mhcampboy SG For me, is an argument I had with a Major. I didnt raised my voice at him, but I did tried to prove a point pretty bluntly and direct. Thus he not happy and it cost me my rank. Lucky for me, I am not from a battalion. Normally, if they know you are from division hq's or something, reasoning can be done. Or else, i think i can face DB already. Oh yar, having a high ranking immediate superior helps a lot too. Come to think of it, if i wasnt too c0cky at that time, all this wouldnt have happened. What is yours?
dragonstar SG My biggest mistakes and those in my battalion: Mine: Having my 155 round landing kilometers (I think) off target into padi field. Pivot piece commander: Firing off a 155 round without orders. No 4 commander: Firing off a 155 round with the wrong charge. RSM (Safety officer): Allowing the gun to be fired off with the wrong charge. No 4 commander: 25 pounder not properly secured and detached from Landrover in just before a traffic junction in Hougang. The landrover crossed over the junction first ... followed by the 25 pounder by itself! No 3 commander: 155 gun not properly secured. The gun unhooked itself in the middle of the junction and crashed onto the road. We had to stop the traffic to hook up the gun again. My driver: Drove too fast and couldn't stop in time, thus slamming into the 155 gun ahead. (Luckily, I did not go to the DB with him. Technically, I was responsible because I was the vehicle commander) Acting BSM (another battery): Leading his battery convoy with 4 x 155 guns to the Causeway.
Ponders SG My biggest mistake... reporting for enlistment at SAF ferry terminal on my enlistment day.
dork3d SG My biggest mistake is to fire that disabling shot on the rioter that caused me seven weeks of free coffee at SAFPU and SIB...
