that's a gd attitude for a start.
typically, Pes A qualifies u for anything in the Army. during my time, most would have gone to the commandos, guards and amour. some would have made their way to artillery, combat engineers and perhaps naval or the air force. i think its bcos they needed officers n specialists to have 'better' Pes status to lead their men. sounds bias? yes, army works strange enough. just like they require their officers to have either a dip or gd A'levels.
Pes B, also anything can fit. vocations from the rifle man to a commander (specialist n up).
for u to be severly obese, fret not. if u put in ur effort and is consistent in reducing ur wt with improvement to ur overall physics, u should be fine. else, i think perhaps admin posting will be for u. unless u want to see outfield actions, i urge u to start ur own simple training now. some jogging, situps and pushups should help. the best is to train like ur taking ur IPPT test. dun push urself too hard n pls know ur limitations. there's always another battle to fight.
u definitely won't waste time in NS if u think positive n be positive. everything starts from the mind. this applies from day 1 when u go to CMPB. take the instructors feedback positively, even if it sounded otherwise. keep on couraging urself and by that u may even influence others in the process.
dun give up ur dreams...
