Hmm i know this is a very open ended question and there is never
a confirmed answer, but i'd like to ask (if anyone here knows),
what kind of vocation will i likely be posted to?
I'm a highly unfit individual and even with the hard training in
BMT, my fitness can never match the passing criteria for IPPT.
I'm PES B with
a borderline overweight BMI, and i've declared my following medical
conditions:
Colourblindness
History of fits
History of heat injuries
Eczemia
Chronic insomnia.
I'm a diploma holder with an average gpa (3.2)
I did not do well in the math portions of the test in CMPB, but
i think i've done well in the other areas. But i think i will not
express interest in being a commander due to my lack of fitness and
low stress threshold.
And i've not been a trouble maker or a constantly sick
recruit.
What do u guys think i may be possibly posted
to? I sincerely hope its not rifleman where the commanders
will push me to near death.
PES B means every vocation is available to you except those that
your colour blindness will affect your work like those dealing with
wiring such as electronics, bomb disposal etc.
Results, poly course plays an almost non existant part of
posting. How the test before enlistment affects vocational posting
is still a big mystery that i don't think any forummer is able to
give a conclusive answer about.
I have unfit friends in BMT who failed IPPT, SOC etc and were
still suay enough to be posted to infantry where they trained so
much that they all managed to pass eventually. Fitness carries
little weight in posting except whether you can qualify for command
school or not.
