i am on mc for 1 week but on the day of book in but i forgot to inform my sergeant or warrant that i'm on mc only my ic. the next morning my warrant call me and scolded like f***. he say now he has no choice but to report thhis to the oc and charge me for not complying to order as we are suppose to inform the sergeant and warrant. may i know what are the charge for this offence. also he said he will report this to the oc but will not say anything else if the oc wants to charge me than he will if not my warrant will keep quiet.in this case would the oc most probably charge me?
Most probably, you will be charged with the punishment of ''SOL'' or "RP". Becos since you have informed someone, but you shold be told your sgt in the first place.
SOL means - Stoppages of Leaves. When others book out, you stayed in. You will need to report to guard room to the guard comd everytime when 10pm or guard turnout (This charge was still on in my times, dont know now still have or not). When you got charged in SAF, SOL and fines wont be recorded, but if you got DB, this offence will be noted down effecting your chances of working in civil setors and going to Singapore Uni.
RP means - Restriction of Privilages. Meaning when your mates go on nights off, you got to stay in. When your company is on block leave or off, you stay in. no canteen breaks, no smoke breaks, only one thing increases, MORE regimental duties...
Non-compliances of orders are actually minor offences. Unles your OC is a f**k type OC, those siao-on ones, you might get a DB charged if he report this to your CO. During my days in 4 SIR as a CO-runner / Clerk / Rifleman, I saw many cases of minor offences being covered up from OC levels. If CO knows, maybe CO charge, when CO charge, it means DB. My CO charged 15 soldiers when he first arrived.
Good luck to you.
