MR Loh

We see this quite often on social media for peeps around my age group. No, this doesn't mean calling someone by their surname.

MR means Military Reserve in SAF terms. When someone MRs, it means he has served his prerequisite National Service requirement of at least 7 high-keys before the age of 40. Hence an honorable discharge from further military service.

I received my certificate earlier this month, and trust me, it is more met with joy than relief.

I will miss all my buddies and friends from my unit and hopefully we will continue to keep in touch for years to come. It is them who have made my reservist life so much more palatable over the last almost 20 years.

MR loh!!!
