While nobody in my unit has ever declared himself a "302" (why would they?), it was background knowledge that 302-NSFs were usually assigned admin-side jobs as clerks, and that your 302 status was "on the record" in some government database that might negatively impact any chance of future employment with the government or with the civil service -- I never ascertained if this was just an urban myth to discourage "kenging," however. Although I did not know anybody in my unit who was a 302, I knew people outside of my unit who were gay and were 302s. One was a clerk is a PDF/reservist unit (I can't remember what the other one did).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-50870198561247373572010-12-07T20:55:18.646+08:002010-12-07T20:55:18.646+08:00This weird.

There may indeed be a word limit. <br /><br />But my comment appears in full right after I post, then disappears soon after.<br /><br />Anyway, practical question: Has anyone been asked about their sexual orientation while in service? I've not. We've all heard about the "302" category, but it seems to be as much fiction as fact. Does it still exist? The only time I heard it talked about is when people talk about ways to "keng." But no one I know actually knows a "302." Unless they;re transgender ...<br /><br />Perhaps the SAF, as an organisation, doesn't care abt your sexual orientation as long as you behave. That some people are making it out to be a lot more than it is?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-25412538852125028192010-12-07T20:51:22.816+08:002010-12-07T20:51:22.816+08:00Can homosexual behavior be corrected?

Do straight people choose to be straight? No. The idea that somehow one can choose one's sexuality is erroneous.<br /><br />No one "chooses" to be discriminated against, ridiculed and belittled for who they love. The only choice involved is whether to be true to themselves, or to live in a closet that society wants to force them to live in.
