you know ... dispassionately, from my observations, I sense that
there's a correlation between what a man achieves later on in life,
and his attitude and behaviour during NS ....
I say attitude and behaviour, not achievements, ranks, or
vocation ...
but then that's something one can sense intuitively too .... how
you behave in a day or a month or a year is a microsm of your
attitude throughout your life ....
and it's attitude, not aptitude, that determines a person's
altitude ....
I agree. Some vocations and appointments are indeed worse than
others.
But in the end, it's all about how you want to handle your own
NS experience.
I've seen far too many REMFs with sibeh slack duties and
responsibilities whine about what a terrible experience they've
had, etc etc....
And I've also seen frontline grunts who get a lot of crap tossed
in their faces take it all in their stride and come out more
disciplined and mature.
