For me my advise to TS is if he really have no interest in Army better dun sign up. The few NS friends I have who sign up just to get easy money all regret because later very hard to transit to civilian job. |
There are happy ones too.
In any job - private sector, army, civil service, you name it - there will be unhappy employees. Army regulars are more visible cos we males saw with our own eyes the uselessness and wayangness of certain things, pardon my french. Especially when now we have to defend 50% foreigners who don't need to serve a !@#$% single day.
My point is that we males associate lots of negativity with the armed forces, and naturally we are more biased when comparing an army career with a civilian one.
That said, I do have a friend who still likes his army career a lot despite being just a specialist. Another friend is also quite happy in the police force.
