Due to medical complications, i had not been able to participate in the marching contingent of the Chief Armour Officer Change of Command Parade held at Gedong on fri. however, as how the saf usually works, i still went in full gear and sat there waiting for everything to be over. 12 bloody hours spent in a cold LT with poor lighting (due to the pple inside dimming the lights to improve sleeping conditions) makes me an active troublemaker. after some scouting around, i confirmed my suspicion that army intelligence was simply the best oxymoron anyone had ever and could ever come up with.

and how do i support my stand?

A sign on the door of important rooms with restricted access.
"Out of bound to all rank except on offical duty"

pretty cool spelling and grammar dont you think?

and here's another one. PASTED on the wall of the LT.

Irregardless (a word that is most probably also invented by the army. totally contradictory. double negatives?!) of all these, i do admit that sometimes the army does leave people in awe of its prowess. i for one keep getting the shit awed out of me whenever there's an armour parade. and i guess that's my only motivation to serve.
