  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.

   

  Hello, I enlisted to NS for PES E and we shaved botak too. Being bald, everyone suddenly looks the same but a tad different. Day in day out, even having my meals at the cookhouse, see all my platoon mates, all look like clone troopers from the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. I can't even differentiate who is who apart from our name tags, so how to make friends? How?

  You worried about your look in your NS now? Believe me, you should be worried how your warranty officer/OC is going to 'take care' of you in the reminding NS to come.

  Here on an island off the coast of Changi, the journey from a civilian to soldier begins, the symbolic rite of passage from Boys to Men. Recruits take a Ferry into Pulau Tekong and are enlisted directly to their respective companies, where they will spend the next few months training beside their fellow comrades and commanders .
  
  It is a tough, but rewarding journey, recruits not only learn military skills, but life skills in the process that will benefit them many years ahead.
  
  Basic Military Training (BMT) marks the beginning of military life for all Singaporean males at the age of 18. It is the transition from fresh-faced teenager to combat soldier.
  
  They learn basic soldiering skills, which include weapon handling, individual field craft, etc to enhance their survivability in the battlefield.
  
  Besides the training in basic military skills, Physical Training (PT) lessons are also conducted to build up the soldiers' physique and stamina, to instill a firm sense of discipline and teamwork amongst the soldiers.
