sometime this week, due to the President's Challenge or other equivalent event, Boss' (PS) Boss' (PC) Boss' (OC) Boss' (BC) Boss' (HJO) Boss' (DJOPD) Boss (CDF) encouraged all in SAF to donate generously to the cause.

So Boss' (PS) Boss' (PC) Boss' (OC) Boss (BC) strongly encouraged all in GB to give. Now as we all know, Boss' (PS) Boss' (PC) Boss' (OC) Boss' (BC) suggestions carry the power of a direct order from waaaaay above. So the translation of that (as we received it) was that Boss' (PS) Boss' (PC) Boss' (OC) Boss (BC) ORDERED all of us to contribute, with an alleged minimum sum of $10.

Needless to say, we were all see beh too lan. I mean, we're all national slaves servicemen, already underpaid and overworked as it is, and now you're making us give out of our meagre allowances. allowances, not salaries. i mean, why not give as you feel led to? for NSF, $10 out of an average salary allowance of $500 is like 2%, but the recommended donation (see there's even a recommended donation) for regulars was $30. Out of a salary of say $2500. Oh that's 1.2% for those who are counting. Oh and regulars can contribute out of their flexi accounts or something like that.

So ends up with all being forced to give, and a lot of disgruntled people around. i mean, left to my own devices i probably would have made a contribution, but it's not nice to force people to contribute to charity. i know i won't like being forced to contribute to, oh, say, the NKF.

Meandering off, let's take a potshot at the new high-tech ration indenting system S4 has tried to implement. instead of ordering slightly more food to insure against hungry soldiers, now we have to order exactly enough, which leads to all kinds of difficulties for the people involved in the actual ordering. after a week or so of complaints that there was not enough food, we are slowly seeing the system phased out. oh, and my cq has stopped complaining too.
