one thing good that came out of the army for me was that i learnt how to deal with people. i've met all kinds now (i think). we have geniuses, like gerald, kuan rui, glenn, ivan, all super smart yet some of my best friends in camp because they're so down to earth. lazy people like the signal storemen. poor friends. rich friends. hardworking ones like kuan rui and the FE store people. funny ones like guannan. selfish ones. people who talk alot of cock. ones who are slightly off the in mind. ones who act like they are "the man" (when they actually arn't). some people think that when you enter the army, its best to be an officer. i know lance corporals (cough* ivan *cough) that act more officer -like than commissioned people (cough* bso *cough). i know lance corporals and corporals that are smarter and better in conduct than officers. seriously, who grades these things. It doesnt make sense to me. this morning i was on guard duty and was in the Ops room and this warrant officer who is experienced (i mean he's seen it all. and he diffuses bombs and stuff) and super nice was asking this guy who was an officer who was probably 20 years old if he wanted to do something. i looked at that officer and thought "omg, he doesnt know shit." and there he was acting like the was the man. and the warrant has to call that kid "sir". its wrong! all wrong!!!! there. i said it. i do not understand the army.
