Default Re: is NS a waste of time?

u guys complain 2 years like very waste time, i used 2 think like that. But if u comapre NS with other country's conscrpited service as some are even longer like Isreal 3++ years (including women), Taiwan and South Korea 2.5 years ++.

So i dun think its not good to compare with the time issue about NS, it is how much u learnt from it is the best remedy to cure the waste time mindset. :rock:

Default Re: is NS a waste of time?

Voted no.

However to some extent, I do agree that NS might be a waste of time. Mainly the duration of the service.

The BMT is meaningful and once in a lifetime, I believe everybody should go thru it at least once.. good to remember.. but not good to do it again. wahaha.

I, for one, think that NS should be more like a 1 yr thing. 3 mths of BMT and maybe 9 mths of whatever you are needed to do at wherever you're posted to. 2 years is too long and yes its wasting my time.

However, I voted no because there simply isn't a yes and no option o_o

Check before u open thread


also, NO, if you think NS is a waste of time, cant deny the things you learn in there, i see people literally change before and after army.
though the length could be shorten a lil la.

anyway, waste or time anot, no point to discuss, you STILL need to serve.

Well for those who think it is a waste of time, consider this Kuwait because they did not have a strong protection, that is why they fell so easily. Consider this too, what chips do you have to put on the table to negotiate when you want to enforce some policy.
