BMT: 13 March 2014 BMTC Pulau Tekong NS Enlist
-
Hello, as mentioned i will be enlisting on 13 March 2014 at BMTC HQ.
I'm graded under Pes B1L1 and required to undergo PTP with basic BMT.
Some questions i want to ask from all of the experienced / lao jiaos
1) Will the measure BMI index again ? Because i was graded pes BP before for being over 26.5 BMI, now im currently 26.3 but I'm currently doing bodybuilding, im afraid they will check again before we go into tekong and grade me again
2) How will the PTP be like? Slack or hardcore ?
3) As heard from some people about the tekong flu, is there anyway to avoid that ?
Help thanks ! -

1) For pesBP, most probably BMI will be measured again when you enlist.
FYI: Whether you will get RT(remedial training) on weekend or not depends on your ability to achieve your targetted weight. E.g, your weight will be taken before you book out and if you gained weight over the weekend, goodluck to you. However, these are all subjected to your company.
2) Pes BP will undergo tekong training for 19 weeks. There is alot of physical training but they are all progressive. You will have some interesting physical activies such as aerobics, kickboxing and etc. It is pretty fun. These physical activies are only catered to the Pes Bp.
I know some weight lifters who went to Pes bp but their ippt gold. As long you are exercising regularly, it should't be hardcore to you at all.
3) Keep your bunk clean and drink more water. There isn't much things you can do about it. If you are so kiasu, take vitamins! Sometimes embracing is better than avoiding, Tekong flu is only for awhile and it wont bother you in future anymore.
TS, hope this helps!

Don't worry, be happy!
Non-swimmers will be issued with these:
In BMT, there will be weekly swimming beginners lessons for non-swimmers.
Those who passed the swimming test (50 metres breaststroke and tread water) will not join the remaining swimming lessons. Swimmers will just have free time to rest in bunks when swimming lessons are conducted for non-swimmers.

Types of Basic Military Training
PES A/B1 BMT
This 9-week programme trains combat-fit recruits in the basic military skills to prepare them for advanced vocational training. The programme includes weapon training with the SAR 21 rifle which will teach recruits technical handling and marksmanship skills; a Battle Inoculation Course that simulates a real battlefield; a Field Camp which develops basic survival skills; progressive training to complete a 24-km route march which builds combat fitness and endurance; and hand grenade training.
For those who fail to achieve the NAPFA test silver award, they are required to undergo an 8-week Physical Training Phase (PTP) prior to the PES A/B1 BMT.
PES BP BMT
As evidence has shown that obese recruits are able to achieve optimum fitness levels and weight loss in about 19 weeks, the new BMT programme for recruits with Body Mass Index (BMI) scores exceeding 27.0 will be 19 weeks. This BMT programme is designed to help obese recruits improve their physical fitness progressively while equipping them with basic soldiering skills and knowledge.
PES B2 BMT
Enlistees who were PES C1 previously underwent a 7-week BMT programme. The new 9-week PES B2 BMT programme will be conducted for recruits who are medically fit for deployment in selected combat and combat support vocations, such as signal operators, combat medics and naval system operators. These recruits will be given a new medical classification of PES B2, in place of the existing PES C1 classification. This is to ensure that the medical classification of our soldiers is consistent with their deployment. The new 9-week programme will include customised physical training, as well as basic combat training to prepare them for their combat and combat support roles.
PES C BMT
The 9-week BMT programme will be conducted for PES C recruits. This programme will include light physical training and vocational training to prepare them for combat service support vocations, such as service medic, and those related to logistics and administration.
PES E BMT
The 4-week BMT programme will be conducted for PES E recruits. This programme will focus on, vocational training as well as National Education, SAF core values, regimentation and discipline to prepare recruits for combat service support vocations. -
