Pretty much, the previous week, i was stuck in camp, going through CAT ( Combined Arms Term) . So, what did i do there? Pretty much, just physical education in the morning, followed by dialog sessions and end it with another sports games. This went on for 5 days. Well, it's true that thanks to them, i do have a better understanding of what those guys gone through but still... the course did left a sour taste in my mouth..
After all, wouldnt u be feeling pissed or annoyed if someone just insulted your job, or in my case, my vocation and that someone just happened to be the COA (Chief of Army). Maybe i am just too sensitive to matters relating to money but basically he was asked a few questions, one of them was from one of my friends, asking why is it that, even though we have such a huge responsibility, we are still bounded by our IPPT requirement and why we cant be raised to our SGT rank on the spot??
This ans was that basically in the army, we are just not that important, the important guys are the infantry, not the recces, not the medics, not the signallers but just the infantry and that's why those guys will be given their combat bonus and why they will be able to be promoted to SGT regardless of their PES status.
Next, someone was asking if combatants are given risk bonus, why dont drivers get them as well, after all, getting into an accident is serious crap. Again, he gave the same answer..
Basically, throughout the whole session with him, he's just doing what PAP do best... Talk without thinking... Of all the things he can learn from Singapore GOD, he had to learn that....
Fine, but seriously? You as the chief of army and even you are looking down on us? The backbone of the army?? I guess we see if you will change your tune if we were in a war and OH LOOK... i am unable to process your request, so no food, no water, no ration, no tentage for you .... You want vehicles??? I am sorry, but since we are that unimportant to u, i guess you could always ask the combatants to just walk to their spot. Oh shit? you need intel on your enemies?? Sorry, i guess since we are not that important at all in the first place, we are just gonna let u do it... Ass...
