Juz happened to stumble upon this topic and decided to give my 2
cents worth. Because like the TS, i too once aspired to
be a CDO. So, sorry if i happen to veer off from the convo. To the
TS, U remind me every much of myself when i was at ur age, i too
checked the mail box everyday waiting for the VA letter to arrive,
which obviously did not arrived. So, don't be despaired
if u din make to CDO, it doesn't make u a lesser man. Correct
me if im wrong but i do think CDO's select their people randomly,
but of course u would have to meet certain criteria too
like being physically fit, Pes A or B.......and the list goes
on.
Hence, my advice to u would be to concentrate on your studies
now since u are now a jc 2 student and would be embarking on ur A
levels soon. It doesn't matter if u were or were not a CDO when u
were serving ur NS. It matters more about what happens after ur NS,
which, im sure u clearly understand what i mean. Pus u don't need
to be a CDO or a NDU personnel to serve with pride during ur NS.
The Army does not function only because of their presence. Even
drivers or clerks contribute a part to the army too. There is
no need for comparisons here.
Hope this helps. :) FIRST IN, LAST OUT.
