fr LTA: My e-mail is working again, you can send to this
e-mail a/c. Your
contact list is very good. You are very free. Well
done SOLDIER.
Regards
LTA Denan
fr huai: Thanks for your compliments. But no, I am not very
free, just that it does not take me too long to do
something like that. I'm too efficient, thank you. You
can continue using that "soldier" line on me, but you
only have 6 more days to do that. Anymore references
after that day shall be politely ignored.
Regards,
Huai Wei
p.s. You made a mistake with your rank. It's LTA(NS).
I dun understand why you should call yourself an NSF.
fr LTA: Outstanding don't worry don't let me meet you in camp
during our reservist period. Are you excuse push up, I
hope
not so I can knock you down hahahaahahahahahahaah.
fr huai: Dun worry, dear, coz I'm going to sign on in the
police force. Don't forget to salute to ASP hor.
fr LTA: You sign police I sign army then we should see whose
rank
is bigger. I sign on as a captain, who knows if I have
an
honour, I sign as a Major. One or two year later LTC
then
knock it down ASP. Ha Ha.
fr huai: Oh, but for your info, I am not staying in there for
long. I intend to quit after 2-3 years, then fly off
overseas for an advanced degree/phd, then come back
and work in the gov sector as a civilian. As is
obvious, it's the money I'm after; who gives a hoot
about rank. Anyhow, I doubt u can have a chance at
knocking me down, since I'll be back as a civilian
before u know it. And not a reservist in the Army, but
the police force.
But if all things do not follow as planned, do you
honestly think I'll knock it down at your command?
Laughing is a more likely response you will get. In
the end, seems like I have the last laugh. Ha Ha.
fr LTA: Who knows in the army my rank is much higher then
yours, so
ten years down the row, you may be working outside not
in
the army but in your so call government sector and who
can
tell I may be your superior, by that time I would not
want
you to knock it down instead "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY
SIGHT"
I believe that since my rank in the army is so much
higher
than yours. I can be very "on" in doing things. One
thing
for sure you would definitely go for reservists. Come
on
you think I would knock you down, I would recommend
some
extras for you to do, as you know it is very easy to
get
extras in the army. If fact you can get extras for no
reasons. I think you must also be aware that I could
charge
people as well. SO BEWARE
fr huai: Frankly, I don't know why I bother carrying on this
silly conversation with you, but since we've come thus
far, maybe I'll just give a bit more of my two cents'
worth.
First and foremost, u seem to possess a strange
tendency of putting others down. You apparently attach
a very high value to that rank of yours, but may I
remind you that it is but just a rank as an NSF
(versus a regular) in the SAF (versus Israel's). Big
deal? I don't think so. Hey, I mean, how many times
are you compelled enough to go home from camp in your
full uniform just to show your rank to the general
public during your NSF days? And if you do, you expect
the public to look at you with respect? Please face
reality, friend. This is Singapore, not Taiwan, where
armed forces personnel are treated as national heroes.
So with that misplaced pride on something as mundane
as two small patches of string, you expect others to
regard you with fear? Oh man, I'm so scared....
Second, I find it rather incredulous that I have to
remind you that rules and regulations in the SAF exist
for the cohesive running of the various forces, not as
an instrument to whit the appetites of a lone man's
selfish ego and ambitions. You desire to abuse the
rules hinges on the brink of pure childishness. And I
have some things I need to bring to your attention, in
case you face embarrassment in future: 1. Sure, the
army can be extremely unfair, especially in the days
of full-time NSF, but (oh no!) the reservist period is
a completely different story. There, ranks count next
to nothing, and if anyone tries to play stupid tricks
on me, don't expect me to sit back and accept whatever
is meted out without question. 2. Charge? Yeah, they
are only fines actually. Peanuts when you compare with
your future pay. And of course you need a heck of a
damn good reason to put me in the cell, if you insist.
And finally, you can't charge, only recommend. Do not
assume others do not have assess or don't read
military documents.
Third, I do not see any reason why you need to mention
about being "on". And yeah, of course I'll do
reservists, but not necessarily so in the Army. And
can you stop me from downgrading in future if I have
to?
And finally, I almost laughed when you claim that your
supposedly "Very high" rank is going to mean that you
will excel in the civilian work force. Naive indeed.
Please enlighten me regarding this claim. And please
tell me what you will do if I happen to be your
superior. As for me, I will love to invite you to my
office and listen to all your oh-so-interesting talk
about the way you treat your subordinates during
reservist. I'll love to see just how much joy you can
derive from that.
And come to think of it, it makes me wonder how
someone with such "articulate" use of the English
language can expect to rise up to the pinnacle of
society. Still, I wish you well. Good luck.
Yours,
Huaiwei
fr LTA: Oh so you are saying that my language is lousy. Look
you are
from Serangoon Junior College which is not RJC, NJC
not even
ACJC. So why talk about language, if you are really
that
good then you won't be in Arts and Social Science. Cut
the
crap of telling me that you wanted to study subjects
from
this faculty. The fact is your results sucks just like
your
junior college.
Next according to chapter 295 of the mindef directive
a NS
officer could charge people but first have a valid
reason
and next he got to discuss it with his immediate
superior.
Note I put it as discuss because it is as good as the
guy
would be charged, the only reason to inform superior
is only
for "show". Sorry I forgot to tell you before I
commissioned
I was once out of course and was appointed as a clerk
and
all this directive stuff, I know it at the back of my
hand.
Moreover don't count your chickens before the eggs
hatches,
who knows that you may be earning a lot. You may fail
your
first year in University, you may get retained or this
are
possibilities that might happen. Once again don't tell
me
this would not happen. For people from RJC I think not
but
for people from SRJC it would be hard to say.
In addition just for your info if I sign on, even by
the
time I retire, I would be guaranted a place in the
civil
sector. The pay would somehow be the same as what I
earn.
But for you, you won't sign on because you don't have
the
rank, next I doubt you would have the physical ability
to
endure lastly as you are from SRJC, I doubt you have
the
capabilities.
Lastly, charge, extra duties and confinements are very
common among NS MEN. In fact it is very easy to get
these
punishments. So I don't understand why you are saying,
I
can't punish you. Try complaining in the army and see
what
happen. Wow, are you thinking about downgrading, I
think you
better not, becos I do not want to have a friend that
wanted
to escape reservist by downgrading WHERE ARE YOUR
BALLS.
I find it insulting and time consuming actually to be
talking to you. Yet there are some facts which I wish
to
highlight to you.
1. I am an officer while you are not
2. You may not be as successful as what you think
3. You can't escape the fact of having reservist
unless YOU
HAVE NO BALLS.
4. I do not wish to say this again I am an officer
while you
are NOT. This is already the fact which can't be
changed.
Yet what you had told me all the while was only what
you
intend to do but not exactly the fact.
I certainly hope that you must accept the fact that I
am an
officer and you are not. So what if I am a NS man, THE
FACT
IS MY RANK IS HIGHER THEN YOURS. Be in army for so
long even
for people from Yishun Junior College they should be
able to
understand that rank counts in the army so I see no
reason
for someone from SRJC not to understand it.
