i really dun tink so... cos so far all his actions seemed pre-mediated...Originally posted by mancha:Or he is mentally ill, his judgement is impaired. -
Just now i saw the news at chnn 8,he got extra charges for carrying a long knife outside on early april this yr

what!? so that means if the S1 is lazy and don't bother about doing the paperworks for promotion, does that means a A level diploma soldier might ORD as a PTE!?Originally posted by eac:so now is all depending on ur unit s1 branch pple.
the administrative compulsory promotion to cpl rank nearing ord for a lvl and dip grad is also scrapped. under the old system, even ur rank is pte but u have a lvl/ dip, u auto promoted to cpl by mindef cpc department when near ord. but now, this will ceased.

tink he will get promoted on his last day then ORD... but then lower rank less responsibilities... reservist easier also...Originally posted by Gordonator:what!? so that means if the S1 is lazy and don't bother about doing the paperworks for promotion, does that means a A level diploma soldier might ORD as a PTE!? -
Why do you seem so surprised? Do you feel that educational qualifications should earn a soldier an automatic promotion?Originally posted by Gordonator:what!? so that means if the S1 is lazy and don't bother about doing the paperworks for promotion, does that means a A level diploma soldier might ORD as a PTE!? -
If it is for ensuring he moves up a vocation grade and is able to take on more intellectually demanding roles, yes.Originally posted by lwflee:Why do you seem so surprised? Do you feel that educational qualifications should earn a soldier an automatic promotion? -
Of course, if a job requires that one under go extra training so that one can take on additional responsibilities, then yes that makes sense.Originally posted by LazerLordz:If it is for ensuring he moves up a vocation grade and is able to take on more intellectually demanding roles, yes.
However to promote on the basis of academic achievements for no other reason strikes me as illogical.
He expressed surprised that someone who has Dip/A levels can still remain a private. I find that frankly rather disturbing as it reflects a mindset that has no place in a professional army. -
back to topic, today's papers reported that CPL dave teo will face 2 more new charges including 1 for unlawful possession of a 40cm knife in april at his girlfriend's apartment. whatever motives he has with the knife is yet unknown.

More like
The point is that in the military setting a Diploma/A level counts for nothing.We are talking about people below NCO-level here after all. There should therefore be no need to promote them for the sake of promoting.
I think that if you made it through NS and you have consistently passed your IPPT and do not have too much behaviour problems, then promotion should be given. Educational qualifications should not in the normal course come into it (unless the bugger cannot speak/write!) -

I was planning to take a FH2000 out of camp next Sunday.
Guess i have to scrap the plan. -
yes all RPs are more on the ball now. must check bags of all personals booking out of camp to ensure that except for range and excercise, they do not bring out their rifle and rounds which they are not supposed to, .
all NSFs are also barred from going to cineleisure. -

i remember i used to joke to my frens about the camp security that we can smuggle weapons out by unassembling them and keeping the parts in a bag and just walking / driving out with the bag.
guess that isnt exactly a joke now... -
