Firstly, LHL was not yet a BG, only a miserable RECRUIT but his was
not the LOW LIFE of any other Recruit.
His was leading a Recruit Life with a body guard in his
bunk, with a Commanding Officer two ranks higher to
conduct all military training that involved "risky and sensitive"
manouvers that involve either his Section, or Platoon, or
Company.
Our miserable low life only require our Platoon Commander to
supervise our section or platoon training; but his Life will demand
that the Company Commander supervise the Platoon training; and if
the training involved the entire Company, the Battalion Commander
will probably be present.
Live Firing will have to be carefully planned - and perhaps the ISD
is involved to vet all those other Recruits' Family background
before they are allowed to shoot up the hill.
Secondly, food can be eaten at the Dining Area during the visiting
hours, but certainly CANNOT BE KEPT in the personal Wardrobe in the
bunk area.
Daily stand-by bed was a sweat and the Low Life Recruit is always
terrorized by the whimsical fancy of the Commander to poke his nose
and finger to find the smallest fault that no one can imagine
exist.
It is surprising that such experience never figure much in his
anecdotes of early military experience ?
It is even more surprising that his military experience was so
uneventful - except for the botched cable car rescue - that not
much was ever spoken in all his speeches.
Does he deserve any kueh ?
lky scared ppl blanket his son ?
