The two weeks break was refreshing! I reached Singapore at around 5pm yesterday. The first SMS to greet me when I return was this one below:
Fxxxk! MINDEF again!
RT is going to start the following Sunday. Sibei sian…
Before I flew off on the night of 1 February at around 1am, I had to be on standby and stay at home the whole day on 31 January (Saturday) to wait for a silent mobilisation exercise. It came at around 1pm and I had to rush all the way back to Changi Naval Base in uniform just to sign my name. Never mind if it’s the Chinese New Year period and that I am in the midst of packing for my flight in a few hours time.
Before I leave for a holiday, SAF must disturb me with a mobilisation exercise, when I return back, SAF must disturb me again with a RT reminder. Totally spoils my mood through and through.
Call me a disloyal and disgruntled Singaporean if you want: Reservist, RT and all the hassle about National Service is one of the reasons I am seriously contemplating to migrate or seek employment in another country for good.

I know I'm in no position to criticise, mere female I am, but perhaps you should really seek employment in a different country for a few years. Then you'll realise how fortunate we Singaporeans actually are.
But then, I do realise very few Singaporean men actually go back for reservist happily. ;)
Whether Singaporean men are going back camp for reservist in a happy or foul mood is dependent on which camp and which unit. There's only 2 kinds by the way... can relac or cannot relac
can la dude... as long as u're reservist, no reason to PIA like u're a bloody recruit during NS.
Take it easy... cannot means cannot. they wouldn't want you to die on them.
vinyarb: No lah, I don't find it tough... it's more the hassle that bothers me. The disruption to my daily routines, etc
