Honestly speaking, given the current economic climate, it is
difficult to state a vocation whereby the majority of the
vocationalist will be earning big bucks. But there is something
which is undeniable. You need not consider the educational profile
of a person before deciding if he's suitable to be a driver.
Practically anybody can be a driver. Yes, there are a few
exceptions here and there, like diploma or A levels students
becoming driver, but you can't deny that they are the minority.
There's one thing that i think i ought to share with you all.
For mono-intake guys, i actually suspect that the worst of the
intake is being sent out of the unit to become drivers and storemen
etc. The reason is simple, would you keep problematic guys inside
the unit and risk them awoling, commiting theft or escaping a
camp with a rifle? Obviously not given that such disciplinary
cases would affect the ranking of the unit and not to mention the
paperwork that must be done when you need to charge somebody.
After saying all these, my point is not to put anybody down
whatsoever. I just want to share my opinion. It is too much of an
over-generalisation to conclude that just because some one is from
a certain vocations and that's why he will behave in a certain
manner. There will always be black sheeps around. Even among the
highest ranking NSFs (the CPT MO), I have met some of them that are
really responsible and dedicated to their work and some others who
do not give a damn about their work. For eg by reporting late for
work (more than 2 Hours), affecting the conducting of IPPT of an
entire unit and booking out as early as 3PM.
yes i agree with wat u said. drivers vocation have a few a lvl
and poly ppl and is minority. but some ppl are saying all are
uneducated ppl which is very unfair to them. and i can tell u ,
mostly the uneducated ones are the one who always get rich. they
are just not academically inclined , but i am sure their brain can
be more creative and more lively , and i mean they can think out of
the box.
obviously u dunno a lot abt army , have u even been enlisted?
i feel so sorry if u have ord-ed or are in service and u are
still so ignorant. obviously mono intake soldiers are all low
educated ppl , and there are bound to have black sheep , but let me
tell u , all those cases u talk abt like awol , theft and etc still
happens after their mono intake bmt. and right now in my mt line ,
there is also soldiers from mono intake posted to my camp as
drivers and they dun act like wat u said , instead they gt a good
performance and 1 of them is going to ord already. and u are wrong
not all the ppl who have problem are being posted out , some being
posted out is because of medical reason or some of the vocation in
nid of manpower , tts y they are being posted to tat vocation.
yes there are black sheeps in every vocation , but ppl including
u are always talking about drivers being fuck up and everything ,
think abt it , is it fair for us? bringing down the reputation of
drivers. and ppl are thinking tat they are too highly educated for
drivers vocation. those nerds will cry when their instructors start
shouting at them. Think army instructors are like those bbdc
instructors? pay them money to teach you but instead they sleep in
the car. i seen all these on the road before , wearing a shade ,
but from the side view u can see they are closing their eyes
sleeping. Can those nerds even take the shouting and scolding from
their instructors? Hell no , they will cry for momma and papa.
