Yesterday, my first batch of trainees passed out. Didn't manage to go for the parade even though I wanted to, due to FAOCC trainings. Looking at some of their facebook comments about them passing out made me rather disappointed. I wondered if it was due to the instructors' poor ability to manage this small group of trainees or was it just purely their attitude towards the course. I recalled being at least rather happy and proud to finally pass out as a specialist, even though, not as an officer. But I could see the pride and joys of being a specialist, things that an officer could never get to experience and do. Rank was never an issue, as I knew that respect needed to be earned, whereas rank was just this flabby piece of cloth we all wear on our uniform. So far, I've seen my fair share of things in the army. I believe nobody dare disagree with me that a cui officer is still better than a zai spec/man. Seriously, some man are much better than officers and they end up being man perhaps due to their educational level. This is one part which I disagree with how the army operates, splitting the rank system into officers and wospecs.
3 more days of exsafari then it's finally..
SUMMERLULL!
