Excuse for driving test
-
I'm taking driving lessons currently while waiting for my enlistment. And I'll be eligible to book for a driving test soon, which is July earliest. However my enlistment date is not confirmed yet and the cmpb personnel said that it would be after April, the 2nd intake of JC students. The problem is, is it possible to be excused from BMT for 1 day to take my driving test? (if they were to clash) Or am I not allowed to book for driving test during this period at all? (until everything is confirmed)

No actual policy. If you want to follow policy strictly, that means you need to take leave but no one in army does this.
Whether you can book out just for the road test is discretionary one.
usually the factor you have to meet is,
1) that day have light training
2) you have not missed previous training
3) training you will miss you go road test does not affect your IPPT or any "big" event like field camp, etc
Don't assume it's automatic. ALot of PC/OC will play you want. like will say at first the week before, but during that week, they will threaten you say, you give me attitude, you cannot book out etc.
if it falls during your Field Camp, Sit test, Range, usually the answer is "no". unless they want to take the trouble of accomodating you with another company. -
I think it's a NO regardless of whether u got anything on that day anot.Originally posted by hegu:I'm taking driving lessons currently while waiting for my enlistment.

wussies. -
do take note that trainees are not allowed to take leave. especially RECs. can't imgine what will happen if everyone were to take leave for some minor minor issues. training schedule will be affected
however the OC can grant offs if the reason for is acceptable. for instances, urgent family matters, eg: someone in the family pass away, hospitalised or school graduation.
taking driving test is not one of them. -
ppl in family pass away is actually an automatic grant of 3 days compassionate leave (but for NSF, if only the serviceperson has not leave left)Originally posted by Gordonator:do take note that trainees are not allowed to take leave. especially RECs. can't imgine what will happen if everyone were to take leave for some minor minor issues. training schedule will be affected

yah.. in general driving test is not allowed... but BMTC PCs/OCs have been letting them.
GOt this one time damn idiot guy never go thru PC or OC, immediately find OO with a copy of training program saying he wants to take driving test.
OO let him take, but obvoiusly he got his just deserts after. haha -
thanks, i get the idea now. i guess i've to put the test on hold. and cmpb is not helping by delaying the letter that i'm supposed to receive 4 months ago...

book the test first. can postpone if u need to. postpone = cancelled and rebook. only can cancel 96 hours advance.Originally posted by hegu:thanks, i get the idea now. i guess i've to put the test on hold. and cmpb is not helping by delaying the letter that i'm supposed to receive 4 months ago...

Easy peasy.
