Any idea what to expect? Tks.

Hi all, currently posted to SCS pro term as an MP spec.

However, I am in the midst of reconsidering if I should continue SCS or OOC. On one hand, becoming a 3SG would give me more personal freedom and welfare. On the other hand, I heard people say the responsibilities are high and may have lesser time for yourself compared to being a men.

There are two key deciding factors for me:

1. I want more time for myself outside of NS to focus on uni applications and portfolio for next year.

2. I was told that OOC-ing would likely mean I would be posted to infantry as a men which I absolutely don't want. I was from mono-armour in BMT, so would like to know if that would increase my chances of going back to armour as a man (which i would much rather prefer).

I am already being affected mentally because of the strict regimentation and discipline rules for MP SCTs, and therefore have a valid reason to OOC. Would like to hear your thoughts on this.
