Good grades in studies might indicate an 1. Adaptive mind, 2. A mind quick to absorb new data and assimilate it?
I think that that is one of the reasons officers are chosen because they have good grades. Not because of the grades itself (which means nothing much), but that the grades might be an indication of some of the qualities an officer needs in a war.
You need a quick mind to react to the rapidly changing tactical situation correct? You can't wait for one hour to pass-it might be to late. Flexibility-learn to adapt to what the enemy is doing (I think you know what I mean. I just can't seem to put it in English)
No doubt, grades are not everything, but they might be an indication that "this person is officer material". You only spend a short time doing your NS. How fast can you be observed for your personality traits/etc that will determine whether you are fit to be an officer?
I think the use of grades by the SAF is understandable. However, I DO NOT agree when they base EVERYTHING on grades alone. Eg. ______ (fill in yourself)
