  Not advisable.

  true. direct BMT can be very rush. going for PTP u can learn things slowly, like foot drills, rifle handling, military knowledge like ranks, discipline etc.

  dude, 11.20 is consider very good liao, considering those going for PTP will run much slower than u. silver u know. how about your other stations.

  Gee, I didn't even bother about the extra 2 months thingie. At least I got an extra 2 months worth of allowances. Compare to those who ord that little earlier, still slacking, coz broke.

  whatever. as long as u get silver for IPPT before enlistment, u will serve 2 months less. but now the PTP preiod is shorten to 1 month already i heard.

  Nono..
  PTP >>>> serve 2 yrs
  BMT >>>> serve 1 yr 10 mths
  So might as well use the 2 mths to enjoy civilian life!

  Dun be an idiot..The allowance isn't worth suffering for in SAF..
  If u like the SAF so much, u can volunteer to extend your service when you are about to ORD..
  
  Time passes much slower in NS..
  Dun regret when u realise that what u did was stupid 'just to be with your friends'
