boys2men

Does serving the two mandatory years of National Service really turn immature,whiny boys into hardened men?

Well, I'll find out after my own two years, which happily begins ONE days from now. There's no error in the earlier sentence. It's just my wish that there would be days before I have to enlist so that I can enjoy my life slightly more before enlistment.

What does enlistment mean?
On the positve side, it means:
- daily trainings & exercise
- monthly allowance from the army
- no worries about how to pass my weekdays

On the negative side:
- no more meeting up with my friends as and when we feel like
- no more mahjong anytime we are free
- no time to go cable ski at batam
- no mambo nights at zouk

It's not like I have a choice though. So I'm just going to have to enjoy my time in camp. Good luck to me and all others who are enlisting soon.
