NSman Magazine FAQ
SAFRA will send out a notification edm/SMS in Dec 2020 for you to manage or update your contact preferences.
NSman first started out as a SAFRA news tabloid published by the SAF Reservists’ Association in 1974. In 1976, it took on the title of The Reservist with its first coloured format and was rebranded to NSman Magazine in 1994.
With over 40 years of presence in Singapore, this bi-monthly lifestyle publication stays true to its mission of bringing relevant stories and updates to readers while continually adapting to meet the ever-changing needs of NSmen.
NSman magazine has been moving ahead to stay aligned to the ever-changing needs of NSmen; from changes in content produced to the NSman application that houses the PDF version of the magazine. The move into a purely digital version in 2021 will help reduce SAFRA carbon footprint as well as staying attuned to the decline of print magazine readership and SAFRA members' preference to access information through the use of digital platforms.
