TIME WRAPPED REGIMENT


What say I raise the Regiment that I would be happiest to serve in? What say if I could turn the clock back? What say I could pick and choose the officers and ARTY directorate would have no say?


My Reality Distortion Field Syndrome aside, I would interview all candidates for my Regiment. I would do an utopian lineup like George Orwell, and parade them for selection for the various appointments in a time wrapped Regiment comprising an HQ and 4 Gun Btys.


My criteria for selection would be based on the following traits and talents:

Integrity, Leadership, Charisma, Responsibilities, Talent, Knowledge, Sportmanship, Fun, Compassion and of course Gunnery. And in that order for weightage and balance.


CO – Mustapha Saad (Musty)

2IC – Tony Morel

Adjutant – Hung Meng

Assistant Adjutant – Ghazali (King Gus)

QM Gen – Zahir

QM Tech - Harun

4X BCs, Tan Say Loke, Oh Teng Lim, Hew Deng Onn, and Omar Mohammad

4X BK, David Lam, Heera Singh, Maskan Katan, and Aris Salim

8X Troop commanders, Ho Wah Juan, Chong Kok Heng, Ramachandran, Masoud (Timmy), Albert Manaseh, Ganeson, Tan Guan Gui and Yusri

8X GPOs/Section commanders, Aziddin, Maniam (Apu), Chandran, Satwan Singh, Azahar, Mokhtar Pereman, Allen Lai and for Senior Subaltern – Tony Chia(Anthonysamy)


It would be an awesome Regiment. No?


Unfortunately other Gunners may not have the opportunity to serve in this Regiment, but then they could always raise their Regiment of choice.

What say?
