Singapore's first batch of National Servicemen leave Bedok Camp upon completing their two years of service in August 1969. The first people to say "ROD Loh!" ORD used to be called ROD (Run Out Date) Credit: Photonico
They were trained hardcore by Israelis
I still remember that generations horror stories of the kinds of crazy abuses that went on then, especially under the Israeli trainers. Don’t know if others have heard the same, immense respect to them for going through it.
My dad was one of the guys in the first batch of NS and he told me many horror stories training under these Israeli trainers and how he abhorred NS. So I can understand why. Insanely tough training
I rmbr when they first brought in the israeli professionals to set the programs up they had to act like they were mexican so that the local muslims wouldnt get angry lol
