So I've just completed my 4th cycle of ICT and it's a 2 week high key! This ICT brought about a lot of first for me; such as my first night outfield (after BMT), my first game of Clash Royale (which is bloody addictive), my first time hearing such a lame excuse that I almost wanted to strangle that guy who gave it, and my first *censored* ^^
Being the chief clerk, I see lots of stunts every ICT coming from the PSP functional group. Of course, some of them are really hard workers, providing their assistance in whatever roles or tasks they can do well in; while others really made me think what fucked up mentality they have growing up.
True, having an ORNS army may not necessary be the best option to safeguard our country, but I feel that it is still better than nothing. But to this particular small handful of people, they are so fucked up that they don't even want to volunteer to help us lessen our loads.
Eg 1.
Overnight sentry duty - sitting at the cookhouse for a 2h shift to take care of equipment.
When I asked for volunteers, Personnel A asked if there is any benefits for doing it, in which I reply that I am in no position to award any time-offs and such, I could only allow them to rest in bunk more. So he did not volunteer. And when I finally announced that the sentry gets 5h time-off, he commented that he would have helped out if there was rewards. Like come on seriously, can't you just help out because others need help? Must you be that selfish?
Eg 2.
CBRE Training - going into an auditorium for a 2h lecture and trying out the gas suit.
Upon hearing that it is compulsory for all PES status, Personnel B immediately asked if he can help out with office work. Initially, I agreed because I thought that it would be a busy morning. However, due to lack of participation of PSP in most ICT activities, an order was made for all of them to attend CBRE the next day. Being a stay out personnel, Personnel B booked out, and hours later, sent me a message saying that he has reported sick outside and will not book in the next day. Like come on seriously, asking you to attend CBRE is not asking you to die or feed yourself to dogs right? Oh sorry, you are so fucking fat that I doubt even dogs wanna eat you.
On top of that, Personnel B (who is a teacher) actually told me that he has lower limbs issues and is excused climbing stairs. This totally cracked me up, basically because the battery office is on the 3rd floor, so if you are excused stairs, don't tell me you fly up or teleport up. And tell me which school doesn't have stairs. Like omg, when I thought last ICT's excuse cookhouse food was bad enough, this ICT I face even weirder excuses. I guess it might be soon I see someone excuse oxygen.
And I don't even want to get started on some other people, I might not be able to stop if I carry on with this. So with that, I bid you guys goodnight!
