General Housekeeping Rules1. Inform me/Cheryl know if you are leaving the country and period of absence
(In future when you are working, you are also expected to publish an Out-Of-Office-Notice)
2. In future, when responses, pertaining to anything, are asked for. Reply even if it is a 'No'. So
that the oraganiser/coordinator will not be left wondering if the recipient got the message and
can plan accordingly. Sometimes, there may also be follow-up instructions which you may
miss out on.
Nothing too serious here, but it will help facilitate things.
AMS Street Soccer Blog
This is a very good article that i recommend everyone to read. Many of the tips in this article are what i have been practising myself for sometime to come. Although this article is addressed to Undergrads, it is completely relevant to Poly students.
Also, even though the article targets graduating students, I feel that it is always never to early to plan for your future. Moreover, many of the tips brought up require time for ground work to be lay down. Having said that, 1+ years is not a luxury, especially when it involves changing one's character and attitude.
All of us here are automatically awarded with a high grade plasticine upon entering AMS. How your plasticine will look like eventually will depend solely on your effort to mould it
Storytime
and if the above article doesn't interest you, perhaps I can bore you readers further with yet another story about a true incident which happened to my friend.
My friend, A is a poly grad and currently working full-time. He often complains about life and work. Recently, he told a common friend B, who is a Regular Naval Officer, that he wishes to sign-on in the Navy. B, being a pal, called up a contact in the Recruitment Center to help A pull some strings.
The contact pulled A's NSF records from the database to find out more about him. A few days later, the contact called up B and asked, "Sir, why did you recommend this type of person to me???"
Lesson learned today, is that your rep, good or bad, stays with you. Especially, in the connected world of today, you never know if the skeletons in your closet will stay there forever. The morale of this story is not restricted to employment in the SAF. Also, a reminder to future conscripts who think that they can get away with ill-conduct, inaction and insubordination during service...Don't.
