You going in the army? Oh I'm scared. Not. You come sneaking around my place I blow you to bits with my shotgun. Not willingly, but yes. In other words, I'm being conscripted. They don't call it conscription, of course. No, they call it National Service. Which basically means two and a half years (two years if I get to NCO level) of marching through jungles, firing rifles, trying to shirk duties, drilling, all that stuff. Then, after that, they let me go and get on with my life. UNTIL, they randomly pick my unit for reservice, which is another couple of weeks of what I mentioned above. And again. And again. At many inconvienient and unexpected times until I'm forty. And even then, me and other forty-year olds might be called up in case of a war.

Nope. Singaporean government is strict about these things. If I lose my rifle, I think I'll be sitting around in jail for awhile. I'm not sure, though. But it's not that bad... The food is supposedly getting better, they let you go home on weekends, and if I join the right branch, I might even get to go to other countries to fire long range artillery, or drive a new tank around... Life there has improved a lot in twenty years, and it will hopefully get even better in the six years before I have to go there. Actually, it might not even be six years. I think they let me go to university first.

Not every country in the world is as social as America. Although, I wouldn't call them that social either...
Many countries require, upon reaching a certain age, for people to enlist and train in the army. Although you'll be allowed to go free after that, unless your country goes to war. Singapore has a very small population compared to many, much larger, countries, so if they were to go to war they'd need all the numbers they can get.
Or something along those lines.
