NS Physical Training Phase
-
hey, i dunno if someone else have posted it but for the benefit of the people here and those going to enlist. I will intro to you what the new BMT Syllabus is all about.
OLD BMT: 6 weeks PTP, 10 weeks BMT.
NEW BMT: 4 Weeks PTP, 9 weeks BMT. (with effect from Dec 2004 for PES A/B, PES C recruits still retain their syllabus)
No more, interval training, circuit training.
New... Combat PT, Ability Group Runs, 30:60 and strength training.
Environmental changes: The training program now is packed than the past because a 16 week syllabus is squeezed into 13. So much so that BMT stuff are taught during your PTP phase. So during the PTP phase, you will learn partially technical handling with some companies conducting the tests during PTP.
There will be no more parent visiting day and it is instead replaced by thurs to staurday enlistment and a guaranteed friday book out 2 weeks later.
However, if during your PTP/BMT there are any public holidays, chances are that you may burn an additional weekend during the fieldcamp week. Meaning you book in on Monday and book out the 2nd saturday.
Less emphasis is placed on SOC, with only 1-2 full run downs scheduled.
Gym training is now own time own target.
DUe to the COmbat PT syllabus, physical training now tend to be draggy. you usually start like at 0730 hrs, and it finishes around 1030hrs. very boring.
any questions??? -
Then go Sispec/OCS and suffer like siao?Originally posted by Ponders:Less emphasis is placed on SOC, with only 1-2 full run downs scheduled. -
now is 2 years national service??
-
no doubt BMT is getting lax gradually, could it be because more white horses are getting enlisted soon or recently?
-
what kind of soldiers are we producing now ? ....
and you're right ... no need to go sispec/OCS, go unit will die cock standing liao .... -
Not a very good change IMHO.
Gym training should not be left to the individual..professional coaching is needed. -

Combat PT: a warm up exercise comprising 10 different workouts. it is to be used as a warm up if the activity you are warming up for is not streneous (IPPT, SOC is considered streneous) THis is supposed to be working out the muscle groups that is essential for army training even after BMT.Originally posted by Peace84:what is Combat PT, Ability Group Runs, 30:60 and strength training.

ABility group runs: the company is sub-divided into groups of 4 according to their ability to run 2.4 km. these groups will run for 20-30 minutes according to their group ability. e.g. a person in group A, i.e. able to run 2.4 under 12:09, will run 400m in 2 mins 15 secs for 20-30 minutes. This is a progressive training, the lap time for 400m will decrease eventually and overall run time will increase.
30:60: this is similar to interval training, but rather than sprinting for a distance, you will be ask to sprint for a duration. So you will sprint for 30 seconds, rest 60 seconds. You will start with 8 repetitions and gradually increase. The lap time will increase to 60:120 later in BMT.
Strength training: This comprises 15 different workouts, involving dumbells (10) and medicine balls (5). This will train up your core and upper limb muscles groups. -

The rationale that Gym now is Own time own training because the new syllabus has enough training for you. So gym is an add-on for those who wants to train more.Originally posted by Icemoon:Gym training left to individual .. then kenna accident how? who takes responsibility?
it's not like you like to go gym anytime you like but GYM training is part of training program... but you just go gym and whether you want to train is up to you.
there is still conducting officer and stuff like that. and there still PTI there. -
i dun qt understand,lets say during my ptp period got xmas and new year day,means i am able to go home?..as long is a public hols recruits can go home?
-
What about those who have Silver in Napfa? Go straight into 9 weeks of BMT?
During my time, if you had Bronze and below, you went for 6 weeks of PTP. -
Now is a new generation mah they want to train a smart soldier,not just a physically fit soldier.hhaa no lah i think because too many parents complain liao loh so bo bian now life in singapore is good mah last time life not that gd soo people can adapt easily in army.

that's quite duh isn't it? anyway seriously how many parents wanna queue up to see their children? i didn't even want my parents to come, so damn silly.

very probable.Originally posted by dyingman:i dun qt understand,lets say during my ptp period got xmas and new year day,means i am able to go home?..as long is a public hols recruits can go home?
why leh, you ask?
...
...
...
because your oc/pc/ps/sgs all wanna go home too. you're not expecting them to sacrifice their holidays for you now are you?
this is an important point a lot of recruits forget. nobody wants to stay back to babysit children.
of course, unless you suay suay kena guard. but that's not exclusive to bmt.... and you very likely will not be doing guard during your ptp period.
so there. -
