in typing my last post, i was very aware that i would offend some, if not most pple who knew what i was referring to. yet, i chose to write it because these were my true sentimentsin the process of writing down my thoughts, i realised that i did not give credit to those who deserved it. and that is my bad. to say the truth, from 2 days of observations, i felt only 2 pple deserved commending, and 1 though not bad, still needed a bit of improvement. these 2 pple are relatively close to my heart, and they sure did not let us down. as for the other 1, she was not bad....but it's only the beginning for her....i will only speak for those 2, because they really worked hard together to ensure the event went well because EVERYONE else failed to do their job they way they were trained to. no matter how much shit they had to clear of those above and under them, not once did they give up, or let their participants in on the fact that the entire event was crumbling underneath their feet. they do deserve commending, and i'm not being biased. if all of u reading this wonder whether i turned up just to criticize every single person, then well, i can only say you don't really know me at all. as mentioned previously, all i smsed told me the event was great, and i was really proud and happyso we decided to turn up to give all of you support. but we were disappointed greatly but the amount of oversight on YOUR part. i've heard that YOU didn't know how or where to ask for our help. seriously, i can't help but wonder, is it that difficult to ask for our help when we were YOUR friends?ask and u shall receive. isn't that line something we are all familiar with?i can't help but wonder if it was truly the fear of troubling us or ego that was causing you to not open your mouth. clearly, you lacked in manpower with the amount of exams / commitments / lack of experience from your people. all you had to do was ask, and we could see what we could do to helpif we couldn't , you know very well that we would tell you NO....we aren't that obliged to put ourselves and our child in jeopardy. But you chose to continue ON YOUR OWN, unsure, yet unwilling to ask. i wonder if it's a lack of humility on your part. 1 of the 2 i commended tried to inject some order into the chaos, but clearly, it was not appreciated....not from the start, and definitely not at the end. isn't it sad how one of your men can alert you to your pure oversight and yet u choose not to see it.......it's just depressing. for the record, i blamed myself before blaming YOU. because i chose to abandon the ship.and i felt deeply that it was all my fault. but now i knowi do know for sure, that this move was necessaryfor you all to wake upi wonder if you didbecause all your participants seemed to love the event. i can't help but wonder if it was for the right reasons though....and whether they gained something real from the camp. or if they loved it because we weren't there to clamp down on discipline. hey...it's supposed to be fun, ain't it?well, some of you might say that....but please remember that you all ARE soldiers...and discipline is an important part of it all....which it clearly was lacking in this event. maybe you'll wake upmaybe you won't. it's all God's plans. yet, who am i to comment since i'm now an outsider, however experienced i may have been?i do know one thing for sure.....if ur event was in any way a success, please thank your participants...and not congratulate yourself....because they made it work. not you. if any one of you reading this are upset by what i've said, please pause for a minute, think objectively about everything i've said, and then think again. Are you upset coz i'm being biased about what i've said?or Are you upset because most, if not all of what i've said is true?if you know me well enough, you know that i'm writing this with my head, and not my heart, and that is why it is this blunt.........................no hard feelings at all......
