OOT, not OOC. OOC is for courses and not BMT.

And yes, if you can get 1 more week of MC, you are almost certain to OOT.

Anyway, they are asking how many weeks you are in BMT.

If you have been there for 10 weeks, with 2 more to POP, down-pesing is a BAD idea, especially when you have been through field camp, range....etc.

If you have been there for 3 weeks, and have not done much yet, then go ahead and down PES now.

i'll be goin into my 3rd week.

wad will i do wen my whole company goes for field camp? do i stay at coy line?

Well, you can try to down-pes now, since you haven't done much yet.

Anyway, you may stay at coy line, and you may also be asked to do sai-kang during daytime. A lot will depend on the manpower available.

I was once asked to act as the "enemy" (Heat Exhaustion during field camp, so I rest in bunk at night and help out during daytime), and it was actually quite a fun experience, as I see my platoon mates walk around in circles.

myung SG

if i nv go for field camp,does it mean i fail bmt??

In my time, you must pass two out of these three to complete BMT:

1) Fieldcraft, in short, field camp and all the involved trainings.

2) Range

3) IPPT

A lot depends on your CO nowadays though.

If you somehow manage to up your PES, and you get yourself seriously injured once again, there should be no reason why you will not down-PES.
