Touché!Originally posted by jojobeach:Noticed that Gary Chapman IS another Ang Moh ?
To some extent I can't disagree with you - there are plenty of guys out there who still live in the Stone Age when it comes to gender equality, but then again, having lived in Australia for the last 13 years, I'd say it's not an exclusively Singaporean or even Asian thing. Some guys are just inane chest-thumpers who have no clue, no matter what colour they are. -
Indeed? Don't break any bones thumping your chest, little one.Originally posted by Nikar2:lost track of this post liao....
so, now is it Angel and Jojo VS. final boss Gendakan???!!!
I WILL NUKE YOU!!!!!!!
he's a poor little literature nerd whom all chicks wouldn't even cast a second look.
they would rather busy themselves with old ang-moh literature professors instead.
I wouldn't characterise it as a case of jojo versus me. She's raising some points, and I'm responding. There's no real argie-bargie going on here.
You never answered my question, by the way - where did you serve your NS? Was it in some "real man" vocation? -
Deleted - double post.

No problems, the guys at Mil Nuts and SAF forums already know. I was a demolitions man at 1CDO - real nerd stuff.Originally posted by eagle:Gedanken, where you serve ah? If dun wan to say here can also pm me.

How was your POW training ah? Mine was the batch just before the person died at dunking
-
During my time, there wasn't any formal POW training. I heard some rumour that it had been put on freeze because of some incident that happened before, but that was never confirmed. Not that they didn't sneak it into the training anyway, but you just work to survive that sort of thing.Originally posted by eagle:LRRP ah... Division level wor

Vis-a-vis the dunking case, Pandiaraj was my batch boy and Bala was my drinking buddy. I was majorly honked off when MINDEF left them holding the bag on that one. -

Bala yanked me up from the ground by pulling my long 4, and a button broke.
Heard he got demoted before for *ahem*... Shall not mention here.... Is it true? -
Ah, Bala was rough round the edges (he still is, actually), but he was a great bloke once you got to know him.Originally posted by eagle:

Did you have Chris and Ari as your instructors as well? Those two wild men were from my company too. -
Well, his progress through the ranks was somewhat unsteady. The sad irony was if he'd kept up his old style, he wouldn't have made warrant and he wouldn't have been there to cop the blame when the proverbial hit the fan.Originally posted by eagle:Heard he got demoted before for *ahem*...

I don't remember the other instructors already, only the one with the storyOriginally posted by Gedanken:Ah, Bala was rough round the edges (he still is, actually), but he was a great bloke once you got to know him.

Ah well, may as well get off the topic anyway. I seem to already have hit a nerve with some people in the formation with what I've had to say about the whole sorry affair.

fortunately, i had the ultimate honor of not serving in a "real man" vocation.i served as an assistant General Equipment storeman (CQ) in the SAF Ammo Base.
i hope you didn't serve as some nerdy clerk holed up in an air-con room, or worse still, serve as a infantryman, guard or commando, because when war comes, your family will be throwing small rectangular white papers into the air while the casket entourage walk some distance along the streets of your neighbour.
REJOICE!!!!!!!

Ah, I see. So that's where you were coming from when you wrote:Originally posted by Nikar2:fortunately, i had the ultimate honor of not serving in a "real man" vocation.i served as an assistant General Equipment storeman (CQ) in the SAF Ammo Base.
My God, from the above passage it seems you were making out to be some hero, but as it turns out, you're a weedy little REMF comforting yourself that your pasty butt is safe in some storeroom somewhere while the rest of us do the real work. Fancy that - a wimp calling someone else a nerd.Originally posted by Nikar2:last time when i was in the army, the guys, especially chinese ones, love to whine about how tough it is, how hard, and still keep finding ways to slack, complain, complain, complain, play petty politics....BE A REAL MAN, YA???!!!
Geez, you're a sad case. I'd have suggested that you practice as you preach, but there's really sweet bugger-all chance of you ever becoming a real man.
You're right - as a commando, I could well die on my feet in the event of war. Still, that beats the hell out of living on my knees like you do. -

What happens in war... When everyone has died/the war is over, recce will most likely still be in the forest somewhere. (Reservist recce mostly put on defence recce, very safe one, dun need to worry) -
Hell, eagle, our AO is the safest place to be in the event of war. Being a helluva long way behind enemy lines, we may be far from backup, but the bad guys don't expect us to be there.Originally posted by eagle:Just for information, the motto is: "first to go in, last to come out"

actually not really. The enemy will also send the same troops into our own territory. Everyone knows there is such thing, just whether they manage to detectOriginally posted by Kuali Baba:That info's a tad sensitive, isn't it? -

Yeah, we had to go into double OT to study all the SOPs during BMT until we were OK or we KO'd.
