Many may not be aware that behind these "gung ho" (overzealous) impressive images displayed, are actually exhibited over years of intense trainings, challenges and exigent tasks our servicemen have endured.



"When the going gets tough, the Tough gets going" 

The harsh times they go through isn't just physically exhausting, but sometimes results in emotional breakdowns we don't see. Time away from loved ones can be so painfully missed, yet for the ever-ready safety and protection of the nation, our servicemen are motivated for this sacrifice.


In Singapore, it is compulsory for all male Singaporean citizens above the age of 18 to enroll in National Service (NS) where they serve a 22 or 24 month term as Full Time National Servicemen (NSFs). This period is where boys turn into men, or at least molded into a solid one. Of course, there some who view it as a complete waste of time.

Well, let's try to remember this:

Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
