[ 653. Signals ]
Apparently i have no qualms about people looking down on signallers. You can draw two conclusions from this, which is either:
- I, as a signaller, have a very low self-esteem and take no pride in my job, or
- The signallers themselves are not earning ample respect for themselves.
Well, i love my job. No, not as the copa, but as a signaller, as an operator of communications. Though i do not get to handle the radios as often as back then in the institute, but the fascination of how much wonders the radios can do never ceases. If given the chance, i'd jump at the opportunity to go for another signals-related course, even if it means losing my privileges and bearing with regimentation for another two months.
As for NSFs, it's no wonder that some of them wants to just serve the bare minimum. Not believing in excellence, not believing in responsibility, some take the easy way out. Sadly, there are many in a certain platoon. A platoon with many senior, yet irresponsible private signallers. Well, as again, it's always the same few. The disease has spread to the junior signallers in the platoon i guess. Those oversized operators, who simply take the easy way out by giving excuses. They sought downgrades and a transfer in departments in order to 'have a better life'. Ain't life good enough in that platoon? When will you learn to be content, i wonder. If fellow signallers truly desire to slim down and prove their fitness, why can't you feel the sense of shame and do likewise? At the very least, join the bare minimum. Ultimately, if you want to be bogged down by high blood pressure, diabetes, potential heart attack and die before 50, that's your problem. Suffer now enjoy later, or vice versa, the decision's in your own court.
I'm more impressed by the signallers who has been posted to the various coys instead. The way their comms spec has believed in them, has encouraged them to strive for the best. The way they themselves give their best to support their coy and their commitment to their daily jobs as coy clerks as well. Comparatively, they are a bunch of nicer, and better signallers than those in the mentioned platoon.
If one probe further, maybe the operators in the platoon are not to blame. What can you do when a certain crawling creature keeps firing tasks unrelated to signals to you to do? Naturally you'll feel the meaning of the job to be void, since one can't comprehend the reationale behind doing so. Remember those books i've been reading? It said somewhere that if soldiers cannot understand the reason for a certain discipline, or in this case, to do a task, one will not give its best. It will just be a case of blindly following. Even if a certain penalty is issued for non compliance, the effect will wear off and its a matter of time before people disregard the discipline entirely.
Well, if something has to be done, a change in management would suffice. And time to severely deal with commanders and men alike who takes advantage of corporate resources for personal gains.
