Detached SG

Wah biang.. one thing that irks me is that my C9L2 friends happily made their way through to become some technician, clerk or storeman or whatever stay out vocation. And being a L9, I'm posted to some stay in unit, drawing some combat pay.

Quoting from NS.sg

"C9 - No IPPT, L9 - Suitable for peacetime sedentary duties at Bases. Not fit for operational duties even in Bases"

So why me?

Maybe I'm illiterate or somehow manage to misinterpret the medical directive; but anyhow... the next time anyone cites to me any directive at all, I'd be utterly amused.

stellazio SG

Aiyah some pes E clerks also have to start staying in nowadays.

Detached SG

You were unfair.

The case is they didn't follow medical directive in the first place; and there is no way I could seek redress as I'm just a li'l puny, defenseless private

Edit: Did I mention that we were advised not to lodge any complaints to any individual or organization outside SAF? And the chain of command? I guess this is why God gave us 2 ears - to listen and 2 thumbs - to suck on

stellazio SG

What i was unfair?

Detached SG

What i was unfair?

By making comparing Lychee with PES E clerks whom got to stay in. It was not totally 'bout staying in or out; but playing by the book.

Detached SG

Okay lah, mai sidetrack so far from the topic.

Anyone would like to share their experience in 8 Sig Battalion?
