delusions of grandeur

back in OCS, the instructors used to keep on saying and drilling into us that we are the creme de la creme. 1st day into the camp, and 1st thing the instructors, from Commander OCS right down to the section instructors, would be "you are the top select of your age group in Singapore" or the likes, blah blah blah.

i seriously wonder among every batch of cohort intake into the school, how many cadets really buy into that piece of crap.

i mean seriously, just taking a look around the faces in the school, you expect me to believe that we really are the so called best of our batch? i'm not proud to say it, but its still a fact. hell, all the tests in the school, paper wise, were freaking hard i'd admit(when you have only 3days max beforehand to prepare for a test), but i'd have to say, the enforcement wasnt. i copied my way through school. there's a lot of things to say about the whole school, but i'd rather not elaborate.

in my opinion, the smartest and best soldiers arent from those in OCS or officer corps. the smartest people have to be the clerks. not that i'm totally against them, but you only need to look at some of them. most of them are probably triple A students back in school who have figured how to keng through the army and enjoy a non-gruelling non-physical life of the army.

fuck, i bet if you go through all the buff guys who have left the service, 90% of them would most probably have been in the service side of the army, never relly going through the combat side. chao keng kias....
