Ma'am Jin Hui used to be my BSO around 2020-2021, she's always very caring and motivates troopers who seem to lag behind during trainings, she's also a very good leader. I'm glad I see some people I know and respect from my NS days famous :)
She’s a role model for women! I already like her as a person by listening to this podcast ❤ she’s so strong and yet caring, if I have a daughter I hope she’ll be like her~
Since SAF was modeled after IDF originally I think this is a brilliant idea I’m sure our women would benefit and would not mind just a short stint 3-6 months
There's no good argument (especially from equality standpoint) that women shouldn't be conscripted. It's really only an issue that they don't want to do it and the ruling party forcing them will cost alot of votes lol. (no specific political party at fault but any ruling party would face the same issue)
Singapore’s high rank structures are based solely on educational levels. Not Combat experience and exposures. You’ll be surprised that some of the most decorated and respected soldiers in the US Military are actually corporals and sergeants whom had seen front line actions and life and death situations first hand. Not some officers whom simply has a degree or a so called “scholar”..
@rom8949 I am from Singapore, served 2 years 4mths of conscription and I would not like to be activated for anything. We gained independence without having to fight for it and this I am glad. War will only cause economic losses and lives. Singapore's strength is her economy and I hope it stays that way.
personally you would find that the warrant officers in the army (those who started off as lowly sergeants) have much better communication and leadership skills, because they needed to demonstrate these to rise up the ranks amongst the many. officers dont have these same opportunities or "hardships" to develop the same soft skills, as most go through the officer course from the start based on school results. so if you want a different more grounded perspective, speak to a warrant officer (someone who has proven ability over the years). officers, with the greatest respect, are usually sheltered from the dark side of the military - such as army rigidity and toxic organisational culture (they are the creators of and not the ones being subjected to military culture).
NS really brings us men together... and in fact, it transcends generations... I had the privilege of chancing upon a Gen 1 army combat engineer officer.. u know back the where SG didn't really have the best of equipment? Yea.. those days.. We bonded cos we were combat engineers and went through the same kind of training.. handling explosives, learning how to lay mines, how to construct a base of ops for vehicles, etc... It's really heart warming and fun
I have served my time and am on my 8th reservist cycle.honestly the army didn’t change much, many will attest to it. Did you even serve? Nobody said every commander is an asshole, neither is it a bed of roses. I wanted to illustrate that to base your career in the arm forces, u need to have certain liking for it and the organisation is certainly NOT accommodating.
There are not many female regular soldiers in armour units esp for armout operator. Think I roughly know who Azura's friend is hehe. (appeared in the news before)
28:17 But Germaine, you said earlier that you don't like being in the sun, so how to sign on and forge a career in the SAF? Lol...... By the way, I also don't like being in the sun these days. Way too hot.....my migraine gets triggered too often nowadays. I remember during my last few reservist trainings, my head was permanently wet during field camps...lol. Have to keep it cool to minimise the chances of triggering my migraine.
I am a guy but because of my PES status (PES E), I didn't go through BMT in Tekong. I have ORDed for nearly 9 years already and wasn't called up for a single reservist. My BMT was a 1-month stay-out at Kranji Camp III, then I went to MINDEF HQ for my unit life. I didn't even need to wear uniform once I entered my unit, I could wear civilian clothes. Therefore, my NS life felt like a 2-year internship. So when guys talk about their NS life, I can't relate at all because I didn't go through the typical experience. HAHAHA.
Signals is a much more reasonable vocation for women, since infantry is so reliant on human strength. Whereas Signals is a much more technical vocation
Many thanks to the police for going after many opposition-related members for criminal offences - pritam, faisal, charles yeo, lim tean, hsien yang, etc. 👍👍
Haha listening to them talking about having more females in the army without considering the impact. Logistically etc. yes females have valuable impact in some vocations however thinking about the studies of performance of mixed units vs purely males there’s no question having females in unit produces a decrease in performance.
