Supple Assistant - A Review
[ZOMBiE CyGiG] ranted at 9:21 PM --- Post#6332274808861680557

As promised, i will write a review on the job of a Supply Assistant after one month. I was a Turret Technician, now a Supply Assistant. Pls note that i will be comparing Turret Tech from my previous unit VS Supply Assistant in my current unit. And NOT general tech VS store sense.

Job Scope
Used to repair turrets, go outfield, almost went overseas. Now my job is to keep track and complete paperwork and shift items.

Work Place
Used to be in a camp closed to civilization, very easy access to MRT. But distant from gate to workplace is very very far. Now in a camp which is perhaps 30% harder to get to, but fromt gate to guard house is faster. Shuttle bus services also.

Colleagues
Used to face ultimate chao keng ppl, and constant firing of arrows and politics. But i have lots of damn good buddies and cupcakes as well. Although my colleagues now aint tip top, but at least much less problematic. Inter-colleague relationship is much distant and further.

The Killers
Used to go outfield, sit in the vehicle like a rotting log and endure days of smelly uniform. Now, dun seem to have any outfield activities.

Used to die die also do roughly 3 to 5 points of Guard Duty. Now doing roughly 3 points of Orderly duty, due to my feet problem.

Used to fall out at 6.30pm, even u completed yout job. The latest OT was 4am. Now unless really needed, fall out at 5.30 sharp.

Use to stay in, now stays out.

Used to fall in at about 7.45am, and 7am if got PT. Now fall in at 8am.

Used to have PT even if u are medically unfit. Now if u are unfit, u cant choose not to participate.

Management
The lower management (direct superior) when i was a tech was rather satisfactory. I have SSG that let me in charge of the section, helping me out when i need and praise me when I completed my work. I got MSG that organize the section in tip top condition, fight for our rights, know our problems and talk cock with us. Now my direct superiors are a bunch of egoistic ladies that do not listen well to us, biased to certain people, very rude, nags way too much and have no proper organisation.

The middle management when i was a technician was totally screwed up. PS who cared only for his fame, left his men to die, super bias, NATO, totally no welfare, lots of rubbish theory, politics play...Enuff Said. Since the store now exist both as a section and platoon, there is no middle management.

The upper management was also politics playing, in which i seriously dunno whats happening. My upper management now seems pretty in shape and organised.

Welfare
Used to have a full 45min breakfast. Now all breakfast must be taken into the store to consume.

Used to have a 1.5 hours lunch and a nice bed to sleep after lunch. Now lunch is only one hour and no sleeping during lunch time.

Used to have useless dialogue session. Now dialogue session seems much more responsive.

Offs, leaves and MA are much lenient now.

Workload
Im surprised physical usage is much more now. More of upper limb activities. Used to have equal share of low limb actives as well (climbing, squatting). Nowadays everyday move items of more than 50KG, despite my shoulder injury.

Paperwork is definitely much more now. Have u been killed by paperwork before?

I think i used to be more stress than now.

Thats about the end of my slip short quick review.
