STOMPer TigerHong is stunned at how difficult the new army Standard Obstacle Course is. Not only are NSmen required to clear an extra obstacle, they are also required to do it two minutes faster.

TigerHong explains:

"Is the army's new obstacle course realistic?

"It was bad enough when we had to clear eleven obstacles, I can't imagine doing twelve at one go.

"Not only that, the poor recruits have to do it a whole two minutes faster... And while carrying all their gear and rifle as well. Imagine crawling through the tunnel while carrying your field pack... possible or not? What if the guy in front of you is obese and he gets stuck?

"Also, the stepping stones obstacle looks like an accident waiting to happen. It's almost like asking you to sprain your ankle while jumping carrying a heavy load.

"My only consolation is that I won't have to do it. I wonder how our kids will handle it?"

Remembered my NS days, we were often woke up by CO and had obstacle course for 20 rounds in the mid-night. Siok! For those who had insoma (unfortunately I did not know any one who had at that time), it was more effective than the sleeping pills.

I suppose sinkie are like tissue paper, Use and Throw Away (UATA).

Many of the government's recent policy are skewed towards those younger generation and forgetting those older ones. Some of my old friends in the uniform group had been complaining too.
