It's that Close to ORD!!

It's that Close to ORD!!!
March is just round the corner..... It has been quite a wait for this month to arrive....

ORD

After 1 yr and 5 mths stint in my unit, yesterday is my last work day. Happy of course, and strangely, without feeling any bit of nostalgia.
I believe the 2 1/2 yrs' break from school life has benefitted me.... I would like to say something about our service to the nation, with positive or negative impact on SAF, starting from no.18:


Mr Bai, Percussionist in Military Band ( +ve )
Saw him once during my Sispec POP, playing drum. Had always been good with holding sumthing in hand and hitting it..... "Oops"... He did his band proud by not collapsing on POP, especially with those gu niang OCT fainting on the actual Parade in front of the President... 3 cheers for the cadets!!!.... And Well-Done Jia Min

Mr Chee YH, Primus Gunner aka Arty Man ( +ve )
Honoured as the 1st batch of 'A' lvl mono intake in Arty, Chee has been labourious. In addition to his training in army, he got himself a PS2 for firing simulation to perfect his accurancy and playing WarCraft to develop more strategy.... This type of self motivated man where to find.....

Mr Chee ZH, Tech Spec In Jurong ( NA )
Sorry to say that I'm not really sure what's ZH's job. Juz know that he pass out from OETI, so I suppose he is a Technician Sergeant lor.... Rather than commenting on his contribution to SAF, I would say that the only tech spec in our class should thank the army for acquiring another skill.

Mr Chen, Medic ( -ve )
Initially posted to NDU, then fall out and post to Sch of Medic to learn how to poke people... During his army day, gotten to know about MLM and embark in this field. Maybe you have saved lives lah, but then where got boss let their staffs moonlight 1....

Mr Loh HH , injured officer ( -ve )
This officer rightfully should be confined on the Island of Recruit, but then heng heng becum the range conducting officer, only know how to command pple to fire. At a turn of the tide, he broke his leg, slack at home and still receive officer pay.... Though he made amends by splurging on useless items and taxi fare to boost SG's economy, he's still guilty of wasting taxpayer money...

Mr Lin, ITI Comd PA ( +ve )
I tot Comd PA should be indian or malay, cuz it's the trend in my unit.... Maybe WT is dark enuff.... Don't really understand PA's duty, but then it's not a simple job... With a straight A's student becuming your PA, any boss would have little to complain about lor.....

Mr Ma, Downgraded Clerk in Engr ( -ve )
Originally a fit kia, but then he chose to be downgraded.... And with this, he miss out on the lucrative risk pay that he had been drooling for.... Clerical work should be a small case for our admin lawyer, but the big picture is that SAF loses out as more fit kia opts for downgrade...

Mr Ong SK, BCTC Officer ( +ve )
Crossing over from SISpec to OCS is not easy sia, but SK had always been motivated in becuming and officer, so that he can sign on.... I could sense that money is the key word here, however, his decision can be a win-win situation for many of us, including SAF..... Mr Ong, pls work hard if you sign on, so that you can be promoted to LTC or COL be4 our kids go to army....

Mr Seow, Serving in ADA ( NA )
High Tech..... Not sure what he does, most probably like doing COS doing shift work in taking care of the system bah...

Mr Tay, Arty Spec ( +ve )
Instructor bah, no really sure whether it's xiong anot, but then I'm sure that he will fulfil his role... Maybe Wei Ming has more opinion to share since they are of the same unit...

Mr Teo, Admin Spec in NSmen Camp ( very + ve ) "Haha"
Absurdly, I had 2 letters of commendation, with a 3rd before I get my IC....
Haha, don't ask me why, I just do slightly more than my job scope. Maybe my bosses are appreciative of my work. My philosophy has always been " I'm only in charge of beautifying the surface, even if the inside is rotting".

Mr Ye Wei Ming, Arty Man ( -ve )
A guy who should be good in written English, but then hor only speak Chinese. Mr Wei Ming downgraded to siam IPPT. Corny as always, he's in the midst of getting a driving license... Like I said previously, Wei Ming, wo men kao ni kai che de hor....

Mr Eric, Ammo IC in PLAD ( +ve )
Big size Eric has shrunk significantly in NS.... I always feel that pple in Ammo Depot are suay kia sia, especially got units like mine whom always change initial intend just to cut down return.... I would like to extend my apology...

Mr Yeo JW, OCT bah... (NA)
Not really sure if he's an OCT or Spec trainee... Too bad he still had a long way to go in army, but then this is life lor. The bright side is he got a gf to phone to at nite lor.... Whilst most of us here dun have.... Haizzz....

Mr Zeng, Armour Spec in a damn isolated camp.... ( +ve )
Had told us how unjust he was treated, this guy sure had learnt more about the different sides in life. Gaining the hippy side by going to club, getting fitter by climbing up and down staircase and kana unreasonably confined by under-achiever whom you had to greet him just becuz you are in army....

Finally can conclude liao, after spending 1+ hr typing this mail, would like appeal to those who are clearing leave now that we should be organising more activities during this period, especially wkdays, in celebration of our returning freedom.....
