on a more light-hearted note....
Yes I must say the army has become quite soft with inconsistent standards and appalling levels of motivation across the board boiling down to fundamental issues involving more often than not the willingness to fulfill the NS obligation. I've seen people abusing the attn B and C tags and excuse tags... I've seen people totally decide to slack their time away in accordance with their philosophy: "either the top or the bottom, never get stuck in the middle" And they are in considerable number unforuntately and nothing can be done about it without it being labelled as draconian. (hmmm....) Its no wonder people (who I don't know) go around saying with supreme confidence that singapore's army is no more than a paper tiger.
But before I get charged by someone over my comments on a blog, I must say that these people have no attain critical mass and are indeed far from it. I must say we've understood much from these months... many a time they were very cliche but real lessons which were relearnt at a higher level of appreciation. Many of my sgts say NS is a lot about self-discovery and challenge.... that we should not keep distracting ourselves about what's going to happen after NS. (Almost all of them are regulars though so do take note). Take the percentage applicable to you I guess.
And I must erase this abhorrent image that only those that cmi sign on for the army. I see a great deal of capable sgts who have signed on.... unfortunately they are stuck in a certain system that doesnt give much credit or recognition to the work they do... often being the scapegoats or punching bags for those in the higher echelons. Some of them are the most patient and tolerant people I've seen.... but of course, not all :)
we are the unwilling doing the unnecessary for the unappreciative. I dunno. I'm sure many people would beg to differ though...
Finally we reach the part that justifies the title of the post :) I was given this puzzle to stop me from sleeping in a, I swear, immensely boring lecture on leadership. What is the next number?
1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221...
when you're average, you're as close to the bottom as you are to the top, ryan
