Army Dictionary Part I
Decided to come up with a dictionary to explain some army terms and abbrievations.The kinda stuff girls and guys that haven gone into the army hear and then go "huh?" or "wats that?".Hopefully my female frenz out there would finally understand the diff when i say "i got duty" and "i got EXTRA!"
Firstly,think i'll start from the very basic things girls always ask is whats my unit so lets start from there:
BRC:Brigade Reconnaissance Company a.k.a Brigade Recce Company --in short similar to scouts but in estab wise we are 1level higher.
NSF:National Service Fulltime--YOung guys like us who waste our 2yrs inside the army
NSmen:Refers to guys who ORD already
Regulars:They cannot upsize one..refer to pple who sign on to the stupid army
Specialist:Specs refer to sergeants not glasses.Most NSF can only get the rank of 3rd sergeants except a minority who gets promoted to 2nd sergeants just before ORD.
CSM:Company Sergeant Major a.k.a Encik---most of the time the most hated guy in a company ,manages discipline and all aspects of other stuffs,also the one who gives everyone extras
Extra:extra means extra duties awarded for any mistakes committed..mostly given by CSM.
COS duty:Company Orderly Sergeant.this is one of the 2 duties a 3rd Sergeant has to perform in army.Has to perform cookhouse duties and any other things the CSM or officers needs u to do--in short office boi lar...
Guard Duty:Refers to either performing it as a guard or as a guard commander. Area of duties-prowling around camp/ensuring overall safety of camp compounds.the 2nd of the 2 kinds of duties the CSM can award.
Ok gotta stop now...get some rest....btw im doing COS duty now...yawnz....not an extra jus a normal weekend duty....which sucks cos im flying on fri and they had to shorten my weekend...my encik sucks lar...idiot!=)
