*grumble*

hrmm here comes the end of another week. so i'll be headed back to camp from monday next week to be on duty blahblah... my days in camp are finally coming to a close. despite those ppl from camp not really going to read this i want to have a speech for those guys at work hehehe...so here goes...

it has been a really challenging year to be in there. esp from the beginning when we were still rookies. of course i got slightly pushed around but after sometime got the hang of it. i can't say those were the best of the times, i guess everyone can have fun while suffering.

of course i do enjoy the times when we go for work out in town, regardless of what time of the week it is, dinner time on a friday night, or wee hours before daylight on a sunday. definitely going to miss those experiences cos i know i won't have such chance in future. the ndp and asian aerospace work was an eye opener, with sunburns to remember by.

oh my... back when eric cheang was still around i was so stressed out with him hovering around. when he got posted out i was overjoyed. haha... yes despite LBS being around, he did take care of me. thanks for that really. suppose it's just me and the way i see things, but he does behave like a big brother to me although he does suan and screw me often. ok! screw as in scold. don't get funny thoughts. i still remember once we share cab and he dropped off somewhere first, the uncle asked if he was my brother. =_=

and the times when i do duty in camp... what with answering phone calls, checking stores like there's no tomorrow, honestly i do think my batch had it better off. seriously we manage to check stores pretty much complete in under an hour. which is good. and bad. cos it'd mean we have more time to get arrowed other stuff. hahaha...

it was well worth an experience. these were some stuff that occurred during my batch of guys:

• stay out (yes now stay in but when we just finish our course it just started!)
• duty in camp don't require duty personnel to "answer the phone" (yes now u need)
• did the most extra guard duties in nsf 3sg history, yours truly. 9. beat that.
• lost of one monitored, semi-dangerous item (so far so good no such situation repeat yet)
• saw the coming and going of few figure heads of the unit.
• having a WO who happen to ORD earlier than us. hahaha... TanSC. :P
• after so long, 2 nsf who they decidedly promote from 3ic to 2ic. (namely adams and yours truly. but not wanting to give us 2sg, which was a good thing)
• how many NSFs can truly admit they went to run army half marathon during their 2.5yrs, twice? i can. yes despite having run below the required timing...
• personally i'd experienced a change of direct superiors. (so i was under 2 guys' command. slight difference. but just as demanding. =X)

on an ending note, i just want to voice out. so what the fuck was jeffrey thinking of? so what if anthony wasn't very flexible nor compliant to our requests? everyone in camp asks me that same question when they see me working. "why are you still here?" i dunno man. but i started to clear my leave early, just to slot in 2 weeks of duties for fuck? one week before i ORD and i have to do standby still?! ya so we may not be the guys next door. u may think they bully adams, but the guys next door at least gave him a chance to disappear since august. i started clearing since start of september and i still had to come back to work one last time, next week. wtf "too bad" means? don't tell me u guys can't survive on 3 2ics? why i need to be around? not like one can't go for off still... of course i'd try to be understanding but what you dumbfucks want me to understand? that you need to take longer breaks before i go away and leave you ppl hanging? what kind of mentality is that to squeeze me dry before i ORD? surely there's a better way to resolve the situation such as pressuring the higher authorities to settle the shortfall of personnel. yes i'm blaming jeffrey. no disrespect, but you know you could have done something easily if you had wanted to. but ever since they said there's no such thing as a pl wo all the things you could have done as the senior member of the department you left dangling and just basically stopped being garang. yes you provide welfare or at least sound like you care. the guys feel grateful cos of small things you do but in a way seem to coerce everyone to cooperate or else you will purposely deal with us differently. no it's not personal vendetta. just hope the 3 commanders in the department will better able to help the pc steer the guys in the right direction.

there. done with my grumbling for now. peace.
