  I have done this before. Who bothers about outfield ICT, high key or low key? You should apply education deferment with documentations showing that you are doing night class/exam. Then let the SAF boss judge if he wants to defer you or give you time off. If you dont do that, he might not give you time off at all. You are the one who is studying, not him, remember that. Consider that a mono-intake group, and 50% is doing private diploma after ORD, how to get the platoon out for exercise?!

  yea....try to apply for deferment. One of my platoon mates defer quite a few yrs, didn't see him for some ict yrs due to work and study. Now he got his mba...but the unit is in its 8th cycle and he only finish 4 cycles. Got its disadvantage to defer.

  But if your class/exam only few days then depends on your direct superior/OC. They may be able to release you give u time off. Also depend on your role in the unit and if your class clash with the training program.

  Actually, if I am not wrong, when the platoon finishes all the 8 cycles, it will disband. And this guy might not be called back at all for infantry platoon. Cose, it does not make sense to put this odd person into another platoon when it has already be filled up.

  Anyway lol. My boss is going 40 years and yet he has only done 6 ICT in total. There is an advantage being a LCPL...
