Have you ever seen an officer help his men do fatigue work?

Marco_Simone SG

Have you? If yes,please name your unit!

Or am I dreaming? All I had seen so far were officers sniggering at their men for doing such a lowly task...

kopiosatu SG

my friend, yes… khatib camp

thoreldan SG

very very seldom...
usually are the specs who are helping

Marco_Simone SG

Seriously,I seldom see SISPEC trained specs helping out either.They rather stay one side and contribute their eye power! Anyway,such matters are beneath me now coz I

ORD loh!

freedom4ever SG

last time at 3rd division i saw those warrant officers, majors and some staff sergents doing it.

at first i thought something is wrong either with my eyes or what.

then i look around and i saw BG Loh Wai Keong standing there. WTF Question

Mao x 2 SG

yes.. sometimes.

Marco_Simone SG

*Yawnzzz* Just one big scam...

LazerLordz SG

Yes.My PC at BMT Recourse.He cleared the road of debris with all of us. Laughing

freedom4ever SG

yah lor. those regular can go join mediacorp. best 'supporting' actor.

specfore SG

In the reserves, the junior officers (LTAs ) and specs will help out. Can’t stand around supervising too much. Most infantry men have a lot to do already. If they can’t finish the job, we are also in sh…t ! That’s how I saw it.

kopiosatu SG

anyway in my shift, all the SSG, MSG and even 1WO work with the men. And its manual labour.

cairocks SG

Yes! My PC in my reservist unit. Very Happy

If he does not need to rush off to prepare for some debriefing, he would be helping us unload store when our jeep return from training and had seen him just took some rags to wipe dry those stores that were soak in the rain.

His theory is that we are all back for ICT whether we like it or not, so let's do a good job while we are in it and get out in one piece. An officer that I am willing to salute from the heart and not just for action only.

Slywong SG

Yeah, why not.......

Company 2IC (CPT), 2 officers, CSM, 4 PS (including myself as I was Butt OIC), Specs and men of 425 SAR 'B" Coy and HQ attached personnels climbed up Khao Yai to set up Butt in Crescendo for Lima Foxtrot at temperature of 30-42 degree C.........

For 3 days......up and down we go....carrying iron pickets, monkey ramp, oil drums, target boards, pick axes......the gradient is steep that we need to climb up on all fours.......

Everybody came back like chilli crab.......sun burnt....

LazerLordz SG

Same here.All ranks work and sweat it out in my ex-unit too. Laughing

Marco_Simone SG

I tell you,NSMen officers and NSF officers are different.Anyone seen any NSF officers doing it?

LazerLordz SG

Me. Mad

zanshin SG

any Officer worth his salt should join in,

i remeber my first LRI with a skeleton unit, my regular S4, RSM, BSM, NSF QM and MTO officers together with drivers, storeman, clerks all join in to clean and oil the our arty guns on a sunday. Same thing happen during preparation for NDP the next year, that one even more coolie work.

LazerLordz SG

To lead, you must lead from the ground.

hisoka SG

got do but only when its like alot of work. thats what i noticed. makes sense anyway not their job so called to help in normal/minimal work

Marco_Simone SG

I remember during one of the ranges for my unit(it was ORD range for me),got many 19 yr old air level sect coms stood one side,TCSS while watching their men fill up sandbags and carry them to the firing area.I being a non SISPEC trained spec and who rose through the ranks understood how it is like to be a man,so I helped them out.The sect coms gave me a puzzled look and carried on their TCSS sessions totally oblivious to the hard work their men were putting in while carrying the heavy sandbags.

Oh yes,range admin stuff like tables,documents,the sect coms also lazy to carry and set up...

My unit was really fu-cked up.After range,all the PSOs,OCs,ordered pizza and went to the mess to relax.Their rifles need to clean right? Well,you know who did it for them.

Thank goodness I'm outta that fu-cked up place!

ORD loh!
