I was extremely surprised to receive the letter from my unit the other day, informing me to collect my NS service medal and watch. During my last ICT, we were told that only those people with full ICT records will be entitled to the watch as a reward for completing all the 10 ICT cycle. I still owe them 1 high-key ICT due to my disruption during my studies. I will not get the watch since my reward will be that I can MR earlier.
Nevertheless, if this is another 'cock-up' by the SAF, then I am actually glad they did =p So this medal and watch will be my last souvenir after 2.5yrs + 10yrs of contribution.
With it, I guess this special chapter in my life finally comes to an end...

service medal...

the watch...

the pin...
Went to dig out my other stuffs given by the Army also... not very impressive but I guess it feels good to be 'appreciated' in one way or another.
I met a guy (I think hokkien peng) on my way to collect the MR 'reward' and I can sense some happiness from him when he asked me to explain the contents of the letter and whether he have the watch as well... he did...

presented to me during my active days... still remember it was
my birthday month and the reward was a meal with the CO...

given by my reservist unit during one of my ICT (etec year?)
for being 'guai' and never 'complain' too much... hahaha
This is so unfair, I only got 6 yrs reservist,do not even have watch nor
service medal :(
