Hi guys. I'm entering the military in my country on 9th January 2009(this Friday). I'm in high anticipation mode as well as a little level of anxiety.
My knee problem has been rectified and its not really serious.. just some tight muscles and positioning of my footing that's causing knee cap irritation.
Just some additional information about this whole thing.
Over here, we call it National Service(NS) for the compulsory conscription of all male Singaporeans and second-generation permanent residents upon reaching the age of 18.
This act was passed on 14 March 1967 as we had a pretty small defence force of around 1000 soldiers. The British army(yes we were under colonial rule) had also decided to withdraw from our country and our government thought that it was important to build up a military force.
With that, I'm going to pack my bag for camp now. WOOO!!
EDIT: Got most of this information from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Service_in_Singapore

If Singapore and the U.S. get in a war, and I get drafted and I'm about to shoot you, yell "I LOVE LEE JAE DONG!" at me and I'll stand down. Since you don't know what I look like, you should yell this at every GI who points a gun at you. If he blows your head off at least he'll have a weird war story to tell when he gets back home.

Your most likely enemy would be Malaysia when they cut off Singapore's water supply. Go go go!
