alternate routes to ocs?
-
my boyfriend is unable to get a silver for ippt due to a injury.. he's really disappointed. are there any alternative routes to ocs?
-
we need more information.
like where is he now - bmtc?
and why the revelation that without a silver award, he won't qualify for ocs?
assuming the 2nd statement is true, how far is he from silver? is he unfit? or generally fit but just have problems with specific stations? -
I din know failure to clear IPPT was a barrier to get into OCSOriginally posted by fallencloud:my boyfriend is unable to get a silver for ippt due to a injury.. he's really disappointed. are there any alternative routes to ocs?

just one station. pull-ups due to a wrist fracture.. he is due for pop next week..

You will not even to get into SISPEC if you fail IPPT, needless to say about OCSOriginally posted by deathscythe99:I din know failure to clear IPPT was a barrier to get into OCS -

err.. if his condition is preventing him from performing normally, he should be downgraded, at least temporarily, and not be taking ippt and pushing for advanced schools! was it an overlook on the part of the MOs?Originally posted by fallencloud:just one station. pull-ups due to a wrist fracture.. he is due for pop next week..
however if he has recovered, but is suffering now cos he has not had sufficient time to train up, then well, that's what he needs - more training.
if it is recognised that he will not face difficulties in passing his ippt if given the time to train, he might be given a conditional pass for bmt, and may even be allowed to proceed to advanced schools. -
Wrist fracture previously detected b4 enlistment or during BMT?Originally posted by fallencloud:just one station. pull-ups due to a wrist fracture.. he is due for pop next week.. -
injured just before he enlisted. detected in bmt... was on status for 2 mths. im not sure if it was overlooked..
-
im surprised he was not OOCed given that he was on status for 2 mths!Originally posted by fallencloud:injured just before he enlisted. detected in bmt... was on status for 2 mths. im not sure if it was overlooked.. -
*shrugs* im not sure why not ooc too though...
think i didnt make myself very clear just now.. im not very sure of the situation too. all i know that he was one pull-up away from getting silver. he managed 7... -
but he is your boyfriend... and you are asking about going to ocs for him...Originally posted by fallencloud:*shrugs* im not sure why not ooc too though...

well the long and short of it is, there are alternative routes to ocs, i.e. via sispec. but the question then is if he is even eligible for sispec. -
Eh....he passed right?Originally posted by fallencloud:*shrugs* im not sure why not ooc too though...

Anyway, since he was on status for 2mths, it's weird that he's not OOC. Immediate, I mean, cos he missed 2mths of training! But, that would depend also on the lessons he missed (if never miss outfield, range etc, shld be ok)
And if he POPs, the chances of gg OCS is slim, definitely.
Oh just a side-question, is he really so garang and damn onz to go into OCS? Because I get the feeling he IS.

Knowing more about the SAF certainly is good, and you care enough for your bf to ask this....so I dun think you should call yourself that....
Ambitions are well.....ambitions
To become true or not, I believe it's up to fate and sheer peserverance

may not be your fault. you may not know what you do not know. mabbe hes not telling you everything just so as not to make you worry.Originally posted by fallencloud:ah meaning im not a good girlfriend?

anyway, yes there are alternative routes to ocs as mentioned, but his medical condition should be priority, if not for himself, then for his parents, yourself, his friends, his peers, the people he needs to work with, and the SAF. -
hehe.. now i'll hope..? and interrogate him tommorrow night i guess.
could hear his disappointment over that pull up over the phone just now.. thats why the topic. ah well i can only wait.. -
u did mention he did 7 chin-ups right? if there's a IPPT retest, why not ask him to try again? afterall, it's only 1 more chin-up.
