Its CTC all over again
I've had much time these couple of years to get over the last ordeal in my army tour -- The CTC course. I took this OC course as part of my obligation to the SAF as an OCS sword winner, to prepare me for NS Company level command.
I have to say it was a great experience, having enjoyed the intellectual challenge from unceasing ops planning and recces. From morning runs to late night ops order writing and talc drawing, it was the ultimate officers' training course. The MBA of an SAF Officer career path. (I'd call BTC the EMBA equivalent...)
So now i'm repeating that course all over again. Only this time, its the real thing. The real MBA.
If an MBA is really what i expect it to be, I'd not be surprised to see fellow trainees burn the midnight oil discussing "strategy" and "tactics" on the business equivalent of a battlefield. I'd expect nothing less than that, and i'm more than thrilled to go through that challenge.
However, if the MBA was similar even in the back-stabbing, attention grabbing aspect, then I'll certainly suffer the aftermath trauma once again, having been deprived of the top trainee award from the AIOC course, partially due to malign peer evaluations, driven by self pride and fear of jeopardizing their own career advancement.
It was just CTC. I'm willing to accept the result. Afterall, its not my career at stake. But this time round, my career will be on the line. So theres no way I'm gonna let this get in my way...
But i'll just have to bite the bullet and trudge forward.
Like the old army saying " lan lan, suck thumb, and push forward"...
