NS...the time when boys become men and also the place of opportunity. Most, if not all my friends who were the first batch to go NS this yr have managed to get into SISPEC. Only 2 ppl I noe in JJ went to OCS...Weiqing Toh and Andy Yip. Either way, it's a gd advancement to get into OCS or SISPEC. The pay will be more and you'll have some form of authority. And you'll be exposed to all kinds of new things. Heard that those who're in SISPEC will be going for overseas training soon...so if that's the case, it would be some time till I see Nabil and Wy again. For starters, I wont be seeing them for at least 2 weeks when they resume their NS duty tomo, reporting to the Boon Lay camp instead of tekong . Ohh well. At least they're near =P And talking of advancement, I've a classmate who's already an officer after just 4 mths of NS...bcos he's in the Navy. The elite in the army, Navy and Airforce ppl are given a lot of priveleges. Too bad I cant get into either unit =/ It would be nice to command a pay of 1000++ every month while you're in NS and also able to travel around the world while serving the country. This friend of mine, for example, is going to Norway next month. So cool. Haha. The only downside is that his loved ones wont be seeing him for a few months and vice versa...a high price to pay for an easy future...anyway...gd luck to those who are starting their OCS/SISPEC life tomo =D...ciao
