Which type of Basic Military Training (BMT) will I undergo?

You will undergo a Basic Military Training based on your medical status and NAPFA test results. The types of BMT are as follows:

Medical Classification Types of Basic Military Training

1) Operationally-Fit (for PES A and PES

* Attain the NAPFA Silver or Gold Award Basic Military Training

* Do not obtain the required NAPFA test standard. 2-month Physical Training Phase (PTP) followed by Basic Military Training.

2) Non-Operationally Fit

* for PES C enlistees Modified Basic Military Training

* for PES E enlistees 1-week Residential PES E Induction Programme

3) Obese

* 4-month Obese BMT

26 wks sound like a pretty long time to me...

trust me that BMT is fun. after you pass out you will miss your BMT mates and the training. even when you working, you will miss BMT 'shiok'.

i think spiderone go add up the 10weeks and 16weeks together thus the 26weeks.

[optimus prime]

maybe go 'cookmando' camp- 6 mnths

commando- 9 mths.

Relac Spiderone, now BMT is a shalet!!!!!

Free food, free training, free transport, everything free!!!!

So dame relax... wonder what if really got war....

Just remember some little tips:

(1) Attn C is a trump card when used at the appropriate time

(2) Attn B can be a killer instead

(3) Knowing the MO is a GOOD thing

the last i heard, you don't even need to pass IPPT and SOC to POP anymore.

Maybe MINDEF is paving the way for a female friendly army experience... Sewing classes next?

[terryansimon]

technically, if you don't pass IPPT or SOC during your BMT days, you do not POP. I repeat. you DO NOT POP.

but if your reason for not passing it is due to medical problems or other problems *because you're too unfit to run, or because you CMI, etc etc*, then you can and still will be sent to a combat unit. maybe not as a combat soldier. but you're still required to do either your IPPT or SOC. although if you need to do SOC, you must be a combat soldier...so that one I don't know.

I've got a few friends who didn't POP because they failed their IPPT. but they didn't go for any re-course. instead, the finished up their IPPT in the unit, and made sure they passed it. then no re-course was required from them.

I hope I made sense. (=

[wolfie]

if I may add...

I POP-ed w/o passing my SOC (passed my IPPT though). Perhaps the most impt thing is to fail your FFI (fit for instruction) test (it's conducted near the end of your bmt). Only den the probability of u going to a non-combat unit raises...

[SpiderOne]

im going to fail everything

[diabolus]

GOOOOODBYYYYYYYEEEEEE SPIDEY!!!!!

good luck!!!!!

We'll miss you!!!

wahahahahah!!!!

[Archilles19]

Wat U mean`fail everything'??????

U will discover that those things that U cannot do in this normal life suddenly being capable of doing it.......like clearing the SOC.......or jumping from high ground of more than 2 metres.....believe me some of those big size boys are afraid to jump

[Travy]

Wont fail one la....

The important thing is running. If u can run... no need to worry liao... Trust me...
