Yet another Privileged Minister Son does not complete NS

[Papsmearer]

This time, its Masagos' son Khalid. A recent post by the US Charge D Affairs on twitter showed 2nd Lt Khalid Masagos receiving his acceptance to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis.

However, Khalid only started his National Service in Feb 2018, in the 02/18 cohort.

From 4 SIR Bravo Company:
REC Masagos Khalid Bin Masagos Zulkifli with his Section Commander, 3SG Lee Zhe Yi

So, lets say he is part of the 02/18 cohort, which means he graduated from BMT in May 2018. He decided to sign on as a regular in the Navy after BMT, and this was after consultation with friends and relatives, and was accepted straight into OCS in the mids wing, which would mean he would be in SAFTI in May 2018. This would have him pass out from OCS in February 2019 as a brand new 2nd Lt. Now he is being send overseas to the US Naval Academy. Which means that his entire National Service life was only 3 months and not 2 years that every other peasant has to do. As far as I can discern, the 3 months in BMT is the only real NS he has put in. After that, as a sign on, his pay is far higher then NSmen, and also his other benefits are much better. What ever happened to finishing the rest of his 1 year and 9 months of NS, and then signing on as a regular? That is the way it is supposed to be. The National Service Enlistment act clearly states that all eligible males must perform National Service. In this case he clearly did not complete it. The Enlistment Act does not make any exception for job occupations. In other words, even if you are a lawyer, accountant, doctor, dentist, etc, u still have to do the whole NS. Yet, the SAF is illegal ignoring the constitution by exempting its sign on members from National Service completion. After all, a regular soldier is just like any other job occupation. If the others are not exempted, then soldiering should not be exempted either.

Stupid sinkies, wake up and smell the coffee.

Letting mudslimes enter the USA military is a recipe for disaster. At least singkieland got it right by barring mudslimes from sensitive positions. The worse thing about it is the cina have to do the heavy lifting in defence.

U.S. Soldier Kills 5 of His Comrades in Iraq
BAGHDAD — Five American service members were killed at a counseling center on an American military base in Baghdad on Monday, gunned down by a fellow soldier who was later taken into custody, military officials said.
The shooting took place at Camp Liberty, which is part of a sprawling complex of American military bases where thousands of soldiers are stationed and is near Baghdad International Airport.
The killings appear to be the single deadliest episode of soldier-on-soldier violence among American forces since the United States-led invasion six years ago.
“Anytime we lose one of our own, it affects us all,” Col. John Robinson, a United States military spokesman in Iraq, said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to the families and friends of all the service members involved in this terrible tragedy.”
The names of the soldiers have not yet been released pending notification of their relatives.
The center where the shootings occurred offered counseling services to soldiers seeking help. It was not immediately clear, however, why the shooter or the victims were at the center at the time, or whether some of the victims had been staff members.
About one in six soldiers returning from Iraq show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder or other emotional difficulties, according to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2004.
At a Pentagon news conference on Monday, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the shootings occurred “in a place where individuals were seeking help” for combat stress.
The violence, he said, was a tragic reminder of the need for greater “concern in terms of dealing with the stress” and also “speaks to the issue of multiple deployments” as well the need for finding ways of “increasing dwell time,” so that military personnel spend more months at home between deployments.
President Obama said in a statement that he was “shocked and deeply saddened to hear the news from Camp Victory this morning.” The Camp Victory base complex includes Camp Liberty.
“I will press to ensure that we fully understand what led to this tragedy, and that we are doing everything we can to ensure that our men and women in uniform are protected as they serve our country so capably and courageously in harm’s way,” he said.
Typically, soldiers not on duty are required to remove the ammunition from their weapons while at American military facilities in Iraq. It was not known why the shooter had a loaded weapon. The base is heavily fortified with blast walls and razor wire.
The killing of Americans by their fellow soldiers has been uncommon in Iraq, but not unheard of.
Most recently, in September 2008, an American soldier was arrested after the shooting deaths of two comrades at their patrol base near Iskandariya, about 25 miles south of Baghdad. The soldiers had been assigned to a unit based at Fort Stewart, Ga. The case is currently in military court.
In June 2005, two officers serving with the New York Army National Guard at a base near Tikrit died after an antipersonnel mine was placed next to a window, and a supply specialist was charged in the deaths. The supply specialist was acquitted in military court last year.

In April 2005, Sgt. Hasan Akbar, of the 101st Airborne Division, was sentenced to death for a grenade attack on fellow soldiers in March 2003 in Kuwait, at the beginning of the American-led war in Iraq.
Sergeant Akbar, who was the first American since the Vietnam era to be prosecuted on charges of murdering a fellow soldier in wartime, was convicted of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder after he threw grenades into tents and then opened fired on soldiers. He killed two officers and wounded 14 soldiers at Camp Pennsylvania.
The death toll from Monday’s shooting was the highest for American service members in a single attack since April 10, when a suicide truck bombing killed five near the police headquarters in the northern city of Mosul.
This month, two American soldiers died after being shot by a man wearing an Iraqi Army uniform at an Iraqi military training center south of Mosul.
In April, 18 American military personnel members were killed in Iraq — double the number in March and the highest since September 2008, when 25 were killed.
During the past two years, violence has dropped sharply in Iraq, but a recent rash of bombings has raised questions about security before the United States is scheduled to withdraw combat troops from Iraq’s cities by June 30.
Camp Liberty will not be among the bases closing June 30, however, because Iraqi officials have agreed to consider the Camp Victory base complex as outside Baghdad’s city limits, even though it actually straddles the line.
The Camp Victory base complex houses about 20,000 troops on four bases. It is where Mr. Obama gave a speech to American troops in April, and where an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush during a press conference in December.
The American military also announced on Monday that an unidentified United States soldier died on May 10 in Basra Province, in southern Iraq, after his vehicle was struck by an explosive device. No other details were given.

Also on Monday, Brig. Gen. Abdul Husain Muhsen al-Kadhumi, a high-ranking Iraqi police official in charge of traffic operations, was fatally shot while driving to work in Baghdad, said an Iraqi police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
Elisabeth Bumiller and Thom Shanker contributed reporting from Washington, and Sharon Otterman from New York.

Yup, this one is super duper white horse. When he found out BMT so easy for him, (compared with the rest of peasants), he thought he would sign on for the Navy. LOL. Those instructors at the Mids Wing in OCS must have been cursing like shit, because they cannot tekan and train the midshipmen like they would regularly like too. Got to handle the Masagos kid with gloves. Which means the rest of the Wing also got the same welfare.

This guy is the very top in the echelon of white horses. Not a single hair on his head would be allowed to be harmed. No Dave Lee or Aloysius Pang will happen to this guy. But wait till he goes to US Naval Academy. They don't fuck care who he father is. There is no white horse program there. See him cry like a little bitch when the real tekan happens by those senior cadets. Wonder if he will last thru Plebe Summer. LOL

No biggie. Even Somalian warlord Mohd aidid's son was in the US Marine Corp when Black Hawk Down happened. They were trying to kidnap his father
