  yes ... I was PTP boy ....
  
  but it's a waste of time, most would be disrupted by the second IPPT ...

  many of the boys are not unfit (though sure, there were a few zero fighters), they simply did'nt bother turning up for their NAPFA ...
  
  I mean, lots of poly chaps didn't bother turning up for their NAPFA eh ? .... not when you're swamped with your final year project. ...

  you mean those who went for CDO PTP are not unfit ah. But now, wether pass IPPT during PTP anot, still need to stay for entire duration of PTP already wat.

  oh yeah ? ...
  
  I dunno ... my time, after the initial confinement period, there's an IPPT conducted every week, you clear it, you disrupt ....
  
  I wouldn't say not unfit either, but motivated certainly ...

  meaning those who went in for PTP, passed their IPPT midway through PTP and can get to lead another week of civilian life.

  yes you're right .... PTP anywhere is a waste of time, especially if it was for a stupid reason like not turning up for NAPFA ...
  
  those chaps enlisting soon listen up ! .... GO FOR YOUR NAPFA !!!!! .....
  
  civillian life is precious .... every day counts .....

  Can any one tell me whats the Commando PTP is like? As in what do they do?
  
  And similarly, what do commandos do for BMT... How different is it from normal BMT. Can they book out after 2 weeks?
  
  Lastly, how many ppl get ooc after BMT, and BCT subsequently...
  
  Thanks
