  Hi Everyone,
  
  Some of you may have seen this before, but here it is again.
  
  Please take a look at my memoirs at Life at the Home of the Commandos
  
  Thank you to all who have visited my site and replied to my previous post. I hope that others can read my stories too.
  
  I'll appreciate a lot if you could kindly sign my guestbook too. Thank you.

  Your memoirs may be cute. But cross posting is not cute.

  I don't see what's wrong with cross posting. Not everyone visits all the various forums. Besides, this thread was deleted before, so I am just reposting again after receiving permission from the mod.

  Sorry for double posting. This slow computer/connection of mine is to blame!
  Also, there's a function to edit your post but no function to delete your post. Or am I missing something?

  Happy National Day!
  
  Thank you to all who have read my memoirs and for the questions and feedback received.
  
  A number have asked me about what made me go through what I went through. Others asked about injuries. So I may add such topics to my memoirs.
  
  I would appreciate any other suggestions and topics to include concerning my MILITARY memoirs.
  
  Thank you.

  Me! Me! Me!
  
  And be sure to describe, in excruciating detail, all those life-threatening paper cuts and staple punctures you received whilst bravely serving your country in an air-condtioned office.

  Yes! I would be very eager to read such memoirs. I have never read or even come across memoirs of a clerk before, so this should be interesting to me.
  
  Where are your memoirs? Are they online? If so, may I have the web address please?
  
  Thank you.

  Just joking, Mr Commando. I'm a rifleman, not clerk.

  Oh I see
  
  Well, a rifleman's memoirs should be very interesting too. If you have, please let me know.
  
  Thank you.

  While not a former- Commando, Special Forces, or anything like that (thank goodness! ), I have some affiliation with the SOF community.
  
  For my Korean military service, I was assigned as a translator to the combined U.S. and R.O.K. Special Forces Command, so I know a bit about them and what they do.
  
  I've read your memoirs and am very impressed.

  Welcome! We hope that you have a good time here in sgforums. It will be best if you could share with us some stories from your South Korean military service as well. I am sure many of us will be curious about what foreign NS system differs from ours.

  Maybe not memoirs but if I'd kept a diary of my days as a rifleman, it would be something like this:
  
  Book in
  
  March 10 Km
  
  Dig Trench
  
  Fill Sandbag
  
  Sit in hole
  
  Run around the forest making noise
  
  Go back to hole
  
  Fill in Trench
  
  Empty sandbag
  
  Excercise over
  
  Wash equipment
  
  Book out

  Thank you for reading my memoirs and for the compliment. Thank you too for signing my guestbook.
  
  I've always had the deepest respect for R.O.K. soldiers. They are one of the best soldiers in the world. For example, during the Vietnam War, they were very greatly feared by the enemy. The NVA and Vietcongs feared the R.O.K soldiers more than they feared the Americans.
  
  In the book "Guns Up", a Marine described how he found 9 dead Vietcongs after they were killed by 8 R.O.K soldiers. They found no gunshot wounds among the corpses, although knife wounds were found. Most of the Vietcongs had been killed by the bare hands and feet of the R.O.K, using Tae Kwon Do.
  
  Another book "A Sniper in the Arizona" describes R.O.K Marines giving a demonstration attacking an enemy position. All the Americans were impressed, including the Marines and even Navy SEALS.
  
  So welcome. Nice to have you here. I am honored to have an R.O.K soldier read my memoirs. There's so much that Singaporean soldiers can learn from R.O.K soldiers.
