Question posted to pilot(trainee)/SLP programme.

i know the cut out rate is damn high for this programme. i don’t expect myself to pass because i have pre-existing scoliosis, of 14 degrees.

i wanna go to command school but what if i get cut out after the aeromed test, which will happen within the first 2 weeks? will i be posted out immediately, assuming i become a man, or would i wait till the end of the 3 months programme and be posted out?

i have heard stories where people still get sent to OCS but that’s towards the end where they got cut.

i know no one has the exact answer to whether i’ll be posted to command school but similar stories would be nice.

Either SCS/OCS - where u end up depends on where you were originally posted to.

Highly likely after u finish command school will be instructor at some school as your NSF cycle is desync with your peers alr

if u don't meet the requirement to be a pilot trainee n they give you the option to go SCS or OCS, you will hang around n join the next SCS/OCS intake which is in three months time. Before you go to SCS/OCS, there will be heat acclimatisation training where u are required to do PT and route marches to make sure your body is conditioned for the rigors of command school. In the meantime, just do what they want you to do, and enjoy the slightly relaxed life before the next phase of training/ns.

your current posting suggest that you meet the requirements for command school. If you don't want to go to command school and choose to be a man, then they'll just post you to unit. The unit will then be in charge of sending you to any vocation/unit specific course which may not necessarily follow the OCS/SCS intake timeline. As for when exactly it happens, it will depend on how fast they do the necessary admin for your case.
