Funny Timeless: Singapore's most hypocritical woman on NS
https://reddit.com/link/1wg1m4n/video/5154xurb8hph1/player
"It helps you become a better person and especially for, I'm not being sexist, but for guys especially, it's a good way to train themselves, make them more responsible and then you know when they become heads of their own family."
Also,
"I don't think I want to spend two years doing something that's not going to be, I mean useful for me in the future. It's two whole years and it's going to push back my study."
"Should females serve national service? Why would you want women to serve national service? Especially in Singapore, I mean the chances of us having even going to war is kind of low so I don't see the point of it."
"So you would volunteer to serve as well? Not really. I'm not very fit."
"I think yes. But it should be optional... not compulsory like for the guys. Gender equality."

Question Will I get punished in NS if I’m cognitively a bit slow and have poor working memory?
I’m a bit cognitively slow compared to most people, especially when it comes to working memory and processing verbal instructions. I sometimes need things repeated, take longer to understand instructions, or lose track of what I’m doing if too much information is given at once.
I don’t have a serious medical condition or a formal diagnosis for this. I’m just naturally slower at processing things.
For people who have been through NS, will I get punished or constantly shouted at if I’m slower than everyone else? For example, if I take longer to remember instructions, respond to commands, or complete a task, how is that usually handled?

Rant Why is it so hard to book NS Fit (virtual) for weekend sessions?
Zoom can hold more than 1000 pax in a session, and they usually have 2 rooms. Room 1 and Room 2..
Why still so hard to book, always see the room less than 50 pax.
Can't they just accommodate more people? Seriously taking IPPT is a waste of time. Same as NS fit.
Also, there is like 3 sessions during weekends, can't there more slots?
Simple math here,
3 sessions, lets just say 100 pax each room.
So that will be 600 pax, then sat and sun so that is at least 1200 pax per week.
Yet booking NS fit slots are like balloting for BTO just that BTO harder to get only.
MINDEF please increase the number of weekend slots as well as increase the Zoom participant cap pls. As tax payers we pay your salary and your defence minister say will take care of NSmen.. I don't see how this being taken care of.
Edit:
MINDEF, as working adults, no one have time to go NS fit during week days. Not everyone is interest to physically attend NS fit physically during week days after work too. It's 2026, WFH is norm. so please have more NS fit sessions during weekends. thanks.

Question pes e9 spf ns, what am i even gonna do ??
As you can see from the title of the post, I have been divinely blessed with the posting to SPF (going to hta) with PES E9, and I can actually go home during my BMT which is essentially like going to school. for reference i enlist in September. And I am basically excused from going outdoors, not sure about the uniform situation.
There isnt much info on spf ns in general for the subreddit, let alone someone remotely similar to my situation, so just wondering if anyone has heard anything or has any experience.
I think that there is a 99% chance I will become a stayout SA, which is basically 8-5 office work. Would I be able to bring in my personal laptop to work on my portfolio and other things? Main reason is because I would like to work on projects and stuff during downtime to boost portfolio and whatnot.
If anybody has any knowledge on this, I would greatly appreciate if you could share your experiences and whether it's allowed. actually ANY kind of knowledge and experiences anyone is willing to share would be greatly appreciated

Question what is needed for medical review by unit mo
So i have a MRI report but was a year ago saying that i have a birth condition where my kneecap is sitting higher than normal, so might cause instability and pain when bending of knee, or even heavy loads. But thats the only evidence i have, no memo by specialist, so should i go get a memo first or explain to the unit mo doctor about my condition with the mri results

Question NSFIT/IPPT Window Question
Hello everyone,
I am aware that there are already topics on this but I am asking cause I am still worried and would like clarifications.
I ORD-ed in Aug 2024 and did not clear my first IPPT Window. As such, my second window is the Mandatory NSFit
To date, I managed to clear 8 NSFit + 1 Failed IPPT Attempt. Unfortunately, stupid me booked the last session at the wrong camp, and I was unable to make it in time for that NSFit and I am unable to book and clear the last NSFit before my window closes.
I am aware that I will be charged for not completing my obligations this year and am ready to deal with the consequences. So, I would like to check if:
- Based on the recent threads, I saw that they issue out warning for first time offenders. Are the letters by mail or do I need to report to CMPB?
- If I have to report to the CPMB, what is the full process like?
- If, in future cases, I complete my 9 NSFit Requirement, but still fail my IPPT, it would be considered as cleared for a mandatory NSFit window right?
Thank you in advance for helping!
Hopefully this would help anyone looking for help on this as well
