I am officially into the army in 2 hours :'(
See yall........when I get my first book out 3 weekends later :(
Bye :)
-
:-X. Good luck, and stay safe!
-
Sad to see ya go. Stay safe! We can't wait to hear from ya.
-
Stay frosty out there soldier. Good luck! :thumb:
-
Good luck, friend. The military is what you make of it. I hope you enjoy your time and make some good friends there, too.
-
Good luck mate. Hope to see you around soon.
-
Don't forget to pry up keycaps on $30 million military computer terminals.
-
Shadovved my SG bro, stay safe and don't forget to drop in sometimes! <3
-
Take care, man! Hope to see you back soon. :)
-
Take care man!!! :p
-
This isn't goodbye! You'll still have access to the internet for God's sake!! LOL.
That said: best of luck. Keep an open mind. Commit to this change that you're making in your life. There's a lot of good to be had here: you won't just meet people from all different walks of life - you'll live with them for months & years maybe.
You won't just travel to some foreign country for a two week holiday: you'll go there to live for some time.
The armed forces certainly aren't for everyone but if you're curious then I say it's certainly worth a look.
If you haven't signed up for the GI Bill already do so as soon as you can: whatever it is that they take out of your pay these days is so worth it it's just silly. You can't buy an option like the GI Bill on the civilian side.
Best Wishes to the New Recruit!!
-
All the best - hope you can stay safe!
-
Safe travels. I hope the people you're with are good people.
-
Be safe Shadowmang! I'll be staying in touch.
-
Whoa what!? No way.. :0 Good luck sir.
-
Be safe! See you in a few weeks! :)
-
Break a leg. that is to say, be safe and giver **** man!! Cant wait to hear from you again. Never say goodbye. until next time!!
-
I hope he doesn't forget to have a vigorous happy whacking session. No privacy in the ranks for a man to really get down to business the way nature intended :llama:
Like firing one off before a date, but this is a month-long date.

I guess I passed the 1000 post line today or yesterday. I will take what is given to me star wise. I spend most of my GH time in off topic so I'm WELL over 1k posts haha. I feel like I've been here forever.
EDIT: Actually I'm at 1910 posts. Almost 50% of my time in off topic.
-
Take care and be safe! :cool:
-
good luck, stay safe man!
-
I can't guarantee your safety but I can guard your keyboards while you're gone ^^
Just kidding, good luck. We talk more in the future :D
-
Best of luck to you! Hope to hear from you soon ;D
-
Make sure you make us proud! See ya, bro!
-
Best of luck man, I have a friend in the UK army, sounds like he is having quite a good time and getting to see a lot of the world. Enjoy and stay safe!
-
We salute you!
-
hope you enjoy your next two years ;D :-*
-
I don't know you, but I wish you well!
-
:c
-
Take care of yourself out there
-
Good luck buddy, stay safe!

don't worry for Shadovved; he's not going to die. It's not Israel or South Korea. It's just the Singapore military. They let your maid carry your bags to camp... :p
-

lol. Okay. I'm glad to hear he's going to be safe. My advice was going to be to volunteer for the typing pool, so he won't be around the shooting and the improvised bombs. Actually this is still my advice: volunteer for the typing pool, and put your keyboard skillz to work for your country!
-
good luck and take care!
-
take care shadovved!

But if he was in South Korea, he could join a pro-StarCraft 2 team and continue using his keyboards!
-
take care good buddy :)
-
You know my feelings bro! Hopefully I can find you a new timepiece when you get home :-*
-
Take care, brother. :-*

The line starts v_here_v Sifo, but don't waste your time, I already tried. :p
Be safe Shadovved!

How's he going to sign up for the GI Bill in Singapore?

Good ol' mandatory military service

Good ol' mandatory military service
On one hand, being told you must give up two years of your life to do something you may not want to do really sucks.
On the other hand, as someone who enlisted in the military late (age 25), I wish I had entered at 18 and served for a couple years, for the experience. It probably would have given me better direction and focus for my life, had I done that.

