got back yesterday from my ICT and boy… do i miss my room. for one thing, ventilation in the dormitory sucked. there were only 4 standing fans and although there were 8 wall fans, they were all blocked by the double decker beds. the food sucked too. for all the tax payers’ money, it seemed that food for the reservists wasn’t factored into the budget.
i got a platoon commander who’s strictly “by the book” and i’ve got a section commander who’s essentially nothing but the platoon commander’s ‘yes man’. on the whole, everything about this ICT sucked. although to be fair, the friends i’ve made over there made things better. every night, in lieu of our night snack, we’d order from MacDonald’s. by right, we needn’t have spent money ordering as the food should be sufficient. however, due to some inconsiderate bastards, if we didn’t order, we’d go hungry throughout the night.
instead of taking only 1 each of the night snacks, the bastards took 3 each. there’s 38 men in the platoon and there’s 40 pieces of buns. if even 2 or 3 bastards were to take 3 each, a lot of us would go hungry. but it’s not just 2 or 3. it’s almost all the non-chinese. their behaviour was totally unexpected.1 they acted like 14 – 15 year old kids instead of the 20 – 30 year old adults.
oh wells. that’s enough ranting for now. i’ll post more on this subject some other time.
- actually i take it back. i already expected it[↩]
