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...
