Given the climate nowadays, I wouldn't say rampant abuse is commonplace. If anything, it's kinda rare to encounter (completely) unreasonable ppl who'd pick on you for no good reason. Yes, they may be uncouth and may ask a lot of you, but singling someone out for "fun" is certainly not the norm. Moreso if the said superior is also a fellow NSF like you. All just want to finish the service term and get out of there in one piece. Why want to offend ppl this way? Am I right?
Good idea to talk to your superior and at least come to an understanding as to why he's behaving that way with you. If he's being unreasonable or illogical, just take it up to HIS superior (next lvl). Inside SAF, like it or not, gotta respect chain-of-command. If after that no change, take it further or NS hotline. If you're going to be stuck working with him for the rest of your service, it's no-go to sucking up. It'd mess you up. Take care.
Main point is, don't be afraid of confrontation, because understanding could be met after. Don't just keep quiet and take it on yourself for no good reason. NS is a good chance for you to learn to fend for yourself. No doubt, out in the wild workplace, there'll be more like him and you'll have to deal with it too.
