cubsarecute SG

i'm currently undergoing enhanced BMT. i know that my batch is expected to go into command schools after POP.

The thing is that I'm not interested in going into SISPEC or OCS, simply because they're not my cup of tea. I'd rather be a man. Moreover, I've some problems passing IPPT and SOC. (I've not trained myself at all for almost one year since NAPFA, hence I've some problems to even pass my IPPT =.=)

I dun understand why ppl actually aspire to get into these command schs. Is it because of money? or pride? To me, I dun do things for $ if I've no interest in it. And as for pride, well, pride for 2 years, does it really justify the tough training u'll receive in the 6 or 9 months?

They say "pain is temporary, pride is forever" but I thought otherwise. "Pride is only for 2 years".

And of how much use is it for u in your future career as a specialist or an officer? I just dun understand why ppl want to get into command schs. well, unless they're for $, which I dun agree if u've no interest in the job.

you are not expected to go there. about half will become normal soldiers. Don't think too much, you probably cannot make it one.

LazerLordz SG

Not everyone will become a junior commander, and with your perceptible dislike for responsibility and leadership, you might not have to worry too much.

LOL, sgt is the worst rank in the entire army. You get shit from officer and also have to baby sit the men. You get responsibilities but no real power (I know cause I have gone thru SISPEC).

But anyway, if everyone can choose where they are going, who will want to go to SISPEC?

I was in exactly the same predicament as you .....

But I ended up as a man... hehe...and the 2 years flashed past just like that...

Anyway a WO told us once we had our SGT rank, the higher your rank, the higher responsiblity you have.

Lol. Ya lah. If not a man holds a higher responsibility than a 3SGT meh?

More responsibility means higher pay.

It's the same as the working world outside. Higher hierarchy like the manager makes the important decisions thus command a higher pay then the office workers who carry out the decision of the manager thus get a lower pay.

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

Since you have your thoughts sorted out, why this? Just geng and be a man for 22 months and ORD.

16/f/lonely SG

caleb_chiang SG

no point doing things you don't like. no need ask already.

Man!x SG

if you dont have the mentality or attitude, dont bother selecting the commander option. you will be suffering in commander's school or if you made it, in whatever unit you go to.
