Only a few months to complete can waste a year of their life
waiting for the next intake into Univercity. Example the ORD in
Sep, intake in July, of course they will take disruption than to
waste a year waiting for the next intake.
Yr platoon mates are also using the same reason, too bad the timing
is the same as ATEC. So put yrself into people shoes and dun anyhow
jump to conclusion! 
BTW i not a univercity undergrad nor a graduate. I completed my ns
a few years ago.
