can avoid ASLC?
-
im in 43rd batch of BSLC.
just finished our first week.
we had a medical officer who gave us a speech that if we declare an injury with about 2 weeks to go before the end of the course, then we would avoid going to ASLC.
i have a finger tendon injury that I had for about a year now. i received injections to the tendon to remedy the problem, but still when i do chin-ups and SOCs and activities that involve putting strength into my hand, i feel very pain!
you think it will be sufficient enough to avoid ASLC? cuz i dont wanna end up as a BMT instructor man... -
y? BMT instructor = good life + big fark.
u wanna go unit n b a small fry who always kena endless arrows?
wats ur ideal vocation? -
i honestly dont think going out to field camps and having PTs all the time is good for me... especially because im also flat footed and the finger hurts like fuck these days...
no ideal vocation as long as it doesn't involve SOCs and field trainings.
what do you recommend I do? I really need help... -

but you think the injury would be considered genuine or not?
if the MO doesn't believe, i can get a certificate or memo or whatever from the hospital i received treatments in.
i can even bring in the x-ray photograph as proof.. -

I was posted to the Combat Engineers after my BSLC, that was like 10 years ago. Never looked back. Enjoyed myself in the unit. Was thrown into one company that was going to ORD in six months time. The men in the company were a bit more difficult to handle as they are considered old birds. But slowly won them over by knowing when to have fun and when to do work. Although I am no longer serving reservist with the same batch of old birds, I am still on good terms with them. Meeting up for BBQs and stuff.Originally posted by goldencactus:im in 43rd batch of BSLC.

After doing etap 2 with the guys in Thailand, they ORDed and I took over an entirely new bunch of guys. Trained them through from BMT to their first stage of Engineer conversion before I ORDed. I am still in contact with this bunch of guys too, meet up once in a while for dinners.
During meetups, you see some guys getting married, buying cars, having kids... and talk about good old days.
If you were a trainer/instructor you can never feel or understand this aspect. And this is something that I treasure a lot.
In reservist now, in charge of another bunch of guys. Good guys these. Totally enjoying myself. If you were an operational soldier in an active unit, it is always easier to get assimiliated with soldiers. But if you were a trainer/instructor during active service, you might struggle to gel in with operational soldiers. The way you handle them is totally different from the way you do with recruits/trainees.
And it is not always siong. There are training/exercises and standbys. But there are lull periods too when it is possible to do practically nothing for the whole day. And once operational, training will take a more relaxed tone. It is also possible to have fun too during exercises if you can mix well with the guys.
My choice? Definitely joining an operational unit. -
Not all ASLC people go BMTC as instructor.My friend ended up in 4SIR
-
Actually after BSLC you still can go anywhere and is not confirm go to ASLC. You still have to go to your vocation training which can be anywhere.
I agree that it is quite crappy to be an instructor at BMT. I mean unit life is where the fun is in NS. The friends you make and experience you share.
Instead at BMT, people just hate you. -
Maybe u can talk to ur parents to talk to ur OC to let u drop out of ASLC casue they have more say in it.Originally posted by goldencactus:im in 43rd batch of BSLC.

Talk to parents???!!! No need lah. How old already? That guy is already trained to kill with a rifle, he should be able to handle trifle stuff like this. Go talk to the PC, and get your PC to reflect to your OC. That's the proper chain of command.
Will become a laughing stock if the folks have to interfere in matters like this.
