Quick Rant

[muppetx]

The SAF administration officially sucks. I just received a call-up for Jan 2008. Now this sort of thing is not supposed to happen because it's right smack in the middle of term time. From my understanding, this sort of thing never happens because the SAF plans all of their ICT trainings and what-not such that it all coincides with the major term

I've been a manpower officer for half of my NS life, of course I've always known about the lack of cerebral matter within the organisation...

I am only ranting.

As for your previous encounters, I don't think I remember you ranting about them.

And if have ever had to defer from a call up, you will realise that that is the only way to do it (short of your uncle being some big shot in the government).

And lastly, I don't slam the phone on people, it's very uncouth.

yar i noe ur ranting..

previous encounters not on lj...on blogspot one..
well i deferred before and i called the hotline before i had to send an email to them..
i didnt have to touch their website a single bit..

and yar i dun slam the phone on people also..
i was just saying it as a joke and also to make u feel better in a way..

Re: oh please....

Well, slamming the phone on people is hardly possible nowadays, what with the advent of new-agey hands-free electronic residential phones and cell phones. All one can do is to press down on the tiny Cancel button very, very hard.

Okay, that was a side-along rumination; feel free to ignore the frivolity of it all. =P

wow

i oso got pissed with SAF, cuz the makaned me credits worth S$130?? yeah... yet to get it back.

Re: wow

[firmboy]

Well...credits have a one year cycle, which are always taken back by the SAF. Granted, you may not have known at the time, but I am sure that your S$130 is gone forever.

Next time just make sure you spend all the credits before the cycle is up lor.

ICTs need not coincide with major term breaks of local universities. No such practice from my understanding.

It would be more favourable for you to apply for disruption under IHL via the institute, in your case NUS. This information should be communicate to you by the institution since enrolment. Otherwise, it would be your responsibility to find out more if you wish to disrupt from reservist. Disruption from reservist is entirely optional, even when one is a full-time student in an IHL. There is nothing stopping you from going for your Jan 08 ICT.

Your predicament is more of NUS's inadequateness imo, and not that of your unit.

[muppetx]

Hmm...yeah...I wasn't really complaining about my unit...I love my unit.

Yeah, and I didn't know that it was the university's responsibility to inform us about such matters (unless of course I missed out some tiny paragraph in the 'Welcome to NUS' booklet. LOL!

Ah well...always nice to get a nice mature perspective on the matter. =P
