amazing things i've learned from the army!!!

hey, since i'm quite bored at home, i shall write about the amazing things that i've learned from the army...

only in the army that you'll find so much variety of ppl that you'll be astounded and you'll start asking yourself that "WHAT!!! THIS TYPE OF PPL ACTUALLY EXISTS???". the reason that you can only meet them in the army is that in the working world, there's something called Job Interview... while the army just lumped everybody [dog, cat, mouse and shit] together...

intelligence has it's limits but stupidity knows no bound - banedon chan

the above sentence applies best to the army better than any place that i've known. there are ppl so stupid that even equipments that are "idiot proof" can't save them and i dun mean those who are spastic but ordinary ppl like you and i.

equipments that are specially build for army use even thou are very rugged but in the hands of a soldier will get spoiled easily. sometimes i wonder is it because of wear and tear or just plainly the lack of intelligence shown by the soldiers. they should build something called "soldier proof". it's a few grades higher than "idiot proof".

Portable - this word is very subjective cause different ppl interpret differently. manufacturers interpret it is as being able to be carried by soldiers regardless of weight and size. to soldiers, it means less than 20 kg and briefcase size. some equipment thou labeled "portable" weighs freaking more than 30kg and so huge that even thou you can carry but it's only for like 10metres. if that means portable, well then i got nothing to say...

the length that ppl will 'keng' and get themselves out of army or assigned to a lesser role will shock you too... we should give these fellas oscar awards for their acting. one classic example from my experience: a private who strenuously denies that he knows computer [dun know how to use, can't type etc] and his daily job is to be a cleaner, paper shredderer [a person who brings useless papers to be shred], buys breakfast for ppl, he can't even carry heavy stuff, will dislocate shoulder. guess what??? when he ord, he wore business attire, setup a PC company...

i wonder whether some medical officers are intelligent or plain stupid, from the type of excuse that they give to the serviceman, i believe it's the latter... eg like excuse from sunlight??? what the fuck! we got vampires enlisted in the army!

all the talk by the 2nd minister of def, a mr cedric i think, about no white horse in the army is all bullshit. those in the army will swear by it. the ministers and perm secs are on a different dimension while we from another... therefore, things we kanna and saw are different from them...

you'll be shock by some of the intelligence of our officers too... and their lack of balls... i think this is a culture of our younger generations that dun dare to take calculated risk or stand by their decisions so they dun dare to make decisions or commit them. they rather follow orders from the top without going thru the brain [safer option]. compared to five yrs ago, where ppl are more streetwise/gungho, refused to be bullied and fight for equality... now, if kanna shitted on, they'll say it's fated and they happens to be unlucky... where's the fighting spirit and what happens to the men below him?

army deducts pay very much faster than they reimburse you and i mean the difference of a few months. if the army realised that they pay you too much, they'll deduct from you immediately or from the incoming paycheck but if they owe you money, you can wait for a few months to for them to pay you. the moral of this para is - you can die but cover own asshole is more important!
