Is it worth giving national service your very best?
QuestionI'm personally someone with several hobbies ranging from combat sports to learning languages and even have my own online business. I want to continue pursuing my hobbies as during the next two years as I think it gives me meaning and I wouldn't be able to really pursue it if I truly gave NS my best and tried to attain a spot in OCS/SCS.
However, my family is set on me going full try hard in NS as they are attached to the prestige of being an officer/sergeant and say it really does matter in shaping you as a person.
Though I am physically fit as I grew up playing rugby and have always held leadership roles, I really don't understand how important holding a 'respectable' rank is as I'm the first person in my family to serve NS. Therefore, is going to OCS/SCS really worth it and will it truly benefit me long term? please be as brutally honest as possible.
