Shortly after enlisting into the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), he was posted to the Marine Division, West Coast Marine Fire Station (Station 81). As SGT(1) Hairul\u2019s role involved marine firefighting and rescue, he had little choice but to head out at sea again.<\/p><p>This time, he found even greater meaning from sailing. Earlier this year, SGT (1) Hairul\u2019s team received a call for medical assistance from an anchored vessel in the southwest of Singapore. \u201cThe adrenaline kept us going as we set out to rescue the crew member, who had fallen off a ladder and was immobilised,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>As the team suspected that the crew member had a spinal injury, they were extra careful while transferring him from the anchored vessel to the SCDF&#8217;s Rapid Response Fire Vessel (RFV). \u201cEverything that I had trained for was put to use. I\u2019m glad that we successfully conveyed him to shore and, subsequently, to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bce483 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7bce483\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>DISCOVERING HIS PURPOSE<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4d8927 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e4d8927\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1194\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/edited_IMG_2676.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-18335\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/edited_IMG_2676.jpeg 1194w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/edited_IMG_2676-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/edited_IMG_2676-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/edited_IMG_2676-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1194px) 100vw, 1194px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Training sessions include the national servicemen donning full fireproof suits as they learn to tackle various scenarios. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3153ee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3153ee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The experience validated all the months of training he had undergone. \u201cThe physical parts were manageable but the real challenge was the scenario training,\u201d he recalled. During these sessions, trainees don full fireproof suits, with boots that weigh up to three kilograms, and work through various scenarios. Each session can last a few hours and give SCDF trainees a taste of the situations they are trained to work in.<\/p><p>Unlike previous batches, SGT (1) Hairul and his teammates did not just have to grapple with the rigours of training; they also had to deal with training during the early days of a pandemic. (He began his service in February 2020, just as the world was seeing a growing number of COVID-19 cases.) \u201cThis was even before the virus had a name! But we knew something major was happening,\u201d he recalled.<\/p><p>Needless to say, during his Basic Rescue Training (BRT), Singapore went into a circuit breaker to curb the rapid growth in infections. While the rest of the country shut down, training inside the Civil Defence Academy continued with proper safety protocols and procedures. Many lessons were conducted virtually and the health of recruits was closely monitored. \u201cIt was a surreal experience, but we knew training had to go on. We are frontliners and the country needs us,\u201d said SGT (1) Hairul. This motivated him to push harder in his training, even the parts of the training in which he found challenging.<\/p><p>When asked about the greatest lesson he\u2019s learnt over the past two years, he was quick to answer, \u201cThings always happen for a reason. You may not always know why, but just make the most out of these experiences.\u201d SGT (1) Hairul is determined to make the most of his National Service (NS), given that his Operationally Ready Date (ORD) is fast approaching.<\/p><p>He confessed that he is dreading the date a little as he has grown very close to his unit. \u201cI spend so much time with these people; sometimes even more than with my own family. We eat together, sleep together and train together. They have been my rock through this experience and I will definitely miss them.\u201d<\/p><p>Not one to be down for too long, he is already planning activities to fill up the final months of his National Service. \u201cWe\u2019re quite an active bunch so maybe we\u2019ll attempt the Coast-to-Coast Trail. Hopefully, we\u2019ll be able to play football soon as well.\u201d<\/p><p>The Coast-to-Coast Trail is a 36 km trail that runs across Singapore, linking Jurong Lake Gardens in the west, to Coney Island Park in the north-east.<\/p><p>When the time comes to say goodbye, SGT (1) Hairul is confident that he will have no regrets. He will also have his sights set on his next milestone: A marine engineering degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU). \u201cI want to show others that they don\u2019t have to doubt themselves. Here I am at 26, pursuing my degree. I\u2019m a living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61a1272 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61a1272\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>LOOKING TO 2022<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e33e0a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e33e0a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the coming year, SGT (1) Hairul hopes to complete a marathon, preferably with his mates from his unit.
