Should I redo bmt

[Zeonidas]

Hi I am a private and I will be recoursing my bmt as a pes b1 leadership batch.if by any chance I did well in my recourse I will be eligible to enter command school. I would like to ask is it even worth it? Cause right now I am currently in a stay out unit and I get to book out everyday. I kinda feel that entering to command school is a bit overrated mainly because once you graduate to an officer/sergeant you will be the **** of the army. They set high expectations on you expecting you to perform well all the time. I just feel that is not really worth sacrificing my stayout life.

Sounds like a no to me. if it doesn't sound like a no to yourself, then something is very wrong with you. i think u need to see a doctor.

Is there any reason why u are a private and have to redo BMT?

Anyway in my opinion, based on your worry if gotten into command school and given your current booking-out life, not going into command school would be better for u. Nevertheless, if u wan u can aim for SCS and as for OCS, u will only get to ORD as a 2LT. I shall not explain why for this case.

How you know you will enter 'leadership batch' BMT? My brother from enhanced leadership BMT batch and most of them end up in combat vocation as an enlistee rank!

Expectation is one thing but no matter how bad is your performance or conduct, most of the time you don't get demotion once you are a 3SG or 2LT. So it is up to you if you want to try out!

If you are post out from your current unit for PES A/B1 BMT course, you will get a chance to post to command school or vocational school after you POP. However if you are sent for PES A/B1 BMT course, end day you will still return to your unit with the same vocation that does not serve any purpose. So since you have a unit and vocation, your commander do not see the needs or waste an headcount for you to sent or post you out for PES A/B1 BMT course.

I thought all the recourse personnels are put in the same company and after their POP they will go back to their respective unit?

nope. this is depending on when was the enlistee being enlisted or will ORD.

usually they will still go into leadership batch, or taking their recourse with new recruits within the 1st 3-windows of BMT from their date of of enlistment (roughly within 1st 6-months since enlistment).

If after this period, they can still recourse with new enlistees but no longer leadership batch, due to timeframe period. For this instance, they could be in a company where everyone is doing their recourse. All subjecting to manpower deployment.

We all know that anyone can be deploy as a Clerk for the lowest PES like E but not everyone can be a Combatant. These days, SAF are shortage of Combat Fit PES servicemen to be Combatant and they keep lowering the standard for Combatant and modification of PES status for vocations.

So when this Clerk become Combat Fit, Commander have few choices. First is to do nothing and just let the serviceman serve as Clerk in his unit until ORD.

Second is to sent him for recourse which is what you have shared and this group of people will go back to their respective unit. Whether they remain as Clerk or revocation depend on their Commander. During Reservist, they no longer fall under the command of their NSF unit and up to SAF to deploy serviceman. Some may end up as Rifleman in SIR unit cause the requirement to become a Basic Rifleman is just to pass out from BMT and those who are trained in AIT will consider as Advanced Rifleman (Who mostly will end up as Sect 2IC, Team IC & Senior Buddy in a mix up section between basic and advance trained infantry section).

Third will be Commander feel that is is a waste of manpower for a Combat Fit serviceman to become a Clerk. At SAF interest point of view, he will recommend serviceman to post out to go for BMT course and risk of shortage of manpower become no new Clerk posted in as replacement. So this serviceman going for BMT course will no longer under the command of old unit and under the command of BMTC like every RECs. So after POP, it is up to SAF to deploy this sericeman to Command School or Vocational School.
