Asking too much?

Piin SG

Is it really that hard for officers to take some time off replying sms's from their men regarding camp schedules? I had a couple of sms's sent to my officer and I was replied with a you know you ask alot of questions; when all I was trying to do was to make sure that I had interpreted that sms right to prevent any prevental errors which I might make on my side. Who knows? Any officers would like to explain what's really so difficult about answering sms's? To those who are wondering why I didn't call, it's because last I remembered, his phone couldn't be used to talk.

ps/ and if you're my officer who's reading this. really that difficult to respond to sms's?

imagine if everyone in the company sms him asking the same question, if i were him, i will get very pissed off too.

thing is, if the officer had already briefed u on what is to be done, u should jolly well know what to do. if necessary take down notes or ask on the spot face to face and not via sms.

it will give the person the impression that "i have already explained it, why are u asking again? have u been paying attention or not?"

camp schedules? you could have asked the COS? Such matters are published in the BRO and CRO.

Sorry, perhaps I didn't state my question correctly.

1) He changed the schedule last minute, sms'ed another platoon mate of mine who is supposed to come back with me to inform me. The information wasn't in the CRO/BRO.

2) All I got was the info the come back to camp via sms from that platoon mate who wasn't all too sure either. All I did was to sms to confirm stuff since I remembered that his phone couldn't accept calls.
