Rotc (military Science) Becomes Mandatory Again

[TNT Hsia]

I learned more about survival training from the Aetas -- & have more respect for them -- than the ROTC. Pweh!

[paeng]

They can make ROTC mandatory if they fulfill the following requirements:

 

1. Make sure that the AFP can provide uniforms to all cadets, and that means at least two sets: combat and parade. As it is, cadets have to pay for their own uniforms, which should not be the case. I am told even para-military units have to pay for their own uniforms, which should not be the case.

 

2. Provide real weapons, not wooden props. And provide at least armalites, not older weapons. Make sure that there is target practice weekly, and the AFP must pay for everything, including transport, ammo, etc.

 

3. Provide real equipment, not theory. These include artillery for arty units, radio equipment, bivouac gear, transport and combat vehicles, med kits, etc.

 

4. Use drill instructors, not cadets.

 

5. Provide specialised training, including the use of specific assault weapons various exercises (blank, live-fire, etc.).

 

6. Provide insurance and provisions for medical aid.

 

Again, everything must be paid for by the military. Cadets or their schools should not pay for anything.

 

Finally,

 

7. Provide everything mentioned above to all AFP soldiers first.

swerte ko di ko na naabutan yung rotc na mandatory. pero yung CAT sa highschool ayusin din nila. teka, mandatory pa ba yung CAT sa highschool? hehehe... masama rin kasi karanasan ko sa CAT....

 

manyak yung CAT commandant, maaangas yung mga officers, bias yung pagpili sa mga officers, ala kaming natututunan.. puro bilad lang. tinuruan lang kami kung pano magmartsa. talagang walang kwenta. mas excitting pa kapag tumatalon kami sa likod ng school at nakikipaghabulan sa guard. bwehehehehe...

 

nakwento nga pala nung kaibigan ko sa mapua, yung ROTC nila dun pagtitimplahin ka pa ng kape at gagawa ng sandwich. hahahahaha...

I think its ok.. ROTC for me defined a new meaning on the word camaraderie and discipline.

 

and its a good experience too.

 

dati ayaw ko din yan. sobrang naghaharap ako ng paraan para makaiwas..

 

but then nung nagstart na, I felt a different part of myself come out of me..

 

and friends I gained on the training are some of the friends I value most..

 

thats just me of course..

[Bolj]

kaya dumadami mga tarantado na mga kabataan d2 sa pinas dahil sa simpling ROTC class d pa gustong kunin....if we can't show discipline in a simple subject anu pa kaya kung nasa matataas na tayu na position...laziness....gus2 lang madali ang lahat tsk tsk tsk :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

ROTC para sa lahat ng bakla at kalalakihan!

[mark_pogi]

ROTC is a NO-NO

 

mukhang mas ok pa yung NSTP.

If they can not implement the program properly, it's better not to reintroduce it again.

[howard_the_duck]

hay, ilibre mo lang ang officer pwede na, nasa baon na yan

[demonkyo]

Under the sun with a fake gun and if we ever go to war in 5 minutes we've already surrendered :thumbsupsmiley:

 

And you can pay your officers every sem and they'll give you a passing grade ... at least in my school and some of my friends as well

[doh]

ROTC = Human Shield

 

we don't even have enough firearms to arm the police, what more soldiers?

tumpak....

Actually ok naman yung ROTC sa kin regrets ko lang eh wala akong matutunan.

Kasi puro martsa lang naman pnaggagawa. Sana nagkaron ng iba pang

program o syllabus para dun like survival training, self defense, basic weapon

handling like rifle assembly at practice shooting kung pwede nga pati first aid.

Kaso puro martsa lang at inisan at paangasan eh. Dapat ang ituro nila dun

disiplina. Kung yung ROTC mayron mga training tulad sa ng nasabi sa taas eh

kahit gawing mandatory to marami agree kasi may makukuha silang skills and

knowledge. Sa iba kasing country maganda yung program for ROTC talagang

worthwile sa atin pere perahan lang eh. Sana mabago yung system nya.....

There's nothing wrong with a little bit of military training to instill discipline to the Filipino youth.

 

The problem perhaps is the implementation of the program in all. Some officers see this as financial oppurtunity. The Military program itself is faulty. I mean did any of us do anything good in ROTC aside from basking in the sun and marching endless not knowing which is left or right. In other countries, their program involves some community assistance as well as job oppurtunities. For all we know the ineffectivess of our ROTC program may just reflect the Ineffectiveness of the Philippine Military or worse the Filipino himself as a person.

This is so true....

Kasi dapat may program talaga hindi puro martsa lang left and right. Ok sana sya eh

kung ang intensyon talaga eh to produce reserves soldier na may discipline kaso hinde.

Yung ngang mga officers namin pag nanghihikayat eh ganto ang sabi "mag COCC daw

para pag nagkagyera may ranggo para sa opisina lang daw" ganun eh katwiranng duwag

yun eh..... Sad to say mali yung foundation...

Ok sanang maging forging ng discipline to kung mababago nila yung system...

[stankyou]

its useless, rotc is a complete waste of time and money. naabutan ko pa yan yun and i hated it soo much. imagine mo na lang na ang dami po pang school work na dapat tapusin pero ano ginagawa namin? nakabilad lang sa araw. nasasayang ang mahigit kalahati ng araw para lang mag bilad sa ilalim ng araw. ano natutunan ko? wala... ay meron pala. mag phonetics. ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE, DELTA, ECHO, FOXTROT!!!! HARAP SA KALIWAAAAAAAAAA!
