He'll get it one day.I just hope it doesn't have to be at the expense of his own men..This is one reason why training must be done with the presence of GSI staff.Originally posted by fudgester:This reminds me of an incident during my NS days....
It was platoon level training for my company at Pasir Laba. As the company medic, I was covering safety. My CO was there, watching the training. It was an extremely hot day.... so much so that one platoon commander and three of his men came down with heat exhaustion.
The platoon medic and I worked feverishly to revive and shoot infusion lines into them. Then, when I ordered evacuation, my CO came up to me and said, 'There will be NO evacuation.'
I tried to protest. After all, heat exhaustion was a serious matter. But to his mind, those three guys were chao-kenging and did not deserve evacuation. My CO then went up to my Encik and the safety officer and told them to block any evacuation requests by me.
When my CO was out of earshot, I pleaded with my Encik to allow it. But he said that he was powerless to do overrule my CO. He just told me to do the best I could do.
And while I was treating the PC, I asked him if he had just recovered from any illness. My CO, overhearing, roared at me:'F**k you, medic! Who cares about that!!?!? You are useless; you don't know how to do your job!!!'
F**k you, CO. People who just recovered from illness are more prone to heat exhaustion and more likely to go on to heat stroke. That was a piece of info I needed. You don't know what I know.
Fortunately, all four recovered. I told the safety officer that I would like to lodge a complaint against the CO; he had after all violated the TSR (I'm pretty sure of this) and unnecessarily risked the lives of his men.
The safety officer told me that if I did that, it would go up the lines to.... CO himself. Not only would he block it, but I would soon find myself in trouble. He advised me to let the matter drop.
I saved people's lives and I got shit for it. When I want to fling the shit back at the culprit, I'm faced with a cover-up.
To the CO: up yours, you a**.
O well, i'm sorry you din screw that CO up.Originally posted by fudgester:This reminds me of an incident during my NS days....

btw les can sign on meh ?Originally posted by commonsense:got lah, in the papers. a small paragraph only. she was my junior batch.
apparently they were preparing for arms drill and someone heard a gunshot in the office. so they went to look and discovered her lying on the ground in a pool of blood though not yet dead. the round was fired from below her chin and came out from the top of her head. one of the few medics fainted when he saw the sight by the way. anyway heard from my junior, she was a les and her 'partner' was her colleague in the same unit. her partner suggested to break up and then bang! last heard, her partner was posted to sch of medicine.
don't think they ever know how she got that 5.56.
Double standards at work. WTF??Originally posted by commonsense:gays need to declare but les dun need mah..
Er, but what happens between gays & lesbians is CONSENSUAL. They don't just hit on anyone and force themselves on him/her.Originally posted by commonsense:of course lah.. gays put together in the same bunk might fuck each other's backside rite.. but les.. what can they do? use rifles as dildo ah?
for gays different lor.. they should declare for their own good also.. instructors or commanders can watch out for them in case they get exploited by those sex-deprived NSmen in their bunk (no fish prawn also good) or kenna blanket party by anti-sissy platoon mates.Originally posted by iveco:Double standards at work. WTF??
