Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! National Service (NS) is the name given to the compulsory conscription in Singapore of all male Singaporean citizens and second-generation permanent residents upon reaching the age of 18. They serve a two-year period as Full Time National Servicemen (NSFs) in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Police Force (SPF), or the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).When a conscript completes his full time service, he is considered to be "operationally ready", and is thereafter known as an Operationally-Ready National Serviceman (NSman). NSmen are the equivalent of other militaries' reservists. The difference in nomenclature is because the term Operationally-Ready National Servicemen conveys more importance than reservists and in the event of the breakout of war in Singapore, these NSmen will form the bulk of the defending forces under the SAF.On an annual basis, NSmen go through either a high key training or a low key training until they reach the age of 40 or 50 depending on their rank. 'High-key' or intensive training involves operations and In-Camp Training (ICT), which last for seven days or longer.
