NS Ranking for Poly Boys

Porsche Soon SG

I heard from some ex-poly students that in the army, we poly boys could only be promoted to Corporal at most. Whereas those JC students who went into NS, after the 3 months physical training, are sent straight to train as officers who will in turn command us. Is this true?? Can any ex-poly students who had completed NS clarify this??

ok ! whether is it JC or Poly batch, both can be a corporal by end of 2 and 1/2 yrs of duty serving the country ! OCS to be officers must see whether are u capable of bringing out the best in leadship, to excel & to overcome during ur BMT SIT TEST. Wink

SIT is situation awareness test... i hope i got that right

basically, that's the chance for u to wayang that u can be an officer...
they put u in a scenario, some smart alek just had to open his mouth, no matter how stupid his instruction / suggestion is... the conducting officer will take note of him...

hahahahah~! Laughing

that's what they want to see, u give it to them, u are in the list.

jasmine17 SG

i suppose you are one of those who suffered ? Wink

kopiosatu SG

pls lah, suffering... its just endurance.
he want to portray it as suffering is up to him.

ppl can say they suffer in army, its their mentality.
u go in and u think ur suffering in SAF, then u are suffering.

i've said in other posts before, its ur mentality and how u choose to live ur life.

Well ... when i was first in BMT ... i din know abt wayanging becuz i very garang ...

For those pple who had to put up a lot of !&@* and endure the physical difficulty to excel at SIT test ...
u are a freaking jerk ! to suggest tat its juz a wayanging exercise!

So in what way ur gonna justify cursing me?
I stated the truth.
I myself only knew what they really wanted after I went to my unit
Am i jerk to state that it is wayang exercise when that is exactly what they want from the clueless recruits?
Through the scenarios they are hoping someone would do sumthing, dumb or stupid. As long u take the initiative. That's what they want.
In the end, its still wayang.

kopiosatu SG

sua lah, he want to get so emotional, not my problem, i state what they want to see in a SIT test, he hurl vulgarities at me.
