[ d a r r e n ] says:
no i dont.
[ d a r r e n ] says:
but i'm just considering abt the other side
[ d a r r e n ] says:
if u down pes. u just get a lower rank but u do more meaningful stuffs with more relevance to today's society
[ d a r r e n ] says:
more helpful to ur own life, own future
[ d a r r e n ] says:
than sweating buckets out in e jungle and doing nth very benefitial to ur future
[ d a r r e n ] says:
at least u face the com u learn how things work in the SAF admin system
[ d a r r e n ] says:
u face the com become more profficient in it. more helpful for uni, for ur future work
Jia Jie | http://shortlegs.lah.cc says:
but u dont exactly learn nth in ocs what right
Jia Jie | http://shortlegs.lah.cc says:
experience?
[ d a r r e n ] says:
den outside 8-5 u can give tuituion u earn 1-2k plus. u provide money for ur family for urself
[ d a r r e n ] says:
den also more time to spend with family members
Jia Jie | http://shortlegs.lah.cc says:

Jia Jie | http://shortlegs.lah.cc says:

[ d a r r e n ] says:
ocs
[ d a r r e n ] says:
its e rank. the pride the prestige e honour
[ d a r r e n ] says:
at e end of the day. u walk into uni having wasted 1.5 yrs
[ d a r r e n ] says:
ur brain and mind hardly worked u get cut out from social life and society and the world and everyday things happening in spore
[ d a r r e n ] says:
as clerk can at least learn driving learn a new lang. learn and read up on ur future course for uni life first. put u ahead of ur peers
[ d a r r e n ] says:
learn driving and earning more money. 1-2k. same as ocs. gvie tuition. spend time with family members and friends.
[ d a r r e n ] says:
i mean. why not
[ d a r r e n ] says:
u suffer less than in ocs
[ d a r r e n ] says:
den it makes me think
[ d a r r e n ] says:
if its so. why suffer in ocs?
[ d a r r e n ] says:
when i can very well choose to not suffer as much yet benefit more at e same time
[ d a r r e n ] says:
ocs is rili. just. pride honour and glory. and . rank
[ d a r r e n ] says:
and money.
[ d a r r e n ] says:
but money doesnt hold since being a clerk lets u earn same amt of money by givin tuitin outside
