Volunteer for recourse juz to go Command Sch..
-
Tt idea garang or not?
Ok.. jokes aside.. I was down for chickenpox so missed several impt things like IPPT n SOC n SIT Test.. n not forgeting attendance not very good.. duno whether got pass the 75% mark or not. So, my prospects aint go to qualify for command sch.
My platoon has a lao jiao, meaning he's now recoursing BMT. He did it juz for the sake of going OCS. Like me, he was down with chickenpox on his 1st attempt at BMT.
So, should I become a lao jiao also?
So, any lao jiao here to advice me or not? -
-non lao jiao-
just my 2-cents:
do consider some things, such as your reasons for wanting to go ocs....
for many, the reason would be the higher pay and relaxed life after commisioning (albeit more stressed)
if you are like that.... likely its better not to go... cos after commisioning you would have less than half a yr to enjoy those stuff... perhaps only 3 months if you factor in clearing leave etc.
however if you are trying for officer out of pride and garang-ness.... by all means speak to your PC and go for it.
however after everything... keep in mind that it will affect your NSF life, in the worst cases, you may either not like OCS/officer life, or not get into OCS in the end anyway...
so, consider carefully -
I am one of those who had to do an immediate recourse cuz i couldnt pass my 2.4 run.
Was a bit sian the 2nd time round, but I still managed to make it to OCS after the 2nd BMT. Granted you are a small minority who WANTS to do a recourse. If you think you have what it takes, then go for it. -
Go for it, but dun forget, talk to your PC first

last time my platoon got this lao jiao, he failed his 1st BMT and was transferred to my platoon for recourse. ends up going to OCS.
i personally liked this lao jiao very much. because of the things he already learnt during his 1st BMT, he taught us a lot of stuffs. i personally even put him as best soilder in the peers appraiser.
too bad, heard he was OOC.

if you don't wanna be a regular, and wanna be an irregular like the rest of us, heck... to me, it's not worth the grief
but if you wanna, go for it
anyhoooo... looks like you're done with BMT anyway -
