2nd Warrant Officer Teck Hong has served his entire life in the army. Now 38, he finds himself needing to make a pivotal decision, should he continue serving in the army or leave and face the harsh reality of life outside. He knows that if he continues serving, his past injuries limits his roles in the army to administrative positions, something he loathes. However, upon meeting a certain detainee at the Detention Barracks in the army, his life takes a turn.

Uncertainty in life.. especially those regulars who had been in the army their whole life... can be very daunting. Not everyone can be successful. I know one encik who didn't quite make it outside.

In sgp the harsh reality is our age. As we get older we are less appreciated in the work force. Not just in the army but every where else.

Far from it...

For NCO, most likely end up being Taxi driver...

[WTF]

Many of my ex-regulars either became taxi drivers, security officers etc.......so far only saw a couple of higher ranking ones got better jobs........

Some taxi drivers told me the high-flying jobs they used to hold until they got axed for various reasons.

can lah. they just bring their mentality and culture there.

Nice video!

 

Curious. Why the encik uniform is buttoned all the way to the first button when he is with the MO?

Bottomline is, a job is just a job. Do not let your value as a person and contributor be determined by the employer or by what people think. Is military counselor, as depicted in the story, unimportant and no prospect? Surely there is value in it, depends on whether you want to perceive it or not.

 

Every job has its own intrinsic value and importance. Does it mean to say that people who study social work and get into counselling, etc. are not doing a valuable job?

then they bound to fail lor.

 

some GLC are insanely troublesome and heavily loaded.

Army especially NCO, mostly not as busy one.

issue was more of the person loss the joy of his work as he can no longer work as what he desire.

 

plus the truth is that if you had initially sign on as a combat personnel, and later get injury that declare you as not combat fit. your career in army is gone. no more promotion, chances of increment and bonus is likely gone too.
