hi ,
I am currently in ptp bmt now, and i am hoping to get into medic
unit after i pop.
I heard medic must study alot, which i dont mind, cause i really
hate PT lessons. Not say i cant do PT lar, i just dislike it.
I asked around, but my sergant told me that these vocations are
decided by MINDEF and they also dont know. So i am hoping maybe
someone can draw some light onto how to increase yr chance to enter
medic vocation. I know its immpossible to gurantee yrself in what
ever vocation one likes, but i want to try my best to get in.
Must medic pass IPPT? Will failing ippt increase yr chance of
becoming medic as medic is less physical then other vocations?How
will the SIT test affect the vocation outcome? can we pretend
-pretend, say my buddy got injured then i go to try do first aid on
him in front of my commanders?
I am not trying to chao-keng or what lar, just trying to make my
next 1yr plus less horrible for myself. I do know that Combat medic
also have physical stuff to do, but its less then other vocations
right? beside, i am really interesting in learning medic stuff,
rather then learn how to fire more weapons and do stupid exercises
all day long.
Someone asked my OC how to become medic, my OC told him that
must go SISPEC then become medic specialist. But my OC is damn siao
on type on, ranger guards kind one, and everytime make it sound
that OCS and SISPEC is like must go one. so is my OC correct?
BTW i am PES A, so i know i cant chao-keng and be service medic,
like those in Tekong Medical Centre.
Try to be a lifeguard then. When they say there is a lifeguard
selection trial about 2~3 weeks before you POP, go for
it.
