  What are they doing at the canteen? Don't they head to the Officer or NCO Mess? Got air-con & beer there, what. Plus mess boys to wait on them. Some more, they always grouch about paying monthly fees but are too busy to utilize the facilities enough.
  
  Yeah, they cut queue there too. ~lol~

  haha, I don't work in selarang so its ok :p I do bother to queue at semb even if sometimes queue too long i just walk up to canteen instead. Only once i was lazy queue, ask TPT regulars help me get food from the regular serving area since i was eating with them.

  For my side, we ate together, all ranks.
  
  Once, we went to this other camp where they enforced the Specialists/Officers and Enlistees queue in the cookhouse quite strictly.
  
  My friend, who was a LCP went over to the Specialists queue to get some food, and was stopped by the DOS, who rudely told him that since wasn't a sergeant he had to queue in the enlisted section. The LCP told him that he is a Specialist(Armt Spec Techs are Specialists, regardless of rank).
  
  The DOS didn't believe him, so then one of the 2WOs in our lunch group, which IIRC had 2 LTAs, 1 2WOs, 3 3SGs and 2 LCPs, said if the LCP friend of mine had to queue at the enlistees line, then we're all going over there to queue together.
  
  The DOS promptly apologised.

  Haha, it depends on what the problem is then i see how i defend :p Don't mess with my vehicles or ES and normally i don't bother much. You can scold the people at selarang all you like since i'm not there and i hardly know the people there. Just scold the people and not the battalion and i'm fine

  Like you said, "Seemingly". Maybe he didn't want to get into an argument over semantics.

  That's heck of a lot better than just not having to queue in the cookhouse.

  It's always the fruits. Chilled and sliced.
