ar huh? is i dont understand u.. or u dont understand me..lol. anway..life dont really suck unless u make it or think so.OK lah, I have a good NSF life so...

centrist SG

My commanders have been telling us that if you do too badly for things like SIT test, IPPT, SOC, range-shooting and field camp drills, you have a higher chance in being posted to rifleman/guards.. Is that true at all?

And they've also been telling us that if u choose 'no' to command school, then you'll have a higher chance of ending up as rifleman/guards as compared to choosing 'yes' even when you fail to meet the OCS/SISPEC criteria. Is this true? (if the question even makes any sense to you guys)

Apologies for asking so many questions all the time. I'm just always worried.

Fatum SG

then save yourself the worry ....

one snipe and all your worries would be gone ....

There are alot more vocations than just guards and infantry. Its just the usual thing PC/PS etc will keep saying so that the RECs will be afraid and work even harder.

Obviously if you don't go command school, u have a higher chance of going guards and infantry SIMPLY because people who go command school has a chance of going SISPEC/OCS while you don't. With 2 more places to be posted to, obviously your chance is slightly higher by 1 or 2% so its lame but they are sort of telling the truth.

There is no absolute in posting and PC/PS has very little say in your final posting.

Xelement SG

depends on intake also, like guards they all need ppl or not.

hmm the thing about sit test and all that, i would say its true for MOST ppl. some ppl i duno how they end up in cmd sch also. they did not seem to do well in sit test

True.

They wan to filter the better man to the command school.

But...

I was super "cannot make it" CK kid, that failed SOC, retake range 3 - 6 times, misfired, half-way MC from field camp, half-way MC from SIT test, only pass IPPT (silver, first week BMT), passed swimming. Excuse RMJ, 95% of the time, so much that I didnt even know how to march at all before POP. LOL.

But I got eventually posted to be Navy Medic.

striderz_o405 SG

Cos they suck up.

by default, those people who go through BMT in tekong as leadership batch should get SISPEC minimum if they clear ippt, soc. suck up doesnt mean they get command sch voc all the time. poor peer appraisal = unwanted vocation.

those who chose YES for command sch, and pass the min criteria, but end up in units as men = they screwed up in BMT/or during the computer test at CMPB.

SAF knows how to deploy man according to their personality.

If you slack (physically) all the way, you will end up a slacker vocation.

If you are hardworking all the way, you will end up to be a spec or officers.

If you are in between, you will end up in rifleman or guards

Same as study one,

If you slack (mentally) all the way, you will end up as dropout or ITE

If you are hardworking all the way, you will end up Uni

If you are in between, you will end up in Poly.

I have put all my stats in intelligence so I end up as cleric. But I am not luckless build.

noname_the_nameless SG

No point worrying too much. If I not wrong, your vocation is decided by a NSF clerk inside CPC

Vocation should be done by regulars. Camp posting is done by NSF

shade343 SG

Vocation should be done by regulars. Camp posting is done by NSF

Nope thats not correct. All is done by NSF but supervised by regulars. The NSF has guidelines to follow.

Thats interesting and that gives more people a reason to blame the clerks for cocking up their vocational posting only to OOC within the 1st week of posting to their new vocation due to medical issues that were already known yet ignored during posting.

Hi dkcx,

There is a lifeguard vocation in the army. They are responsible for looking after swimming pools in the army and the safety of the users.

Cheers.
