Army blues or rants? You decide

Hell yea, company off till 3rd Jan 2005! Enjoy myself while i can... Wait i cant, i gotta to study for SAT again... wasnt satisfied wif my old score so im determined to pass the 1300 mark at least. My realistic target is 1400 n i hope i hit it seriously then perhaps my chances of getting into smu would be easier since they still consider SAT.

Boring brief from our dear 'mooner' on his expectations as a spec. Here are some debatable if not illogical, myopic excerpts...

• What is a specialist? Ans: Outstanding enlistee.

LOL what the fuck man. It seems enlistees are classified from private onwards to corporal. Erm ok though i dont see the logic in it. IMO, an outstanding enlistee is someone who is the best out of cohort when he was enlisted into the freaking army which warrants him a place in a place called OCS. Makes more sense if u ask me... ok nvm next one...

• He claims medics are fuck types who cannot make it and are posted there.

Well there is a certain degree of truth in it but thats a sweeping statement because not all who are posted there are fuck type. Im not defending myself but there are some who can lead but were denied tt chance coz they were obese. Im sure there are some who can lead but cant be bothered coz its the ARMY. Leaders do need not be bred in army to showcase their potential, its leadership in the corporate world that counts u cunt. What you say? Officers, sergeants are in the mainstream? So you look up to ppl who wayang alot? SIT test is a fine example; so many ppl wayanging coming out with stupid ideas to solve a situation just to impress the officer so he can get into OCS. I dun suck up thanks and if ure fuck type it doesnt mean everybody else is.

• If fucktypes are the best, then there is a problem.

I dont know how long u can kid SAF, but we are the best because we're the only unique unit that does the this particular shit besides SCDF. I dont know wat nonsence you have indoctrinated inside the damn so called official doctrines. But good luck to me and my future juniors for their future looks bleak.

• High standards in work quality in army akin to those found in corporate world.
  

What utter rubbish. Having complicated diagrams or illustrations and piles of documentation means quality work? I heard from 3sg victor he went to an extend to even using a ghannt chart? lol what the fuck man. Do you even know what a ghannt chart is for? Its plotting your progress notably in IT projects. I got no idea how vic incorporated into the report, but as far as im concerned, it just sounds plain ridiculous. Whats the point of having a report to look impressive but the details in it is far from what u expect? There you go, words of wisdom indeed.

TOo much to rattle on, in fact im so sick of this. Its best i enjoy my holis and end the year 2004 memorably.

Wonder whats the life of a 3sg? Guess i'll find out in 2005 coz tts when i start to take over operational duties. Ushering in the year 2005 also ushers in the bullshit encik is gonna throw at us. Prepare for more boring endurance talks which can deviate somewhere else most of the time. Rest assured i'll be trying very hard to fight the zZz monster then.

Tomorrow dim sum buffet at dragongate....Yummy! Then after tt i gotta go back camp for guard duty... what an anti-climax. I was actually considering swimming nearby and get a tan at the same time sigh.
One day i'll go down town and take a look at for my cny shopping =P Its been a while i actually combed the shops of orchard. Hopefully the babe meter has improved and upped a notch!

Not much soccer until 26th dec...enjoy civilian life to the max and end the year with a bang. I sincerely wish that 2005 will be best year ill have comparable to 2000 if not even better!
