Thanks for the offer LazerLordz.
I have a friend who has already went to see the CO regarding the
matter. The CO refused to let him study even though my friend
offered to return to the unit (during his block leave/offs) on days
he has no lessons to attend.
He was rejected.
So yeah. My CO is deifnitely a nobody out there to most people, but
me being under him his word is absolute.
Feels sad to be overpowered by a nobody.

It's hard to "not get caught". All he has to do is check. Of course
you may argue that he probably WON'T check, but then again he has
already made the threat so I'm "liable" for getting charged
rite.
I belive the CO has all the power to "stop his men" from studying
if he's still in NS. I have asked the S1 for help already regarding
this matter, but she is unable to do anything. Bleah.
I guess I really can't do anything about it. Sigh. Thanks all for
the help. Just have to resign myself to the crappy system.
Hi powser,
Firstly, I feel the same way as LazerLordz; it is indeed sad that
your CO is denying you your privilege in clearing your block leaves
and make it time for the NTU enrollment after the months of
dedicated service that you provided for both unit and country. Do
note that i used the word "privilege" as going to school during
your leaves is in no way a "right".
That being said, I would highly suggest to you to exhaust ALL
possible options to fight for your privilege and making it in time
for enrolling into NTU. And by ALL possible options, I mean seeking
out a second opinion from your neighborhood MP or even submitting a
written article to the Straits Times Forum page and bring this
issue into the light.
Those 2 methods are NOT guaranteed to work but at least you have
the satisfaction of knowing that you did your best and probably
"wake up your CO's idea" should he wish to pull out stunts like
that in the future.
Just my 2 cents worth..
