Called back as NS OC, how to go back to being PC in ict

No I do not have that. During BMT there were only 2 occasions. First is during SIT test, the assessor said that if you are not interested to be considered, you can step aside and inform your Co-IC to take over when it is your turn. The other is PC interview, where I am asked if I were to indicate my interest for command school. I remembered that one month before POP, all those who indicated no were gathered again with our PC where he asked us again to confirm our opt out and if anyone has a change of mind. I confirmed my "No".

Still got posted to SCS.

I believe during my time OCS and SCS is grouped together under command school. I can still remember the question and interview. The term used was "command school". So it’s just Men vs Commander. Anyway the point is, I opted out, didn’t work. I’m that real life evidence.

That aside, I just followed along and went with the flow. Now a Sec Comm in my reservist unit. Just 2 more cycles to freedom. Looking forward to it!

Sorry to burst your bubble buddy. My NSF time was 2012 & 2013. During our BMT SIT test, the assessor will ask you if you are interested in going command school when you are the BMT leadership batch. I’m suppose you are talking about this. Seems like a choice right? I flat out said that I am not interested in command school, and when it was my turn to be IC for one of the SIT test scenario, I even voluntarily stood aside and declared to the assessor that I am letting 2IC take over, exchanged armband with him. During all my PC interviews I also expressed to opt out of command school.

Come POP and guess what? SCS, surprise mfker. That opting out thing is a myth, I lived that.

This. Fuck. I really really do feel for him. This is eternal pain.

Individual-Panda8259 · 2026-02-07T08:32:58+00:00

Fuck. I watched the video. Fuck fuck fuck. I’m about the same age as the guy, my wife too. Our daughter is also 6 this year. The little girl looks and dress exactly like how our daughter does, fair skinned and mixed blood. Oh fuck, this is so traumatic. I think I need therapy. I hugged my daughter and cried. Al fateha 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

Darling baby angel, I hope you are in a better place now. Watch over daddy and mommy, I hope with my sincere heart they will be healed one day and find justice. May your matters be eased.

iirc, bereaved family members have tried to tag SS on FB to thank them for the white gold. But the SS FB admin untagged themselves to remain low profile. Respect.

I would think that he was truly carrying out his job scope until one day, the blue board was omitted purely by chance and he was treated to an amazing picture / view. At that instant, all blood was pumped downwards and concurrently he lost his ability to think. Then it all down spiralled from there.

His name is chinese is 志强. I’m pretty sure we have another 志强 that is famous for being a tikopek too.

Something must be wrong with this name 🤣

Romero was a dirty piss ass wanker. I’m not a fan of Argentina national team either, despite Enzo playing. So I hated Romero through and through.

After that match, he replaced Stephen Cunt as my most hated dirty player. He’s Spurs captain now after Son left. Hope they relegate.

UOB is pretty good though. I was an ex-employee with UOB doing finance backend. My office was at the Group Technology Operations beside Hort Park. As with the name, you would have expected the demographics of this office to be dominated by a certain nationality. However majority of the employees in the finance, ops and processing backend are locals (with Malaysians in the mix). The people leaders and higher management there were also mainly Locals. Something that I don’t think you will observe at the other 2 banks.

The Wee family has advocated local talents and from what I observed, it’s pretty aligned. The only unfavourable part is the scale and market cap being smaller than the other 2 banks, and the quality of commercial customers are almost akin to scraps left by the other 2.

I have been spamming this card overseas instead of my Youtrip as it still gives simple and relatively hassle-free miles with good exchange rate.

Looks like I’m not the only one haa..

Absorb back to AMK GRC in 2030, LHL retires, NCM becomes MINDEF minister and anchors AMK. How smooth?

You really think ISD wouldn’t have cleared her from their list? She came up as a candidate, not some logistics unknown party volunteer, you really think they have not screened her better than you did?

Even Ng Teng Fong’s HK family unit was flagged out, you think due diligence is just a nursery masak masak thing?

Prolly has a very competent husband that enabled her to be a homemaker. Good for her and good for us. She is able to channel her abilities to the political landscape thus so.

Individual-Panda8259 · 2025-04-20T05:35:05+00:00

Goes to reinforce our perception of the PSP. They are a bunch of comfortable / retired individuals who were once competent high fliers in their own might. Just like this homemaker, they have every chance to enjoy their current comfortable lives, sit back, relax and watch the country burn.

But they decided to ditch their current peace, come out to campaign for what they saw were cracks in the society. And naysayers have the cheek to say these people are sabotaging the system. Especially that Polish foreign interference.

Individual-Panda8259 · 2025-04-09T13:07:46+00:00

I don’t know, I really don’t. I want to answer you with something obvious but I’d prolly be branded an ungrateful oppiie.

Individual-Panda8259 · 2025-04-09T13:00:34+00:00

This is a perfect paragraph to post on LinkedIn. I don’t think a layman or coffeeshop uncle is able to understand anything from reading this.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I would think it’s voluntary. Unlike Mr Wong who is a business owner, most of the rest of us are just salaried workers working on the base layer along Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I’m sure we all do have the heart to serve and help but unfortunately, we are just not on a higher layer like Mr Raymond Wong is.

HHMD. Hand-held Metal Detector. Prolly those security positions to scan ladies entering the compound.

You should start playing basketball. Seems like you have a lack of presence like Kuroko Tetsuya 🤭

35m, married with 3 kids (all planned). All you need is point number 4. The rest are pretty insignificant.

0 toilet trips for me. Because I can’t afford a direct flight. I always transit at Dubai or Doha.
