Hi.I’m curious about life as a 3 sgt in units eg. arty or armour. am currently in sispec, so trying to find out. =)

breytonhartge SG

bad position to be in, the men hate you and the officers come after you... you are right in the middle... Sad

Rockhound SG

better than being in bmtc

best place to be..lol

i dunno wats so hard

been a spec in unit before

better than being in tekong

so much freedom

just listen to instructions and dont act smart...do ure job well and ppl wont fault u much

and when slack..really slack sia

Rockhound SG

men generally wont hate specs uh although some got attitude problem

my coy...the specs men and officers were like family lidat

nowhere near ure description

u go thru wat they go thru

it beats being a spec in bmtc any day

beingin the middle is of course

but it aint as bad as u say

stellazio SG

i thoguht 3sg in tekong good life?

Rockhound SG

misconception

redundant life

on a god forsaken island

plus

nsf commanders there majority cannot make it due to either ability

or when they POP no intakes in Unit....

mine when in unit

after last parade at 5 or 6

go nites off liao...come back before 12 sometimes come back at 4am if we know who doing guard that nite

in camp...just follow schedule arh

outfield then outfield lor

go exercise in LCK then go lor

come back..clean weapon then slack

play ps2(that time was ps2 arh)

do watever we want

of course got responsibility to take care of men arh

most of the men are pretty okay anywaes....not as bad as some ppl seem

my best fren now is one of my men during ns

u take care of them

they will take care of u one in camp or outside camp

tekong...wat kind of freedom u got

just shouting at dumbf u c ks every day oni

will get boring one

Rockhound SG

wat i say is depend on unit arh

that was wat i experienced in mine

sure sometimes everyone shoot arrow to u

but ure job to do wat

anywaes

i always reminded my men last time that i wish i was a private instead and they should appreciate not having to make hard decisions everytime and having to always babysit 6 others for 2 years

its really fun being in unit arh..

u wont regret arh

of course we got standbys and alerts arh

just be optimistic

and always prepare ure week ahead

no such thing as dunno for commanders

and never treat ureself higher than ure men

cos they are the ones that make u look good....1 suffer all suffer..no matter wat rank

officers..who gives a fuck

but usually they are nice ppl arh

down to earth

human beings

HO SEI BO SG

well fer my unit we hate almost all out 3sgt all damm green still wanna act old birdzzzzzz

LazerLordz SG

In some units, 3SG are men. Laughing

Father Lim SG

airforce spec quite okay…once u lao jiao, they treat u macham like regular…

BeEtHoVeN SG

in unit, get ready to burn weekends like nothing Mr. Green
dun even think of clearing leave, the commanders take care of the men, but who will take care of the commanders? Laughing

Father Lim SG

yourself lor... who else Very Happy

citymax SG

3rd sergeant life in unit is good. dun worry abt tough training, coz u will meet with challenges on how to manage a section of men,especially those going ord ones will try to be funni with u.

Alvin.Yeoh SG

You're just high enough to be considered a commander, so anything the commanders kanna, you also get. And since your rank is just above the men, anything the men kanna, you will also kanna.

While there are perks, it can also be quite shit at times.

dkcx SG

You mean us right Razz Our ranks just nice to look at, spec pay but men work.

LazerLordz SG

Not just us.

Other places too.. Laughing

Like RSAF.

Had two mates who really felt damned shiok when we were back in Tekong for recourse.

One of them told me, "So this is what our rank is supposed to feel like?"..

I told him, "You want to stay in Tekong, by all means man". Twisted Evil

dkcx SG

haha, tekong is the only place you can lift your head high with a 3SG rank. In unit who gives a damn to it. Some of my mates used to say posted to tekong will be good life cos can anytime see REC never greet just pump them if not i guess most of us in our entire 3SG life never once even drop anyone or do anything a 3SG can do to anyone.

I_love_my_toilet SG

i dun understand y 3 sgt need to pump his subordinates then will feel shiok ?

shld be trainee tat time tio whack

wat i call "vicious cycle"

v prevalent in Tekong, understand this cycle nv end... goes round n round

I will say life as a 3sgt in unit is better

heard "Camaraderie" ?

i see 3sgts as a "brother" to his men

someone who to 'look after' especially safety...

Men look for "brothers" who can chiong with them, do things together

they hate the BMT instructors' mentality

well, i address my men as my platoonmates, teammates...

ultimately, we are going to spend at least 10 years together Mr. Green

I_love_my_toilet SG

any one of u actually treated ur men cigarettes ?

it helps Mr. Green
