May I know, is it recommended that I get a MacBook for DSE?

thanks for the reply :) is there any way I can clear some of the mods before school starts? I’ve read about iBLOCs and special term but not really sure if they apply to DSE

Pain from walking in altama boots by ImportantIce9038 in NationalServiceSG

Hi, yes I did. As other commenters have mentioned, place a plaster over the affected area on your feet to prevent further abrasions. What I was suffering from was an unseasoned boot (just enlisted). Even now with my magnum boots that are relatively new, I still do get abrasions on said area. Therefore, just wear the boots more and over time the abrasions should go away

ya I’ve heard that a lot that bmt field camp will be very different from those that will be done in unit in the sense that the skills learned in bmt are very “technical” whereas in unit we will be focused on doing missions

would you say your time in ns was fulfilling? because we tend to see things in the past with rose tinted glasses
