that if he still have capacity for medals, they likely will enlist him, go through BMT and post to a lobo unit or some HQ to fill up some ghost vocation so he can still train full time. [laugh][laugh][laugh]

but no wave no use. 

i think likely become swimming pool life guard or some clerk on paper. Training days are his service rest days and time off days, training rest days do NS service which is lobo mainly. 

SAF actually quite reasonable one, as long as you have a valid case and supports it with documents, most times they are open for discussion. Of course ask nicely and not suka suka shoot one open letter to...... [laugh][laugh][laugh]

Actually, his dad is swiss, and Switzerlands also has national service.

He may choose to change citizenship if its not handled well, and it will be a sad slap on the face of Singapore as a whole for talent retention.

JS somehow, had the rebellious streak and was negative about NS, so it didn't turn out that well

Its fair to say, if NS taken positively, likely will have meaningful takeaways for us Civilians, but youth is often wasted on the young, so many may not have the maturity take it that way.

Well said. She earned more respect being a fellow human than a medalist 

"I would like everyone to know that I have not been disqualified for cheating, but rather I have been disqualified for being human and for an instinct that comes to you when someone is falling and to help or support them,” Congost told Marca, the Spanish sports newspaper.
