Questions on PTP training
-
What kind of string to bring along? The one for sewing clothes? You mean the name tag is not on the No. 4 when we are given it?

string? if u r refering to string for sewing dont think tt is necessary since they will issue tt too - green ones for sewing ur buttons.Originally posted by BMEngineer:What kind of string to bring along? The one for sewing clothes? You mean the name tag is not on the No. 4 when we are given it?
yes the name tags come sewn. even if they dont the gift shop can do it for you.
i think i meant black string (the thicker types, NOT for sewing) - for securing of things, e.g. secure pacekeeper, torchlight to sbo. you will find that securing of stuff - making sure they dont go missing, is VERY important. unless u wish to sign 1206.

now, some tips on the fullpack
1. for me i always keep a set of no. 4 in the fullpack in ziploc. even now i ord liao, tt pack is still in my fullpack. oh dun forget to include a pair of socks and some underwear together too.
2. i have at least 2 sets of mess tins: one for outfield use and one for inspection. same applies to mess mug.
3. extra items to keep inside that will come in handy: extra ziplocs (for keeping dirty clothes),
4. there will always be one pack with these items in my fullpack too: (kiwi brush, boot lace, lighter, candles, extra gutters). these are standard fullpack items but they may be in different packs.
5. try to get those thick, translucent white trash bag (NOT those black thin ones). put this inside the fullpack before dumping your items inside (of course all the items will be in packs in ziplocs). this is to waterproof all your stuff. if you are richer you can go and get those bags that serve the same purpose (forgot wat its called)
6. get the really small soapbox and toothpaste and toothbrush for the pack that requires them. get a full roll of toilet paper and remove its core too.
7. if u r required to put in ur PT shoes, well, last time i had 2 sets - one in the fullpack and one for use, so no need in the morning of moving out den rush to squeeze the shoes in. but of course, tt is abit luxurious, so no need to follow. anyway i used the black rubberbands to tie the shoes together, squeeze them into a big ziploc b4 putting them in.
8. eventually i could squeeze all the standard fullpack items into the fullpack without using the side pockets at all, and still have some space in the main compartment. this will be useful when u receive like 3 days of ration which u have to carry together. and eventually, my fullpack was always ready, such that, even if there are outfield ex the next day, i dun have to worry about missing items inside. can jus take and go! of course that comes with experience and own preferences.

I can't find the black rubber band, can anyone tell me where to buy it? And what is it for anyway? Thanks.

u can find it at beach road. but dun fret if u cant get it in time. the gift shop there sells them. and if u r going for ptp, u wont really need to use them so urgently.Originally posted by jzzy011561s:I can't find the black rubber band, can anyone tell me where to buy it?

So what is the requirement to disrupt PTP? Pass all items with at least a D grade enough rite?
-
pass ippt. this means get a D for every station AND at least i think 12 points or something. this shouldnt be a problem if u can get a C at one or two stations instead of a D.Originally posted by BMEngineer:So what is the requirement to disrupt PTP?

Rather, disruption is now on a case-by-case basis. Even if you have managed to get a pass, they might hold you back if they feel that your pass is marginal (at least in my case).Originally posted by wuming78:pass ippt. this means get a D for every station AND at least i think 12 points or something. this shouldnt be a problem if u can get a C at one or two stations instead of a D. -
