[ 528. Sispec - not ]
Ok guys i've got an announcement to make: I'M OUT OF SISPEC!!!!
Yes! It's a dream come true! Hahahaha. But wait... before we celebrate, i have to let off steam first. Today is really screwed up. Yes. i woke up so darn early today to have breakfast with my dear friends who's going to sispec with me. And we happily then took a bus, a ferry then a tonner to sispec. That's when the horror starts. To my amazement, my name wasn't on their nominal roll. That goes the same for 20 others. So we were sent to sit outside the admin office for about 3 hours before they called 6 guys out. These are the unlucky ones who will get to stay in sispec. And for the remaining ones... CPC will sort our posting out while we went for lunch at the sispec canteen. Then again, the food there really sucks. So perhaps its a good thing to get out of that island. So after lunch, we were told of our new posting... signals institute for me. So ok, fine, 2pm fastcraft out to mainland, and we have to find our own way to the new camp. That started our ferry-bus-train-cab ride to the new camp. We exhausted the main public transport in singapore before reaching the camp in 2 hours. Ouch. Time wasted.
When we reach the new camp, the chief clerk almost fainted. Why? The people over at sispec nor CPC informed them that we were going over. And they already had an oversupply problem that morning when near 200 people turned up. From what i heard, they had only 90 places for the current course. Whatever. So, those not taken in for course was either told to take 2 days leave and wait for re-posting on thursday, or doing admin work until the new course in may. Whatever the case is, we were told to take 2 days leave so that CPC can sort our posting out AGAIN, and we'll come back on thursday to get our new posting. That was it man.
What i'm angry with is:
1) It was suspected that because of those regulars whose contracts were finalized only last minute (i.e. last saturday)that's why we became the 'sispec rejects'.
2) CPC can't even throw us to a decent place where we are needed.
3) i called a platoon mate who was posted to Provost, and he told me that he's reposted to sispec. I mean, i thought there were no more space?!
4) Why do we have to take 2 days leave out of our 14 days annual leave due to a fault not of our own?
Argh. I know i won't get answers. But who cares. I said my piece.
