dun mind i just dupli-post here ah...

yay im so happy to b back in singapore!
not cuz i'll b able to escape army, but because im simply bored and abhor the drag n drear of tekong and miss singapore.

a somewhat (alotwhat) different but simple insight into another side of army life. cuz its PES C life for the physically (some mentally) disabled n impaired.
what u get if u're in pes c. i dunno if its the same for the other platoons but at least for taurus plt 2.
1. u're allowed to complain reasonably n most of the time u're given the benefit of the doubt. most commonly used phrase by them- "anyone not feeling well, u better sound off... dont garang act tough"
2. in one way or another, get about 5-6 hours of admin (free) time a day till u get sick of ur bunk n bed
3. all bark n hardly any bite, all buzz n hardly any sting
4. i told them the doc told me i had a mild spine problem (its the truth arh) but i felt a-okay. they excused me from carrying the field pack

but our pay stops at $300-400, we dont get to go SOC/OCS/n all the other interesting stuff. thats y most of the pes c r unmotivated to serve esp in tekong... although im sure we indicated otherwise in the survey. for me even worse i dont get to shoot live (real) rounds or throw grenade because im impaired in the ear. only get to play imt- some arcade-simulation of the live range. n of course, im not expecting much of an experience from field camp.

thats y army life for me is simply put, i confess, sort of a poorly-organised boring chalet. just hurry up, let me ORD n go to university.

Have you ever wondered
Why must we serve
Because we have no choice,
And we want to be freed, to be freed yah
