One of my bunk buddies recalled what happened 1 morning when everyone was super lethargic and uncooperative. One of his BMT sergeants approached the problem in a jaded manner. Welding his anger as a tool, he calmly said the following in a lyrical manner:Early morning.. Cannot double, cannot echo, cannot shout...Fun, fun, fun!~ --- ME: Eh, you ever thought about quitting smoking anot? Yass: (serious face) ... ... I am not a quitter man. ME: -_- ... That's a right kind of attitude for a wrong kind of thing xia. --- Most satisfying sentence I heard in the entire past week: "Gentlemen, you have done well." - Warrant Chia (somewhat begrudgingly), during a debrief after we managed to pass our SOC on Wednesday. Most demoralising sentence I heard in the entire past week: "You have failed yourself." - My ego, after I failed miserably for the same SOC 2 days later, due to a combination of factors like muscle strains/fatigue/loss of mental focus/UFOs/lame excuses. --- Words I never knew existed & their meanings: "Stun" - I always thought it meant THIS. Only knew it meant THIS too when every other army guy started to use it that way. "UP" - I still don't know what this means in army-talk context. Apparently its versatile & adaptable for almost every situation, good or bad. Just like that other word. You kena last minute guard duty? UP lah! We are given extra free time to relax later? UP lah! "Horlan" - To be lost. Wait. When you are doing topigraphic navigation out in the field, don't use the word "Lost". "Disorientated" is more |
