Jokes aside, is anyone worried about the growing rate of deaths in the SAF?
the sad thing is, quite a number of deaths are due to inadequate medical care and gross negligence, like the most recent one. the guy had high blood pressure, was suffering headaches, and had nosebleeds, and they still made him go through the whole field camp. -

and the more they import, the less the younger generation will want to reproduce.actually this has implications on the SAF. and its already happening. not enough manpower = kids with existing medical conditions that would have exempted them from combat vocations or bmt last time (e.g. bad backs, bad knees, high blood pressure etc), are now being forced to undergo training that they really should not be udergoing.
i dont want my kid to be born in a chinese village

I agree to a certain extent with hisoka, about transparency.
But I think it would be best to not be too transparent. They're shooting themselves in the foot. Showing that they have the wrong people in command, etc etc.

... with first world capabilities.
It's like we're all leaving in dreamland. We don't realise we're actually that bad, because we have shit like shopping malls all over the island to distract us.
It was unreal walking through clementi central on saturday, taking the mrt, and then getting to the esplanade for the FF concert.
it felt like I was moving from a third world or developing country (clementi and the mrt journey) to some first world venue (esplanade concert hall)

yeap... but it isn't just over medical issueseven onto hearing devices they install on their new vehicles... end up making e road more dangerous for everyone when e speed is alrdy only 50kph.. sometimes if they want e SAF drivers to gain experience, let them drive as like cv lorry speed limit at 60kph.. also newbie ought to be spared from funny punishment as they start to gain road experience.
I think it's coming to a point, everything seems to be in a theortical world...

Someone from my unit went awol to Canada and never came back. To this day I feel that he did the right thing.The guy had a bad knee going into NS, it was reinjured again during BMT, and the army still wanted to send him for re-course BMT again, despite his appealing and showing his medical records. This guy was educated in Canada, had Canadian PR, and his parents have a house there. So he went on overseas leave and never came back, rather than risk becoming a cripple.

even I know of 1 NSF in my neighbourhood now... like i've said just now over skine cream he used is so potent tat only dermatologist can prescribe, yet e MOs dun even bother saying it's not tat serious yet.
I know he suffers w/ severe skin prob whenever he comes home aft outfield or/ with applying camo

sad to say, he's probably doomed. -
the SAF need a real shakeup.. however, like most places when some scumbag gets up the ladder, he takes his cronies with him who are usually scumbags too..
they then infest the upper echelon while the honest and hardworking ones will be pushed out because of their own ethics...
ultimately, the whole system is infested with these scumbags and the organisation collapses..
however, in the SAF, they found the perfect niche as it cannot be allowed to collapse...
heck! i've not been combat fit for the whole of my reservist time, yet i'm still classified as a combat medic!

how many more ppl need to die b4 they will face and solve the problem?! o.O

people just take chances these daysbut thing is, e people running SAF these days are considered e very top elite leh... so you think they're willing to change?
-
the idiots who run the place always talk about "calculated risks"
the risk of a person dying if they bo chup is minimal.. however, after a certain time, the odds catch up..

only if a minster's son or some other big shot's son dies then they will do something -
if one knows abt e newer SAF 5 tonner tat's auto transmission.. they installed a turbo into e tonner, hence once it reaches 50kph, e turbo will kick in and e vehicle can cruise on its own
But I've heard cases of accidents due to tis as e tonner would be no longer have engine brake to slow down naturally due to the traffic in front by letting go of e acclerator.. so drivers can only brake to slow down e tonner.
Yet they said it's not safe for SAF vehicles to be 60kph!
not to say newbie also faces DB if there's any accident - no chance for them to gain experience w/ confidence -

My dad applied to be an instructor in SAF to teach them how to use heavy machinery, in this case, the big trucks. But was rejected cause he was too experienced?
