Here is a story from one of our featured serviceman: My name is Sher-Shah Madni, I’m 19 years old, originally from Pakistan, but I moved to Singapore when I was just six months old. I grew up studying as an international student at the United World College of South East Asia. Currently, I’m in my second year of National Service as a Combat Medic, serving in the 8th Battalion, Singapore Infantry Regiment (8SIR). My National Service experience has been challenging, but it has also been more rewarding than I ever expected. To summarize my journey: I began with 9 weeks of Basic Military Training (BMT) in an enhanced intake on Tekong. Afterwards, I was posted as a Combat Medic and underwent 12 weeks of specialized training at Nee Soon Camp. During this time, I earned the honour of being named the Company's Best Medic for my cohort. Following that, I had the opportunity to work as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) for 6 months, as part of the attachment “PROJECT SERVE”, posted to Alexandra Fire Station. After completing my attachment, I was posted to 8SIR, where I am now completing the final 10 months of my service.
