I remembered the day where i first step foot onto Pulau Tekong, pledging loyalty to serve the nation, having my head shaved and sleeping in a bunk full of strangers.
In a matter of days, those memories would be reaching a one year span. O R and D are three very significant alphabets in every NSF's heart. It signify the end of a two year full time serving bond with the nation's forces. Despite reaching the halfway mark, it would be silly for me to dream about ORDing for one year is still a long way to go.
Though my current vocation can be classified as slack by many people, i too have spend my army times staying in, booking out on Fridays or Saturday nights. I can understand how important the few days of free time are to many of the NSFs staying in.
For once, i have this friend who have to serve a sentence for being unable to serve NS. Though my cliques of friends may not be considered as close to him, deep down, i would still wish to have a small meet up as it would be a long time before we will get to see him again. Yet, the chances of happening is bleak. For i suppose it is quite difficult to get everyone down to meet. At the same time, i am very disappointed with some people who just can't be bothered. This is understandable though, for the closeness is not there in the first place. Yet, it's just quite disappointing. Can we not just give some of our time to spend with him? Most guys go through army, i know weekends are important, but can't we just spare one for him?
For people who are not serving army, saying : "Nope. I can't. " would be a Fucker i must say. Just can't stand it.
Sad that this kind of people exist in my clique. As much as i understand why, ( there are more important things for me to do) i just think you are really a disappointment.
