Not sure about white horse coy or such... but let's face
reality.... in life nothing is fair .. rank and who your dad / mom
is ... has its privileges. The rest of us have to live with it, or
if we think that being in the privileged class is great, work hard
and fight for it.
From my own NS experience, all I can say is that there are
"scholar" platoons. I was in one for my BMT. There are no special
favours shown to you... of course, the PCs and section cmdrs who
have been specially selected to lead you are nicer ... they choose
the better and more articulate officer and NCOs to lead the
platoon. That is all. They try to teach you more as they know you
are trying to be an officer, hopefully a good one and a senior one
in the future. There's probably a lot more explanation and
reasoning before they set you to do something then in another
platoon.
As for tekanning, we got it the same, probably a bit more on the
mental side, as they are trying to make sure they are doing a good
job, because if the OCS instructors make a comment about the
quality of BMT recruits they get... the feedback will hit the BMT
CO real fast !!!
