av98m SG It was fun doing BMT wearing corporal's stripes. Confused the hell out of the fresh recruits
av98m SG And my buddy was a 3rd sergeant! (Regular driver doing BMT again after kena injured the first time)
elindra SG AV a clerk How did they screw up on that CSJ? Sometimes I think there is a conspiracy behind it all He is planted and paid by the PAP to be in the opposition party I mean think about it...with all the lawsuits and stuff he has to pay for He should be bankrupt so many times over that he just disappear from the face of the earth But he is like one happy flying cockroach that no amount of pesticide can get rid off
the Bear SG was his name Jim? okay okay... i'll stop there for the day in the army, i was the guy the platoon or squad would refuse to go into combat without
Fatum SG I'd buy the version that says he's in the pay of some foreign country .... he's a gadfly for sure ... but I don't think the PAP's into masochism ...
elindra SG I wonder if the PAP is smart enough to create the theory that he is in pay of some foreign country as a smoke bomb Hmmmmm
av98m SG I know. During some recreational event some of my officers were looking at me suspiciously while I was doing chinups. Even during the pre-enlistment medical, the MO was also looking at me suspiciously. But seriously, I'm not a malingering kengster. I can show you exactly why the next time we meet up. I think CSJ is a plant too, or he has some funny outside funding that's keeping him alive.
elindra SG Ya man. When I look at your physique and know that you buddy build it's hard to imagine and you certainly don't look like some sick chicken Ok sure show me
sbst275 SG It's more likely he's being paid, dun forget abt some that have left the country And now he's a bankrupt, looking in another viewpoint, whatever he said, he can't be punished with a fine, so he has nothing to lose what
av98m SG But there were some poor bastards who were practically half-crippled (cannot stand straight, head bent at funny angle, weird walking posture, some had fits etc) forced to serve NS as clerks. I felt that they should have been excused altogether.
the Bear SG yeah.. notice my total indifference to needles and good sense i was a combat medic... now downgraded to heck, i'm still a combat medic... in a combat vocation, in a combat unit, but nowhere near medically combat fit
sbst275 SG They wait till someone really mati then they start to get scared off... But I dun think it would really deter them
Fatum SG the modern day clerks are a different breed altogether .... I remember this clerk who's hated by everyone .... he was an athelete from RJC, but he's downgraded because of leg injuries, yet at the same time, he was getting time offs for "track and field training" !!!! ..... *ptui ! ... I still maintain my stand ... that one's attitude towards NS is a great reflection of one's character and one's attitude towards work in the future ...
av98m SG that's the army for you. we had one guy in one unit get downgraded but to his horror they kept him in the same unit with the same combat vocation the bloke tried to commit suicide
