An old thinking

Have you ever wondered, the possible outcome if you havent intervened in a certain event ?
Isit possible that the outcome would be better, or would it ultimately be worse off ?
Has intervention helped others ?
Has intervention increased the contempt others showed to you ?

If thats the case, how ? what will be the way to the greater good ?

Thats what i am hoping to know.

Recently, i asked a friend who came back to NASNPCC as a CI [One who completed secondary school as well as the Cadet Inspector course. ] whats going on in npcc. His reply -
Friend : sux, the ncos are no longer committed, they taught the wrong stuff, then make the cadets learn their wrong things for promotion test.
Me : then hows the sec 2, 3s ?
Friend : sux, sec3 now very ill discipline, sec2 also defiant towards ncos
Me : then what are the C.Is planning ?
Friend : maybe we need you back, because miss lee actually ask for you, sarah and sadatul...
I got the message.
I did give thought whether i would return to the unit, where i brought up a bunch of quiet Sec 2s through their training from June '05 to June '06. Thus, when i remained in school to observe them after my term ended, i saw, with great disappointment, their discipline level dropping like an aircraft without wings...
Whose fault is it ?
Partially ours, the J [Sec5s or graduated] batch, but then, its the Ks [ Current Sec4s ] that are taking them ! We took them up, i told the promising ones to keep their discipline in np, and stay till graduation ! Okay, its going smoothly, but then, what i see, is truely sad. The way i see them, they arent united, both the cadets and the ncos. the sec 2 situation is in my opinion, seriously chaotic. It hurts to see effort put in, go into waste. An example ? Chaotic classroom, a DM comes in for an hour, where the class is lectured, with great interest. Then, when he left, chaos and ill discipline takes control again. Lets say that i have lived with npcc for 3 1/2 years as a blur cadet, and 1 year as a blood-vomitting nco. Effort was happily put in, competition was healthy and fun, we looked forward to restoring lost prestige. But then, after failing miserably in several competitions, morale was low. There was no 'sit down and discuss' but plenty of 'walk around and observe' attitudes. alot of 'suan here suan there' and little 'lets get together as one and solve it together' feeling. I admit i cant stand one member, but then the majority of the squad shared the same view. too late for regrets, hes still in nass for sec 5. although i try to tolerate his whining and nonsense, its wears patience to a chain of atoms [ seriously, that thin ].
Pity, with self disputes and piss-off situations, the external situation of handling the juniors is left to the squad ICs. i know everyone has their own slackers, but then, when i see my squad, its really over the limit. During parade time juniors can tell me that ncos from MY squad is playing table soccer ! dangit ! what is the word d-i-s-c-i-p-l-i-n-e coming into ? crapola ?
Strange how people can be petty with their feelings these days. It adversely affects the others around them. Cos of bad mood, one sec 4 nco shouted at a cadet till i guess, the kid could have wet his pants, then callin them stuff which we should have never said. Side-effects, amazes everyone how negative it'll be once a sinlge member of leadership is turned against the others.

Hopefully God will show me the Way, should i return to the unit to try and help ?

Is there ever, a final solution to end all things ?
