My Army Career
From Dickinson College Wiki
Every Singaporean Son...
As the title suggests, all Singaporean males have to serve the army for at most 2 years. Our army service doesn't stop from there. Every year, we are liable to be called back to serve in units given to us after we leave the army. Different activities include exercises, in-camp training or physical fitness tests.
I did my 'time' and left the army on April 23rd 2007. Fortunately enough, I do not have to return home to perform any duty since I am overseas. All of those who study overseas are exempt from NS for the duration of study overseas.
