Yup, combat-fit diploma and A level holders go to Enhanced BMT, regardless of what they got for NAPFA.Originally posted by 12qwaszx:eh.. how come now enhanced bmt is for higher educated ppl only? when did they changed this?
last time enhanced = napha silver
PTP = napha failed
Obese = obese ppl
now changed liao huh?
how can they decide who can go sispec/ocs before BMT?????
A Level/Diploma:
NAPFA Silver/Gold = 10wk Enhanced BMT
NAPFA Bronze/Fail/Never take = 6week PTP + 10wk Enhanced BMT
Others:
NAPFA Silver/Gold = 8wk Standard BMT
NAPFA Bronze/Fail/Never take = 6week PTP + 8wk Standard BMT
The Enhanced BMT has additional modules to train and select the recruits for commander positions (SISPEC/OCS), otherwise same as Standard BMT.

Anyway this system has been in place at least for the past 4 yrs liao (when i got enlisted).
I don't think you need diploma/A-levels to go SISPEC? (Not sure abt this, maybe the SISPEC pple can clarify?) So O-level holders still stand a chance to crossover to OCS if they excel in their training.
Hope this'll help clarify the various queries.. -
Damn SIT test sounds intimidating...thinking under extreme pressure isn't exactly my strong point...argh. I hope i can get through well when that time comes.

the way i see it...the only thing intimidating about SIT test is that i dont noe much abt it..anxiety i guessOriginally posted by Jazzswing:Damn SIT test sounds intimidating...thinking under extreme pressure isn't exactly my strong point...argh. I hope i can get through well when that time comes.
i dont think there is much "extreme pressure" compared to after BMT when you are posted to unit or command level schools like OCS and SISPEC...
as my frens always say...BMT is a Holiday resort compared to elsewhere.. -
the ability to think and work under pressure is an attribute valued by all, not just the military. develop it and it will benefit yourself the most.Originally posted by Jazzswing:Damn SIT test sounds intimidating...thinking under extreme pressure isn't exactly my strong point...argh.

Everyone got to go SIT test, whether you enhanced or obese or otherwise..
didn't remember got any special lessons during BMT for sispec/ocs selection leh. -
Ya, i think you were referring to the same system as i wrote above. As long as you have diploma/A levels or equivalant(which includes Laselle-SIA and Informatics qualifications), you go enhanced BMT, whether in the guise of enhanced PTP-BMT, obese or just direct-intake enhanced bmt. So if a recruit goes for SIT test, means he's in enhanced.Originally posted by 12qwaszx:i enlisted late 99' leh... that time if you are poly / JC you'll go tekong. then if you napfa silver and above, you go enhanced, otherwise you go PTP.

Anyway i don't remember undergoing any special lessons during BMT too, but again don't have another guy undergoing standard BMT to compare with. I suppose all the SIT test and platoon i/c assessment stuff are part of this..
