no.3 easy to get f for untidy...

LazerLordz SG

No NS Unit.

dkcx SG

Wah so no need serve reservist ah

chanjyj SG

Not to mention half the time the system is slow/lag or even crash Mad

dkcx SG

Thanks for reminding me about that... With all the shit i had to clear and help/teach transport to clear, lag was 1 of the least of my worries. When system is down i simply get an official excuse to slack in office to start OT once system is up which happens too often for comfort...

OT was commonplace during LMIS' existence. In fact, sometimes the system was such a cock that I wondered if I should simply convince my boss to let me work from 2pm to 11pm.

Always ended work at 11pm, sometimes 0030. Laughing

I try my best to finish work by 11.30am-aka the start of lunch at cookhouse, then would always take away 1 extra packet.......

..........then I head off to sleep on my sofa till 3, then take my second tapao-ed lunch as a snack.... read some newspapers, look at the clock, pack my bags and ready to go at 5.30pm Laughing
(this was the later part of my SAF life)

I never have to work past 10 cos my MSG card access was limited from 7am to 10pm each day. It was only later by the time i was leaving that they applied for a 24hr licence but most of my OT were done by then.

Normally i go to lunch at 11.30 to beat the crowd and return to office by 12 to continue working. I don't go for tea breaks so i use all these time to finish up my work to try minimise the need for OT unless last minute something coop up or worse system down and suay suay recover before 5.30. Till my last day in camp i didn't have the luxury to just spent the whole day in office sleeping even though i spent the last 2-3 days more monitoring and teaching than really working since i left the work to them and start training after they finish what they need do.

Even for me as a medical centre medic, I don’t take tea breaks as it sometimes take lot of paper work. Usually, 1 week I need to go CMPB at least once until abt 1630. Only in my last 6 months when my understudy can handle my job scope, I took early tea break with my 2IC in the canteen. Lunch also start early as we have the previlige to da pao in lunch boxes from the cook house from the officer side and sometime extra dishes due to the good relationship between us and the cook house IC.

dkcx SG

My understudy only came less than a month before i leave and during that period there was over a week they were sent out for sai kang since i only managed to fight and kept them back for 1 day out of all the days they were supposed to go. Including my own leaves n offs, i had less than 10 days to train them and from someone who dunno the entire ES system and transport/maintainance workflow, they had to master everything in that short time period which i won't say was easy. They didn't learn everything 100% but if they managed to absorb 75% of all the things i taught them i think it would already be gd.

tarutaru SG

ha....when I left, heard that my understudy did not pick up all I teach him at all. Laughing

dkcx SG

After 6 months... thats bad. I heard my understudy not doing well as well cos of the 2, the better 1 got posted out and the weaker 1 stayed. However with just 10 days or so of training, i can't really blame them for something i took half a year to self study and practice to learn. Even with guidance, they still lack the experience which is something they need depend on themselves.

tarutaru SG

Well I guess sometimes it's like a crash course, although half a year seem long, but if you take out the leaves, offs, wkend and holidays out you practically left with only 2-3 months to take over. That's what happened to my understudy. Did not pick up quick enough also did not ask for advice before I left so I presume he know everything.

LazerLordz SG

After I ORDed, I still got calls from my replacement. For three months. Laughing

dkcx SG

Of my 2 understudies, the 1 that will call me when he dunno stuff is the better 1 who gets posted out. The 1 left is the 1 that got problem he also won't call and i need call him to check if hes doing well before i know all the things that is messed up. After i left unit only had 1 call from the better understudy and after he posted out, no more calls liao but is that meaning everything going on smoothly? I don't think so...

dkcx SG

i was afraid my understudies didn't know their work well so i forced them to make flowcharts etc of many of the more complicated work processes and through their flowcharts i corrected their errors so hopefully if they keep those flowcharts, it will help them.

I even gave them a test on my last day in camp with some situation base and theory base questions :p It was my last chance to gauge their ability and its from that i hope theres at least 75% in them since i know its not 100% definitely.

Hendon camp’s pes E clerks also need to stay in and only book out on friday. Their job is 8 to 5 daily, after that go back bunk.

chanjyj SG

Eh.. How come I always see a bunch (same people) walking out of there everyday in No. 4 and No. 3 and some even civies (I think they PES E excuse uniform or haven't gotten uniform/nametag yet)... I travel past there on a regular basis

strado SG

Maybe they going for lunch or something? I'm not sure, my friend is a pes E clerk there, and he told me he only get to book out on friday.

chanjyj SG

Around 5.30pm-6.30pm time.. maybe you ask your friend what is happening?
