Quoted Band of Brothers :Originally posted by pufferfish_79:The day you were born, you were born into an unequal world. Some poor souls did not even have a chance to be born into this world. To quote the Lt from the band of Brothers show, " The sooner you accept the fact that you are dead, the sooner you can function as a soldier " something to the like, forgot the exact lines, watch a yr ago. Accept the fact that the world will never be equal. like what a bro had pointed here, Serve and F*** off. That way will be easier to start your ORD date count down... Accept it like a man. And do what you believe in. I believed in protecting my loved ones and my assets, that why I will be fighting beside my comarades, for my loved ones.
wats the point of having a slack BMT in the first place ?Originally posted by wocc:maybe tch son bmt was slack, but now he is in delta wing platoon 3 ocs. same platoon as my brother. i called home yesterday and found out that the ocs instructors are not giving him special treatment. instead he get it a lot worse than the rest of them. so maybe his bmt was a little slack. but it shouldnt be the case for ocs. cos delta is always the wing choosing the safos and sms scholars. its field camp is 10day compared with the rest of the wings, so u cant say its slack now.
white horse treatment is different, you cant blame the system alone, sometimes as instructors, u dont want your ass chewed off just cos u were a little too harsh. this is ppl's career u are talking abt.
anyway unfair treatment exist throughout your entire life, complain a while, then move on. its really no use thinking abt it and making yourslef unhappy for the rest of your NS. just look on the bright side of things.![]()

Of course poorer folks have to take this kind of unequal treatment.
But you don't have to take it quietly.
I served with one of our former president's son for a short time. After failing horribly at OCS he was kicked down to private clerk. For a president's son not to be able to pass OCS despite all the slack they cut him, he must be a really hopeless case.
And he was.
As a private, he was able to drive to camp and park his car not 3 spaces from the Bde Comd's car. He was a sotong dumbfcuk but he was competent enough to drive.
All the officers and even the dog-shxt CSM treated him like gold. As I was a corporal and also at an age where I felt I had nothing to lose, once or twice I gave this fellow a piece of my mind as he was extremely blur-king and lazy.
So stop complaining about unfair treatment. If you think someone has it better than you go do something about it. Scold them, harrass them just don't beat them or you're gone case. Me and my friends all did while growing up. It was a great way to get back at society.
We all would want to protect our children when we become parents, but sometimes we have to realise that making a grey pasty jelly out of them is not protecting them at all, but rather indirectly killing them.Originally posted by Ara:but let us for one moment dream that there are no white horse treatment in the saf. there is no preferential treatment for people with branded parents, how more effective the saf would be.
but personally i think the white horse treatment will always be here because influential people will want to protect their children. our life is cheap while their live is expensive.
