How to Succeed in today's Military Career
1. Your boss is always right. Never argue with him. It’s pointless.
2. If he asks your opinion or advice, pretend to find out. Anyway, he made up his mind before he asked you.
3. If your boss is down, show your sympathy. Cry with him and cry with him in public. It’s just a 5-second acting. Surely, you’ll become his Chief of Staff if ever he becomes the Commander in Chief.
4. Your talents and even past accomplishments won’t matter to your boss. Ingratiation does. Practice it and you will become one of his favorites even if you fart right under his nose.
5. Most bosses pretend to be good in letter writing. They often return back your draft communiqué with their red-ink corrections. Keep your cool and edit your draft with their corrections and submit it back. Never exert effort thinking. In the end, you will find out that your boss is making corrections on his previous corrections.
6. Most senior officers enjoy gossips. If you have none, invent not only one but more. Read an intelligence report, most often it is based on gossips. Funny is it not?
7. If you have a hard time inventing gossips, take an intelligence course. Observe the intelligence officers, most of them have mastered the art of lying in guise of ‘double talk’. Wake up kid, all ‘destabization plots’ are all their inventions but they’re blind of the real ones.
8. Never trust an intelligence officer even if he is your close friend. He doesn’t trust you anyway.
9. Most intelligence officers would sacrifice everybody just to save their asses. Trust a combat officer. He will never leave you even bullets are raining.
10. Remember, most intelligence officers are not that intelligent at all. Deal with them like a dumb and you’ll be spared from derogatory reports. Look, they don’t even know they have a wiretapping capability.
11. If your boss is mad at you, bring a gift to his wife. If he’s always mad at you, his wife wants more gifts from you. If he is still mad at you and his wife is not around, look for his mistress.
12. Never forget the birthdays of your boss and his wife. Don’t send card. They will not appreciate it. Give him golf items and cognac; and give her perfume. You will not be forgotten. That’s ‘pogi’ point. Accumulate more.
13. Ingratiate your boss’s wife. Her influence is greater than him. She can even place you to juicy positions. But never forget his mistress. Her influence is far greater than the wife of the AFP Chief of Staff. Try finding out the dealers in V. Luna and other headquarters.
14. Never mess around with AFP Officers’ Ladies. Some of them are more notorious than their husbands. Try arranging an appointment with some commanders, you’ll be shocked that it needs a wife’s approval before the chief can entertain you.
15. Most general officers are conceited and self conscious. Don’t you know they spend more time in front of the mirror than their wives? Give him anti-aging cream or introduce him Botox. But never give him whitening soap. He might get offended and you’ll be out of office the next day.
16. Most generals are hypocrite. They wear medals and tabs they didn’t acquire. Your job is to find out an ongoing Airborne, Ranger, SF, Recon, UDT and Pilot trainings. Then talk to the Training Directors that your boss would be glad to be invited as a Guest Speaker and that he is willing to extend ‘financial and logistics’ support to the unit. Insist that your boss should be accorded with an ‘Honorary’ status. Then tell your boss about it and make it known to him that it was all your effort. (this scheme can be done thru phone calls. No sweat!)
17. Never lobby for a K-9 Honorary membership especially if your boss has a feature of a bulldog or an ‘askal’.
18. Don’t talk about your combat experience to your boss. Most likely, he’s never been in combat. Or they have spent their combat duties inside their command posts and liaisons only.
19. Don’t talk about gun safety handling to your boss especially if he had accidentally shot himself before.
20. Try inventing stories wherein your boss is a hero. Surely, he will not contest that. Bosses like fantasies, ya know.
21. To be a ‘confidante’ you must gain your boss’s trust. Know his enemies and tell him intrigues about them. Observe those in the inner circle, aren’t they all gossipers? Then be like one!
22. Never talk about ethics to your boss. Don’t you see his mansion, jewelries and fleet of cars? Could he buy that with his own salary even if claims his wife is a ‘business’ woman? You’re not born yesterday, dumbguard!
23. If you go out with your boss to a girlie bar, provide him with the most beautiful GRO around. No boss will reject a beautiful woman. And of course, provide yourself too so that he won’t feel left alone playing with fire. Bosses demand partners in crime.
24. Remember, never allow your boss to pay anything. You do it and charge all expenses against your office funds. If you have used your personal money during those ‘night-outs’, have it reimbursed even with over-price. Nobody will challenge that.
25. Most senior officers are hungry of media mileage especially those awaiting their first star. If your boss is a field commander, borrow or even buy loose firearms as evidence of a “successful combat operations” and have a full media coverage inside your Command Post.. Don’t forget to pay the reporters. This scheme is effective.
26. Most senior officers don’t tell the truth. Tell a lie too if you have to. If you’re caught, say “I’m sorry, it was lapse of judgment”.
27. Remember, nobody was ever punished for telling a lie. But many were imprisoned and even killed for telling the truth.
If you are an AFP Officer, ask yourself if your career is on the right track. Know your chiefs and commanders. Maybe they have employed the same tactics as enumerated.
