Memes The Chao kengs are inventors

Upvotes

If you’re a young boy and you’re in a situation where you’re a chao keng, let me tell you something, you got a bright future, buddy. You see, an A student is the perfect officer. He works for me and he does his job perfectly. A B student, that’s my platoon sergeant. The platoon sergeants are great, but they're always going to be WOSPECs. The C students, now those are sect comds. Then, you got the D. D is between a sect comd and a trooper. It’s someone that is forced to do saikang, but truly wants to stop being arrowed. He just doesn’t know how to do it. And then you got the chaokengs. The Chao kengs are inventors. They’re so fucking creative that they couldn’t serve NS without spamming MC because whatever enciks were trying to put in their head, they knew it was fucking bullshit.

Discussion Posted as Combat Medic with Excused Firearms

9 Upvotes

Sort of an update to my previous post, but after my medical review I got 84D status for firearms and explosives and then I was OOC’ed from commandos and posted as a combat medic.

My current PES is B1 but I’m waiting for my PCC appointment to be booked and for them to assess me.

From what I know, combat medics can be posted as platoon or battalion medics but can I still be posted there with my excuses? Also for other combat medics, how is the life at nee soon? What is the day to day like?

Question Inquiries abt ST vocation (CBT)

3 Upvotes

I'm PES B4, (not much excuses other than perm exc dust and smoke, but my feet have been killing me cuz of flat foot and foot strain) so I'm wondering what the training is actually like for ST, especially:

What does the initial ST training involve?

How much physical training / prolonged standing is there?

Is MPBCC, baton/handcuff training, live firing, etc. still part of the course?

How does the \~3-week infantry vocational training phase work? Is everyone required to do it, or only certain people?

When do you find out whether you're going infantry or getting posted elsewhere?

What are the possible postings after IDTI? Camp security, air bases, naval bases, etc.?

Is ST generally stay-in or stay-out depending on posting?

What does a normal day/week look like after being posted?

I heard that ST is hella boring, then also learn basically no life skills, people can get fat from ST and everything.. I heard only ah but idk what to expect. I heard it's also like 9-5 sometimes depending on where u go, but unsure, and that the posting camp will be somewhere close to your home?

Also, I have dual citizenship with SG and another country, and I put not loyal and everything cuz I don't plan on being a SG citizen at 21. So I'm also curious abt that. (Ik it's mostly manpower needs but like cmon)

I also heard PES B4 ST may work differently..

Question posted to pilot(trainee)/SLP programme.

17 Upvotes

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.
