As long as u in leadership batch, regardless JC, poly evne ITE, u got a high chance of command sch. They don't look at ur cca, its ur performance in tekong that counts as well as that test u do during medical checkup.

well .. for some units, men like corporals do have absolute "power" over sergents ..
and things pass down from officers to sergents .. if man are busy or have other excuses doing their daily chores .. sergents have to do it .. :D

Specs are sandwich between men and officer so they often get stuck inbetween all the shit. However a spec normally has a better relationship with his men than an officer esp if the officer do not step down on the ground.
Specs are generally considered the worse place to be but if you handle it right, it can also be a very enjoyable experience.

haha thats better. U got enough time to think of NS after ur A's.
A men, spec, officer u can decide again when u are actually serving ur NS when u start to realise what each role is more like though tekong is quite a deceiving place in terms of that.

i am not even in sg and yet i still have to pay mess fees! grr
man/spec/OCS not important - just tell them you want to go to "Combat Engineers" !!!

Seems like you have not served bmt yet. If you have than you won't say that.
like everyone say, being man or spec or officer, there are pros and cons. But whatever it may be, as a NSF whether you're a man, spec or officer, you'll forever always be under someone.
And when you are under someone, arrows will fly. The higher your rank, the heavier your responsibilities.
You can never run away from being punished. My OC lost a SAF item also still have to face punishment...7x extras (CDSO).
umm im not sure wat does man mean :S btw during the chek up i wanted to get out early and randomly did sum of the sections in dat exam so does it affect my chance to enter ocs etc hugely? If so then so fckn saking

Good chances it will have some effect though noone is clear how exactly the test affects posting but theres been many examples of ppl who anyhow do and got bad postings.
Originally posted by dkcx:who cares about bmt. What ppl always talk about is unit life where u spent the bulk of ur ns life. If u so petty can’t forget ur bmt life then i nothing to say but bmt specs are supposed to tekan the recruits to wake them up to wat is military life.
So unit specs are not suppose to tekan their men to make them wake up to wat is military life?

If after the duration in tekong u still cannot change urself and behave like a solider, there is nothing stopping any spec from continuing to tekan u till u behave.
However in units, the specs generally have to have a good working relationships with their men for training, exercises etc etc since cooperation and working together is important for them to acheive good results. Unless your behavior/attitude is not up to expectation, most unit specs won't constantly give their men too much trouble for no reason.

So if you are in combat vocation like rifleman etc, than your unit specs won't takan you anymore too?

Theres a difference between less and not at all. If your behavior or for many combat units in general, someone in the platoon etc don't behave, everyone will be tekan together so that they build up a all for 1 and 1 for all attitude.
However if a specific individual continues to give trouble or be uncooperative, unable to work with the rest, there is nothing stopping any spec from giving the individual extra tekanning.