I wish I could join the military, I really could need it, but my eyes prohibits me from joining. So sad. :(

How's he going to sign up for the GI Bill in Singapore?
or what is this foreign country he goes to from singapore?
or why his curiosity matters if the conscription is mandatory?..

Shadovved isn't rich enough to qualify for superior treatment in Singapore, simple as that. This isn't the Israeli military, where everyone is equal.

stay safe !
-
Good luck sir.
-
Good luck indeed! You seem like a great guy and I wish you the best!

Legal slavery, ****s cray yo

Salute!

go kick some commie ass

Hope it goes well!

I feel sorry for you.

eye surgery won't help? :(
i'm on the other end of the spectrum: was quite glad that my asthma won't let me join the military.

there better not be a ****ing draft or some **** like that in the USA, don't want to deal with war.

-
there better not be a ****ing draft or some **** like that in the USA, don't want to deal with war.
drafts are great for non-Americans though. The US is LESS likely to invade people when the children of its elites are on the front lines. I'm 100% for bringing back the draft in the USA, and 500% for making it compulsory that any politician who votes for a pro-war resolution MUST have his kids in the military, or have actually served in the military before.
-
Best of luck, Shadovved! See you around when you come back. :)
-
Hoffman, 60.1% chance that Shadovved will come back brainwashed, mindless and suffering from stockholm syndrome.
39.9% chance he'll really hate Singapore's electoral monarchy and despise the sheeple who vote in monarchs.
-
Thanks people for the well-wishes, army food really can be better :))
Well, I'm back. Army's not good, but at least I'm only gonna be at military training for another 2 weeks before hopping off to vocational training where it'll be more like lessons ;D
I'll have to go back in on Sunday evening........and then it's another 5 days to coming out again :'(
I'm becoming fearful of Sunday evenings/nights :eek:
-
You'll be fine dude. You will make some good friends, some times will suck major ****, but you will have some other awesome times.
Just don't speak out for your first two years to anyone who's been in longer than you and you will be fine.

Ha, nowadays is kuniang peng, all mollycoddled, a few weeks non-combat fit BMT already kia Sunday night.
lim peh last time have to eat combat ration from can, everytime macam makan ayam brand sardine, sardine and more sardine.
Go field camp, is sardine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After lim peh ORD, lim peh donch want eat sardine ever again. You chow lee-koot dare comprain some more.
But seriously, the worst thing about Singapore national service is not when you are in the army. It's when you are out of the army. Your job prospects go down, you have to waste time every year to train and do reservist while someone who just came to the country last year on social visit pass gets promoted over you. What you tahan in Army is not comparable with what you have to tahan later when you have to manage job, family, debts, stressful life all together.

Vocational training for 1 month, then the remaining 1 year 10 mths will be full service. Being the scum of the scummest at the army :rolleyes:

Hm. I'm more worried about missing clack/brobot/gasmask sales :p Or any good offers on the classifieds :))
A sign I'm too deep into the poison pool? :p

Send me all your money, and I will invest it wisely in clacks, they can only go up after all :))

You will survive. Try to keep positive about it and it will be better experience for you. I started my 4 years around people who complained all the time about it and it tainted all 4 years.

I don't think even the koreans serve 4 years, I'm gonna assume he enlisted. Pretty dumb to complain about things you volunteer for.

It wasnt him who was complaining, presumably the conscripts were.

Good luck!

For the love of god, get a trade.
I left last year with absolutely nothing to show for it. I was really lucky to get a job at all.

You say goodbye, and you're on here more than me! :p

One of my friends was trained in computer security by the military.
He makes a quite a bit of money now in the private sector.

I won't be here in another 6 hours or so :'( Until probably Friday night/Saturday morning will I access GH again. Worried about any imminent BroBot and CC sales that happen during weekdays :-X
ORD LO!

HUEHUE. I just got my salary and was looking to buy some 420 leaf caps and brobots, but don't have the time to manage a WTB thread, GH people get impatient quick ;D
Of course I will survive training, everyone before me has done it, so will everyone after me. But that doesn't mean I can't complain and whine a little :p
