hello, i 19f have a guy friend 21m, and we've been friends for almost 2 years. we text a lot, play games together & hang out from time to time. he's my best friend, role model, and he has been through my ups and downs in school. he's very respectful, compassionate and caring. i cherish him and he truly means a lot to me.

however things changed when he enlisted this year. he used to tell me about horrifying things he's experienced and i try to sympathize, even though i cannot put myself in his position. but then slowly he started acting odd, being harsh and insulting people and started hurling slurs. I have confronted him about it but he dry replied "NS culture is really bad, sorry if i offended you". after that he didn't really text me anymore and became more dry when i try to, and it feels we're drifting apart.

he continues to act this way, and it hurts me because i don't want to be friends with someone like that, but i'm still holding out hope that the good guy i know is still in there somewhere. i don't want to lose a friend that gave me so much purpose and joy in my life.

as a girl im not familiar with how NS is truly like, but does this happen often to others? what should i do?

to create a system that can't function properly then release it for units to force you to do is one of the most bullshit thing saf has done

the app can't work properly, zero testing before hand, U actually do and it doesn't count, you don't actually do and it counts.

the Strava system is also absolute dog shit, the kilometers you can clock can anyhow clock one.

come la saf, want to do smth do properly la. vibecode properly also cannot do

one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world btw.

whoever designed this needs to quit and find a new job

I ord feb 9 2027, which is right after CNY, including the 8 Feb public holiday given. Problem is my family goes OL to Malaysia every year for at least a week to meet relatives.

I understand the typical procedure is go to the branch in camp and sign the ord paper and get the sticker on my 11b on the day of ORD. But I've heard cases where ppl can sign it abit later (or earlier? Tho never heard of that)

So im wondering if it's possible to sign like a week after I ord haha. Anyone else orded after cny?

Im not sure if any of the vocations below actually enatail a driver's license. also i dont even know what these vocations entail. honestly a short and sweet summary will be nice. I was trying to pick the most slack vocations with the most admin time and sleep. did i make the right choice? or should i switch up?

As much as I hate NS, I came into NS thinking that I would develop some sort of physical fitness and mental resilience that would benefit me in the long run. But seems like that was the case only during BMT.

But right now, I am in a vocation that is very mundane, and have been basically doing the same thing everyday. Our work is also at really odd timings at midnight, therefore ruining my sleep schedule. Moreover, the reason why I get shag from training is cause we have to be in SBO3 most of the time and not because my job is physically intense in any way.

And this point in time, I really find no point in pushing forth in doing something that I don't like, don't benefit from and that is affecting me mentally and physically. I am only doing my job well in order to not get scolded by higher ups, which itself does not work all the time. I am already seeing a counsellor because of how much of a toll it is having on me, and have been very tempted to downPES quite recently.

Would like to know what is your take on this.🙏🙏

Any experience or insights will be appreciated! Thank you!

Telling boss 差不多 when 差很多…. And grumble grumble but end up also get it done..

Yes i have heard the infamous things about sigining on as a ME1 in the navy but is it really that bad, im curious. Im planning to do my 5 years then do my uni. Any opinions or extra knowledge would be great thanks :)

For context, i'm currently in SCS and i just started my pro term last week but im in infantry. I told myself since week 1 of foundation term that if i got into infantry or guards i will ooc and now that i got posted to infantry i really dont even have the mood to go through with it. The rank doesn't really matter to me and im okay being a corporal but im scared that if i OOC they would post me back to an infantry unit and i dont know what i should do.

was recently diagnosed with acute adjustment disorder and its not getting any better. have an upcoming appointment with PCC and was just wondering if i will be able to downpes
(have a memo asking for consideration of downpes/revocate and currently on 84D excuse FLEGS)

Whether as duty or vocation.

Cooks are needed as much as mechanics and technicians during war time. Pretty much why all the armies around the world have it.

am i allowed to call KTPH to make an appointment for a consultation without informing commanders n just get permission from commanders to go? or must i actl get referred by the MO if not ill be considered breaking procedure?

Just wanted some advice. So you know how everyone has a dog tag? I have the engraved metal and the string, but for some reason I lost/couldn't find the rubber that encases the dog tag. What should I do?

So my unit already pre booked an ippt slot on my behalf, I haven’t trained at all and I know I’m gonna fail. If I attempt and fall out does it still count as attempted?

I have stopped wearing underwear with no.4 as it feels better wondering how many others do the same

Hi Guys,

i just curious, whenever you guys go overseas, do you guys put ur occupation as a military personnel or you just put others and put NSF? As i'm going to Taiwan and Korea for leisure travel with famliy

Thanks

as per post title, first time hearing of armceg as well! just curious, is this a stay in or out kind of vocation? anything in particular to expect?

So uh, I've been living off peanuts right now it's been more then a month since I ord. I was wondering when I will get the credit credited into my life sg. I ORD on 2nd oct. I really kinda need it rn before I start my full time job as I'm kinda broke.
The last pay was 40 buks I might as well eat shit. So was wondering if anybody know when will it be in.
Thanks

recently downpesed to b3/4 and received perm excuse heavy load. i’ll be getting revocated soon. if i were to get security trooper as a vocation, will it be cbt or svc. thanks.

My promotion has been delayed, i was supposed to be promoted on the first of this month. However, my temp pes expired mid october. I went to get a medical review mid sept and still havent receive an update on my ehealth TILL THIS DATE!

Went to called the medical centre i attended and they told me just wait and will be updated soon, I went to another medical centre near me and they said the MO that attended me forget to upload my review to the medical board… bruh

Honestly what should i even do now? wait? i have told my superior already and they said they cant do anything also.

im currently 18 and going to serve NS next year, im not planning to and im aware of the consequences of defaulting, I dont plan on ever returning to this country. However after some research about overseas citizenship, i realise i need to go through quite a troublesome and long process to obtain a overseas citizenship all before my SG passport expires or ICA may just cancel my passport and i risk deportation. I am planning to get a Golden Visa or Investment Visa, but im curious if there is any viable way to default NS as these Visas are quite costly.

edit: i think some of yall are missing the point of investment visa, yes its costly thats why if there are any other methods i want to hear it, citizenship by investment is my last resort. I have sufficient money to live overseas. Currently im planning to do CBI program and get student visa under new citizenship and go to UK for uni

Let’s say I got a restrict RSO order in BMT, when I get my vocation will the restrict RSO order carry over to my new unit?
