Locknload 5th Gear December 20, 2009 Share December 20, 2009 Wow, this bumper crop of cadets would have been much more looked after, judging from the white horses in this batch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock 1st Gear December 20, 2009 Share December 20, 2009 Think they are considered SWH. Should also be under their medical records as well for the MO to see. Interestingly, I find the phrase "once his official duties were over" more striking. Demonstrates that work comes before family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutsack Clutched December 20, 2009 Share December 20, 2009 I'm not trying to take sides here, maybe there is such a thing as white horse treatment. But first hand account: Bunk mate's a son of a BG. Everyone knows cos CO also made it known to all instructors. But I dunno why, the instructors always arrow him to do saigang. They always enjoy shouting at him. Haha. Maybe his BG dad told CO to give him extra tough treatment. Cos when asked, instructors refused to tell us what the CO told them about the treatment of that guy. They just said CO told them he's a white horse and other stuff but didnt want to say what that "other stuff" was. As a result, my platoon kenna worse than other ppl. Every kpkb, thought got white horse sure welfare... Sian. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
