I understand how you feel. It's unfair, but hey, life is unfair
in more ways than one. It ultimately depends on how we make of our
situation. Whether we want to complain and complain or whether we
want to move on and make the best of what we have.
I'm from a non combat unit. All I want to say is that
sometimes things are not what you see on the surface. I have a
chronic muscle problem which is for life. I dont
know whether it is really a blessing to be down-pes, especially
when it's due to a condition that will plague me for years to
come.
Saying that one is from non-combat will always elicit the
"wah..chaokeng king" response, whether explicit or implicit. I
don't mind people saying because it's natural for people to assume
that way. As long as we know our limits i.e what we can/cannot do,
as long as we know how to take care of ourselves. No point being
unfit and trying to chen qiang.
Of course, I also know of people who "keng". This kind of people
will always exist. In army. In workplace. Everywhere.
Ultimately, it is how you see it. Combat toughens you up and
gives you an immense sense of gratification. Admin, logistics or
signals etc etc all have their own pros and cons. In one way or
another, we are all serving NS, giving up our precious 2 years. We
are all still losers ultimately. Just my opinion that down-pes
people deserves the benefit of doubt, as there are always black
sheep among us. Pes C people doesnt mean cannot walk or move
around. He might look perfectly healthy, but some illnesses arent
easily accessible by the human eye/superficial observation.
