17. But it ain't an eff bee eye check
So long as you pay your taxes, don't criticize the ruling party, or spit on the sidewalk or chew gum in Singapore, you're a-OK. It ain't the same mindset. So what if you go on holiday for six weeks, and take a side trip to some desert outpost, to learn how to fiddle with essential equipment? Who will know? Singapore may be a police state, but their reach is not the reach of say, the US government, or Mossad, or the People's Republic of China...of course, there are "sharing of intel" relationships, but you can never be really assured unless you've done the work yourself.

I simply point to the irony of the entire issue. We put our own, most of whom are ex-military, through the fucking wringer to get a license that they can't use because their jobs are being exported overseas, and those who have no certifiable bona fides are given carte blanche, all for the profit of the CEOs and shareholders.

It is absurd.
