I am thinking of discipline in another sense. Due to the dropping of discipline lvls in schools, on can predict and guess how this teenagers will behave when they are in the uniformed organisation. I mean parents this days dun even discipline their child when young, allowing them run around in MRT, when their children are punished in sch, they immediately make a big din to MOE or the press. It is because of these over pampering and over protective parents, the teenagers are not ready for the regimental life in army. I ORD for 3yrs liao. During my time, do 60-80 pushup during area cleaning is a norm, proning,pumping,situp at 3 in the afternoon is a norm. But just before the next mono came in........... I got a great shock. The CO gathered the commanders and warned them abt "abuses". Guess wad is considered "abuses", doing more than 20 pumping, "run and touch charlie or etc...."
Can you believe it, he considers this as abuse!!!!
Btw, I am just curious to noe the quality of training of ROC troops. How do they fair generally during ex? Any comments or knowledge on this issue?
