Q & A

To Passerby:
I think there's not much of choice, unfortunately. Im not trying to dampen your spirits but we have to be realistic too. Unless you wish to go directly into the workforce, i think getting your O levels cert will be the next best step. From what i know (maybe you can check their websites if you want to do your own research), even those private diplomas offered by private institutions such as SIM would only accept candidates with acceptable no. of credits from their 'O' level results. It depends on what course you wish to pursue. Perhaps a more specialized diploma offered by Laselle, NAFA for talented individuals in arts and design may have a better chance, if you do have the passion and talent.
Much being said, actually it depends on what you want to pursue in life. Once you know that, the path ahead is clear for you to choose for. Begin with the end in mind!

To Bobo:
Im not sure if the directives has changed over the past year, but as far as i know, YES you have to recourse the full pro-term again. That being said, the cadet would need to join the next batch of OCTs. I know, it sounds depressing. But going through army, especially command schools, is never easy. Good luck!
