i start this thread after reading Ramseth's comments that mata always get end of stick while NS army get perceived to be more siong.
So lets compare shall we?
assumption: physically fit young man
- NS Army
= SOC - with SBO and SAR21
= carry full pack and 42km road march
= field camp
= train at ulu P Tekong
= aircon coach to go ranch
= after post out, go unit, chance of chio bu slim
= stay-in unit means 1 week go home once
= got chance to go R&R when overseas training
-NS mata
=SOC -
=no full pack, road march? Sorry, I army dunno abt mata -feel free to add
=field camp?
=train at Home Academy - new facilities?
=ranch in house
=after pass out go to station got chance to meet civilians / chio bus
=usually 9-5
=overseas training not so much
===
feel free to add.
i know its not exactly apple to apple comparison. but it does look that NS Army is more siong.
