yea and imagine having to go through taiwan/Thailand again... :s16:
and the whole set of tests and theory if im not wrong [see what course they did].. unless can try to find a way out =x as for confidence badge courses, i believe no need to redo?

so dixon, it's re-doing the whole course or delayed commissioning?

btw guys, for specs, not all have to go thru scs and such... usually OOCs [regardless of reasons] have chances at 3sg, but have to depend on availability of slots for courses. very rare to do combat vocs again unless is a pro-term OOC in army.. from trends, those who OOCed are usually directed to non-combat roles [or at most along the side of combat, like RP]

btw for OOC-ing, there can be even more outcomes than what u guys thought of... like 1 of my fren, he failed his final [meaning OOC but still got 3 whites] and had to redo his pro-term in a new vocation.. luckily comm-ed.

Become RP no use, highest usually only CPL rank (a man). if can, usaully better to attain a SGT rank as SGT is recognised as ground commander (formerly known as NCO, non-commissioned officer). CPL is no longer recognised as an NCO.

RP spec? is there such a thing? thought RPs (CFC, CPL, LCP, PTE) are under the purview of MP Spec (SGT)

:s12:

joining the next batch for another 5 very long months of pro-term training , though this might not guarantee that you'd not ooc again for whatever reason; still a risk factor, 5 months too long and many variables to face. if you dun make it again , it comes to square one; might as well do something else of a shorter duration & more assured of success. otherwise if you finally do succeed, there might not be enough time for you to use that 'chocolate bar' or put it to good use & experience. it'll become only a 'chocolate bar' for show as it would be time for ORD...so your whole NS time would be wasted just to earn that single chocolate bar for show only... lol

yup, though it's more commonly seen in air force and navy... some guard posts have MP spec as the commanders, while others are technically RPs [or field defence specialists], doing almost the same work as the rest who are in the guardroom, just that they are guard commander and 2IC.

there will still be time, but in the event of not enough time due medical grounds, something else might be coming up

Hi everyone, I would like to enquire whats the main difference between OCS & SCS. Is OCS much more like BMT in the sense that its very regimental and follow the rules more whereas in SCS you get more freedom to decide what is right to be done and have more power in command during your trainee period?

ocs is just anal in regimental stuff! and learn more planning thus 9 month

but if u osssifer signal/log/arty/AF/NAVY:) is :):)
if u inf GLHF please ooc:)


actually infantry is the best course after service term. During pro term, the theory is more or less the same and there is no night training for pro term unless it's outfield.

Infantry has like way more admin time compared to other vocations. But when it comes to outfield then :)

My friends thought signal was slack and relax. They went in and suffer big time, crashing load of things to study, man study them in 1 week, they study in 1-2days. And at the end, the 72km lol.

Navy seems good, but my friends sleep about 2-3 hours aday, because there are so many things to study and if you fail the tests, it either confinement/extra or if it's serious you may get OOC. The passing score isn't 50/100 but 70 and above etc.

as you would know, OCS intake is per 3 mths..

therefore, when it was my batch to comm, the next batch is 3 months left to commission.

Hence, the two guys only repeat the remaining 3 months and whatever exercises that have left. :s12:

lastexile, the passing mark for tests usually is 75% due to the importance placed on those theory.. same for almost all tests in air force

Choose OCS. My friend gave me this advice and I am giving you too:
Officers have the highest pay.

Now doing my reservist, and I must say there isn't any much differences between officers, specs and men. Just serve and F off.
