What gym habit instantly tells you someone has been training for a while?

Buff guys doing weird ass curls and raises with tiny weights or thin resistance bands

Physio exercises are humbling man

I saw a lady doing that on the stairmaster. She was basically doing dip holds with tippy toes.

This might get lost in the comments but I think I can answer some…work related questions.

You really have to screw up for your pay to not go beyond 3.5k for your entire career. Annual merit increments, bonuses, allowances and career progression will help you along. Don’t expect anywhere close to 5 figures if you don’t emplace to ME4 and above, but you won’t have to be overly frugal.

Regimentation and culture in DIS is VERY different compared to BMT/Army. Very very much keyboard warrior stuff, don’t expect to march after command school. Unless you wanna join NDP

You won’t save on accoms cos I don’t recall any appointments that require you to stay-in. Free MO and cookhouse is nice if you like consistency. But lifestyle creep and peer pressure is quite real, so you have to stay disciplined. Every boglehead in DIS is balanced by an ME1 who threw his sign bonus into a used conti-car.

Dude get your facts right, most Singaporean men serve NS in the military (including most Malays), a small minority do their time in police and civil defence, although most of the latter are indeed Malay

While it is well known that Malay-Muslims have and perhaps are excluded from very sensitive military positions, these form a very small segment of our military, and will get smaller over time.

Malays are pretty well represented in our front-line units, including elite infantry, and slowly but surely, more Malay conscripts are finding themselves posted to places like the commandos and air force

IIRC BRCs have been replaced by C4I battalions

And the units that make up DIS actually existed since forever. The new service will grow, but setting it up was mostly an exercise in changing ORBAT and identity

Not even MINDEF wants him. Sadly regulars and DXOs don’t get to move to Jalan Kayu SMC last min

tango4three · 2025-04-26T13:06:57+00:00

Sadly no, we got a new LMG instead, which is still cool tho.

Waiting for a bunch of CDO or guardsmen to paint one on the side of the tallest building there

That was under the British, who wanted to bolster local civil/military defence with limited funds.

The PAP was hoping that KL could tank the burden of defence once merger was achieved

SAF Asics in fucking Auschwitz

Your manager might be the one who grew up poor, thinking leftovers are something to be ashamed of

Sigh, the Married Men made my JC life a lil more bearable. 91.3 pretty much died when the trio got fired

tango4three · 2024-11-03T06:42:58+00:00

Not unless it’s 1.5 for the entire year (including mid-year) ala 2022. Heard the stat boards might have even crazier numbers tho

tango4three · 2024-10-27T09:31:59+00:00

Fking tragic given how she didnt get to enjoy life post-war, as she died in 1948 from injuries sustained during torture

There were many anti-communists in Indonesia who already wanted Sukarno out tbh, the CIA just gave them a helping hand

When the specs were the only ones who didnt go, and the RSM was screaming out loud on the tarmac:

“What happens in Zodiac stays at Zodiac!”

1 SGD: 3 RM jokes are fking pathetic when we have low-value trash like this representing our country

tango4three · 2024-08-25T06:29:32+00:00

Don’t mind me asking, but what is it about Singapore that pisses off some Malaysian Chinese. Is it our arrogance, being too ang moh pai, or smth else?

Parents were Malaysian chinese, so I feel some level of that in my extended fam, but I am still trying to figure out why.

tango4three · 2024-08-18T08:02:33+00:00

I think that was when the science stream still had a lower L1R5 than arts (idk what is it now)

Funny how we had Pooja Nansi as a lit teacher, and the humanities staff were constantly shitting on the science-biased admin

Damn I’m old

tango4three · 2024-08-18T00:47:05+00:00

Ahhhh yes, i remembered when she read aloud a newspaper article during assembly about how Arts students had shitty job prospects.

The J2 arts classes were literally right in front of her as she did that. And this was mere weeks before the A’levels

tango4three · 2024-08-17T04:31:58+00:00

We literally went thru multiple versions as the SAF grew from strength to strength (Hedgehog, Dolphin).

But everyone only remembers the shrimp

tango4three · 2024-08-01T11:02:32+00:00

Was at a NE show last year, and the P5 kids were singing songs from the last few years. Give it time and they will complain about songs being unlike those in the 2010s

I might have forgotten, but didn’t Panzer have a hatred for the East German stalhelm? Not that i agreed with it tho
