Reasons for Signing extra
-
Hi people,
I wanted to apply for financial assistance but then due to some troublesome procedures. I did not want to apply. However, I forgot to inform my section commander (Rank:LT) that I do not want to apply anymore. Then when he called me, he say I'm not responsible and must be punished. I may need to sign 3 extra.
What do you think of this punishment?
Regards

The question is: Are you at fault?
The fact is: You are:
So: Take the extra like a man. -

i was wondering out of curiosity...
define extras
what is extras?
what are examples of extras? -
extra=extra duty (beyond what you normally required to do).
e.g. are COS, guard, DO, duty spec, duty medic, etc. -
u forgot to mention confinement too.Originally posted by nightzip:extra=extra duty (beyond what you normally required to do).

I always had this idea that confinement doesn't come under extras?Originally posted by Gordonator:u forgot to mention confinement too. -
so..its true to say tat extra is free labor?

You may say soOriginally posted by sidestep1984:so..its true to say tat extra is free labor?
But if that officier is lenient, he will only give you warning or at most knock you down 20 -
Sometimes i tink when there is not enugh manpower to carry out the duty, they will anyhow find fault and give extras la.Originally posted by sidestep1984:so..its true to say tat extra is free labor?
Sleeping in bunk oso get confinement..what do you say?It's lame.. -
The way I see it......... extra != confinement.....
I see extra as extra weekend duties..... You have to do the duty instead of someone else. So while you're being punished, in a way, you're also doing something good for someone else. Someone else gets to go out with his girlfriend and enjoy the weekend instead of you. Not much of a consolation for you, but you can take heart in knowing that someone else benefits.
Confinement, on the other hand, affects only yourself. Someone still has to the the weekend guard duty.
Signing extras for pretty trivial reasons are pretty common in the SAF. Heck, I once got two extras for not polishing my boots during stand-by bed. I was so concerned about cleaning my bunk that I forgot all about my boots.
My advice to you..... Just take it like a man and accept it. -
I agree that you need to be punishOriginally posted by kitoshizc:Hi people,

most prob is either 1 guard duty and 2 COS duties
or mayb 2 guard and 1 COS -
depends. sometimes when a person signs too many extras. he'll be confined.Originally posted by CKtalon:I always had this idea that confinement doesn't come under extras?
for example, this person signs 21 extras, he clear his extras every odds days and rest on even days. this might take too long for him to clear all his 21 extras. so might as well confine him for let say a week so that he can clear 7 extras in a week.
is this practised in you guys' unit?

kena extra from being too nice to recruits.
Making them fall in under a shade.
Punishment = 1x extra.
But i read through the Informal Punishment Guidelines.... they never "strictly" define what or when a extra should be.
Extra Duties = guard, cos. but it does not state when.
So my OC thinks we feel the pinch if extra is on a weekend.... hahah.. but i enjoy weekend COS best.... book in... settle hand/take with previous day's COS... sleep, wake up for lunch..... eat... sleep... wake up for dinner... eat... sleep till the next day's cos book in to wake you up (or when the company books in).
Then, i started to "enjoy" my weekend duties... then OC realised that giving his Specs weekend duties is more of a "reward" than "punishment" so he made us clear extra on weekdays where COS really have extra things to do (run around doing errands and cookhouse duty).
But it soon became a point where if a few specs has a few extras to clear... the specs that do not have extra tend to do the weekends....
end result... its a punishment to all. HAHAHA.
When will "THE Organisation" wake up and realise "constructive and educative punishment" is way more effective than "retailatory" punishment? -
