this post is dedicated to all 39/06 cadets since they are taking over soon.
i bet some of you must be smiling deep within your hearts that it is finally the time when you can take over and do many silly things that you have been desiring for. kicking up a small fuss, ordering cadets around, bullying cadets, not cutting fingernails and polishing boots, talk during foot drills and more. i'm sure you can name them yourselves. however, being a NCO comes with various responsiblities. life of a NCO is totally different from a cadet's. treasure it now while you are still a cadet for about 2 days?
if you really dislike a person holding this appointment, respect the appointment at least. you may dislike him/her for all kinds of reason but disliking his/her appointment as well does not make things any better for you. it has been proven that liking something is easier than disliking something. ACPC day is not a day for you to complain, dislike or even hate. it is a day for you to appreciate the privilege given to each and everyone of you to bring the corps to a higher level. complain, dislike or hate it will not bring the corps any further upwards. learn to love the day.
lastly, grumbling about your post will not make the world seem nicer to you in any sense. it will only cause you to hate SJAB more and more. it's a vicious cycle. learn to respect your appointment and fulfil the duties at least.
