- Even though it’s not mandatory for Singaporean women to enlist into the SAF, many of us have decided to join the Army or contribute to defence in our own way. More than just “female empowerment”, it’s a calling. To protect this place we call home. In this episode, servicewoman, Captain Tee Jin Hui, shares with us her story on what motivated her to join the Army; her journey from BMT to Signal Officer, and the challenges she faces as a female regular.

all the woman join army what a joke
Ma'am Jin Hui used to be my BSO around 2020-2021, she's always very caring and motivates troopers who seem to lag behind during trainings, she's also a very good leader. I'm glad I see some people I know and respect from my NS days famous :)
Hard to find real leaders with empathy nowadays. Respect to her !
She’s a role model for women! I already like her as a person by listening to this podcast ❤ she’s so strong and yet caring, if I have a daughter I hope she’ll be like her~
Why didn’t anyone ask about her skincare routine esp her sunscreen habit hahah!! Her skin looks flawless 🥲
I fully support female conscription for Singaporean National Service!!! 😁😁 It's 2023 girls can and should do it too!
Agree. Ladies should do national service. I have alot of very capable women around me and I can see the values they bring into the service.
Israel: "Hold my beer."
Since SAF was modeled after IDF originally I think this is a brilliant idea I’m sure our women would benefit and would not mind just a short stint 3-6 months
Let’s gooooo
There's no good argument (especially from equality standpoint) that women shouldn't be conscripted. It's really only an issue that they don't want to do it and the ruling party forcing them will cost alot of votes lol. (no specific political party at fault but any ruling party would face the same issue)
personally you would find that the warrant officers in the army (those who started off as lowly sergeants) have much better communication and leadership skills, because they needed to demonstrate these to rise up the ranks amongst the many. officers dont have these same opportunities or "hardships" to develop the same soft skills, as most go through the officer course from the start based on school results. so if you want a different more grounded perspective, speak to a warrant officer (someone who has proven ability over the years). officers, with the greatest respect, are usually sheltered from the dark side of the military - such as army rigidity and toxic organisational culture (they are the creators of and not the ones being subjected to military culture).
It boils down how much love, respect , dignity and trust to soldiers regardless on whether career or full time nsf/nsmen.
Singapore’s high rank structures are based solely on educational levels. Not Combat experience and exposures.
You’ll be surprised that some of the most decorated and respected soldiers in the US Military are actually corporals and sergeants whom had seen front line actions and life and death situations first hand. Not some officers whom simply has a degree or a so called “scholar”..
I rather my country soldiers have no real combat experience and stay that way. A war won without fighting is true victory.

Commentable but idealistic…
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSGnaive tbh
@rom8949 I am from Singapore, served 2 years 4mths of conscription and I would not like to be activated for anything. We gained independence without having to fight for it and this I am glad. War will only cause economic losses and lives. Singapore's strength is her economy and I hope it stays that way.
Yea, no choice, right? Since we don't fight wars
Salute to all our female military personnel. Thank you for your service!
NS really brings us men together... and in fact, it transcends generations...
I had the privilege of chancing upon a Gen 1 army combat engineer officer.. u know back the where SG didn't really have the best of equipment? Yea.. those days..
We bonded cos we were combat engineers and went through the same kind of training.. handling explosives, learning how to lay mines, how to construct a base of ops for vehicles, etc...
It's really heart warming and fun
its universal once you don a uniform there is a bond for life..
this girl got biceps
shall do podcast with Singapore 1st female fighter pilot too
The way of talking so nice she is so fit
There are not many female regular soldiers in armour units esp for armout operator. Think I roughly know who Azura's friend is hehe. (appeared in the news before)
cant believe i am hearing about how "understanding" the commanders are.
Get with times. No every commander's an asshole. Sorry you had your negative impressions and experiences
I have served my time and am on my 8th reservist cycle.honestly the army didn’t change much, many will attest to it. Did you even serve?
Nobody said every commander is an asshole, neither is it a bed of roses. I wanted to illustrate that to base your career in the arm forces, u need to have certain liking for it and the organisation is certainly NOT accommodating.
@@jackkua3717 did I even serve, huh?
@@jackkua3717 Sounds like infantry, if I am wrong, doesnt matter. My unit has been very accommodating.
@@oncewewerewolves What do you mean "get with the times"? What rubbish are you spouting? You clerk isit? Or IMT operator?
She is a trained counsellor too
20:39 I'm here 😆
28:17 But Germaine, you said earlier that you don't like being in the sun, so how to sign on and forge a career in the SAF? Lol......
By the way, I also don't like being in the sun these days. Way too hot.....my migraine gets triggered too often nowadays. I remember during my last few reservist trainings, my head was permanently wet during field camps...lol. Have to keep it cool to minimise the chances of triggering my migraine.
Subtitle please! 🥹🥹
Wow. Would never enlist voluntarily in the army. 2 years + 10 cycles is more than enough for a lifetime.
Why cannot sign form during poly / JC days? Opt whether you want to go or not, easy.
@@yueshijoorya601 Huh? What do you mean? What form?
Wow i love her voice and physique
Parents used to bring up whether we our male children got manage to flirt with any female nurse since we used work in the hospital environment.
Beautiful without makeup. ❤
Signals is a much more reasonable vocation for women, since infantry is so reliant on human strength. Whereas Signals is a much more technical vocation
I am a guy but because of my PES status (PES E), I didn't go through BMT in Tekong. I have ORDed for nearly 9 years already and wasn't called up for a single reservist.
My BMT was a 1-month stay-out at Kranji Camp III, then I went to MINDEF HQ for my unit life. I didn't even need to wear uniform once I entered my unit, I could wear civilian clothes. Therefore, my NS life felt like a 2-year internship.
So when guys talk about their NS life, I can't relate at all because I didn't go through the typical experience. HAHAHA.
I think the girl who never serve shld keep quiet and actually let the servicewoman talk
Women power ❤👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hormat SAF !
Der hauptmann female version
I know men who would make great commanders, and commanders who are lesser than the average men. SAF's rank progression is skewed.
Smart officer in between a bunch of look good no brainers-.-
all women should served ns...
😂
Thats 4 babies (new singaporeans) right there.

She is kinda cute ...
Many thanks to the police for going after many opposition-related members for criminal offences - pritam, faisal, charles yeo, lim tean, hsien yang, etc. 👍👍
rule the kitchen
the kitchen is a dangerous place, especially when you have to defend the sandwiches you made
hahahaha
Haha listening to them talking about having more females in the army without considering the impact. Logistically etc. yes females have valuable impact in some vocations however thinking about the studies of performance of mixed units vs purely males there’s no question having females in unit produces a decrease in performance.
They can do admin?
Why does it decrease performance?
@@MaxZRider oh there was a study done on it by the US marine corps. A portion of the presented these results.
Are you sure it’s a real woman
next can u make podcast about interracial couple in singapore.
