Platoon IC

Calvary SG

In my section. Bed 1 to 4 had already been PLT ic before. Then today they choose someone from bed 12. They skipped my bed. Is there something wrong with me? Does my instructors hate me or something?

Btw i am a IPPT gold holder.

ToffeeClub1929 SG

IPPT gold big fark arh?!!!

ditzy SG

No, they're just saving the best for the last. Laughing

fredex SG

Quite big lah... considering I cannot even pass... haha Laughing

ditzy SG

They put you as platoon IC on the week of ex nutcracker. Your nuts might crack so, I'll pray hard if I were you. Laughing

fudgester SG

The only thing wrong with you is your siege mentality in thinking that your instructors hate you for no reason and that IPPT gold standard is an entitlement for you to be PLT i/c.

For crying out loud - it's just platoon i/c. Don't tell me you cry yourself to sleep every night just because you didn't get to be one.

I know I'm harsh on you.... but that's the plain and simple truth.

Gordonator SG

coincidence lah. just nice that the 1st 3 ICs are from your section in running order of bed number somemore. come on, other people from other sections also can be platoon IC what, not just your section. Laughing

Fatum SG

They probably think you can already make it that's why ......

tip: don't think so much .....

AF2005 SG

unless you really want to be platoon IC.

can be volunteer king?

nightzip SG

my analysis....

since you say platoon ic, not platoon sergeant or sect comd, i believe you are in BMT, rite?

ok, so if your bed is skipped, can have many reasons,

1). Reserve best for last (i.e. you can be PL IC maybe towards last few weeks where its REALLY the time to show out!)

2). Maybe they want you to be store IC, or other ICs, etc...cleaning toilet IC... also the same lah...

3). Or even you have IPPT gold, you NEVER show out any team spirit in your section and also never "lead" or help out ur section mates, or that in JC or poly or etc, you dun have good CCA, like uniform groups, military bands etc..NCC, blah blah...so you are NOT highlighted to take up any posts.

REMEMBER that if you got no chance to show out your skills in IC posts, very HIGHLY you will not be shortlisted for OCS, SISPEC, or any better posts... Confused
NEXT time volunteer more ahh... Mr. Green

LazerLordz SG

CCA counts for nothing when you are selected for command schools.I know of too many people who went to OCS despite being a total shadow in school.

Sometimes, not being Platoon IC might be a better thing. Laughing

nightzip SG

but if not having a chance to be Pl IC, then you got no chance to let people assess you, esp. your PS and PC, so they cannot write something good to your docket and subsequently you wont be recommended to OCS? or SISPEC?

Very Happy

Master -_- SG

It's only appointment. In OCS, Sports IC already a big fuck Rolling Eyes

LazerLordz SG

PC recommendation is not the biggest proportion in which vocation you are allocated Wink

nightzip SG

Hi Lazerlordz, can enlighten us on how we got posted from BMT onwards? Very Happy

Gordonator SG

depends on CPC. your PES status, education, and which unit is currently lacking manpower comes into factor. your IPPT standards might also come into consideration.

Rockhound SG

platoon ic oni.....haiyos...

bcome LPS arh...or better yet...LSM...

platoon IC job so easy

Rockhound SG

u confirmed be a specialist for wat care so much abt being a platoon ic…not like u can crossover cos u signed the contract liao..

insouciant SG

Erhhh.... Maybe bcuz u tend to worry about such silly things thats why they didn't appoint you ic?

Wah lao, take a chill. There are other ways to show your potential.

But no offense, it might be because you think a tad highly of yourself, hence why people don't want you leading. You feeling the need to say that you got IPPT Gold says you are either insecure or boastful. Or both. Not necessarily what the instructors are looking for.

Be humble, show leadership by be good, but assist the weaker and not lord it over others.

Don't worry about it. Your turn will come. Just do the right thing.

Gordonator SG

u all last time is PS appoint the IC or the platoon nominate one? Question

during my time, the PC and PS like to appoint those got leardership qualities one and those quiet quiet type, to give them a chance to overcome their shyness and participate more. Cool

they don't select those f**k-up, bo chup type.
