Men In Green, A Decade Later

It's been about ten years since we officially parted our 'green' ways. Some of us went off to Uni, others left TSC soon after and got jobs. We've met up on and off to relive good times and bad. Last Friday night we met for dinner in town. It was organised by Teng who suddenly sent everyone an email suggesting it was about time to talk cock sing song. We talked our strange exploits during reservist training and shared information about ICT. We talked about jobs, lives, wives and where we wanted to go on holiday next. Ten years, goodness, it's been ten years.














National Service is without doubt an experience. You go almost bald, share bathrooms with naked peers, get in trouble, handle weapons, learn to balance rank and being human, and so many other things. Some people feel it is a waste of time, while most others know that there would not be a Singapore today without this military force of half a million waiting in the wings to support the active forces. It is a fact of life for the Singapore man. Some come out men, others feel used. Some become egomaniacs, others learn their limitations. But most of all, we leave active duty knowing we are all share a common bond.
