I see the point in saying that the man was replaced after he passed out. It is not a bad observation.
However there is a positive side; institutional continuity. Shouldn’t the duty continue to be fulfilled? Hell yeah! He signed up to dedicate his life to service and knows that he is not just replaceable; he is also expendable by the vagaries of the job. The fact that the command has enough flexibility to man the post immediately must be a good thing. Not so?
Also was he assigned to the role because he is fit according to standard or on the basis of ’whom-you-know’? Even if it is the latter, such roles require merit, ie proven physical/endurance fitness.
That is not to say that even the most fit persons cannot pass out. The human body is complex. There is not such thing as ‘perfection’.
I would thank him for his effort and dedication to duty. He turned up and looked the part. Kudos!
And I will hasten with my analysis slowly.
Akpe! 🙏🏾
