approximately how many hours does a BMT recruit spend on doing footdrills each day?
-
you don't do footdrill everyday
-
ohh. so wad's the proportion of the time where there's drill in BMT?Originally posted by epImetheus:you don't do footdrill everyday
just curious though. -
in a week has about 3 days of 2-3 hours, with water breaks in between. that's during my time.

i think now lesser since they cut short the service to 2yrsOriginally posted by epImetheus:in a week has about 3 days of 2-3 hours, with water breaks in between. that's during my time. -
depends on if u are talking about drill or drill LESSONS.
for drills, you do it as long as you are moving anywhere. eg even if your company is right next to the cookhouse, you fall in, march, then fall out just for the 10 metres -_-
but for drill lessons, there are foot drill and arms drill, meaning without and with rifles respectively. for these, there are a total of 10+ lessons over 9 weeks of enhanced bmt.
each lesson has about 2 hours allocted to it, in which you will have at least 2 water parades and a few more water breaks, how many depends on your CSM and PS and SC (your instructors, basically) -
cmon lets throw in some defaulters parade. wahaha
-
footdrills is easy, wait till u get to rifle drills.
-
went for SAF day parade once really drill till you drop about 2 hours then water break then drill again.

I know that the drill rifles for the OCS commissioning parade are actual weight M16s.Originally posted by Gordonator:hmm... i wonder is their precession drills rifle heavy or not? -
Are u talking abt their Mk rifles? Its supposedly heavier than M16.Originally posted by Gordonator:hmm... i wonder is their precession drills rifle heavy or not?
Provost also use standard M16 (minus bolt carrier - for safety purpose rather than to lessen weight), if they do GOH for example. -
Nowadays hear that NCC oso got precession squad. So are their rifles the same?Originally posted by Gordonator:hmm... i wonder is their precession drills rifle heavy or not?
