National Service

Speaking of National Service, 3 of my (now ex) colleagues, all part-timers, start their 2 years of enlistment tomorrow.

My Work Buddy is one, already resenting the loss of his so-cool hair to the army barber. WB will go into the training facility for BMT on Pulau Tekong. C'mon, WB, take your musical talents to the The SAF Music and Drama Company!

Another one, J, had his head shaved 2 weeks ago in anticipation. ("I have to take it! I can't let them take it!") But J goes into Naval Diving and will spend 9 months in BMT, as opposed to the usual 3. I'm proud of you, J. Kick ass when you can!

The third, E, is a softspoken, bespectacled, lanky guy. But what a great mind he has! Get to know him, and the lad is wise beyond his years. Good head on his shoulders, E has. Make it to Officer Cadet School, 'k? We need more people like you, E.


Hey you guys, good luck. And make us all proud. :)
