  Thanks! It was ok. Mostly only lessons. Only some PT and FootDrill. Next week should be full force liao. My CPL tell me cant go ERS coz my deg over 500. He say can try for medic. Also, if you fail IPPT, must you retake the 4 weeks course again??

  1st week usually kinda relax but get ready from the 2nd week onwards..

  regarding the ippt, its best that you try to pass & most probably they are just trying to scare you but still don't take things for granted..

  Alpha platoon 1 here... damn it .. kena kilat group.....

   

  Anyways, yeah I'm mentally trying to prepare for my 2nd week.

   

  Tommorow going to get new specs, and will try to find out my degrees. If its below 500, I want to go for ERS.

   

  Yet again, there is three more weeks to make me change my mind about stuff.

  Hey, can tell abit more about ERS. As in the training and stuffs like that?

   

  Just being curious. I think I'm not going to join ERS, since its tough and all.

  you may like to visit SCDF website for career opportunities..

  assuming once if you've tried out ambulance medic & you like it, signing on would mean to be a paramedic which means in other words, you're the crew leader..

  Going back inside today again. Looks like I cant be ERS or Firefighter coz my degree above 800. Trying to be clerk or comm officer. But vocation will only be chosen after the BRT stage right? Now only halfway thru PTP. Anyway, BRT more tough then PTP? I cant stand the strength and endurance training. Very tough lol.

  try to select a few vocations that you may like & work towards your goal..

  BRT is not that tough coz that's where you'll learn the basic rescue training such as the different types of equipment, 1st aid skills, etc but occasionally there still be some physical training here and there..

  Just booked out. Strength and Endurance training is tough and a chore for me. However, I just try to give my best and all. Currently, I think I'm the weakest in the whole platoon.

   

  Due to that also, I told the encik during the ERS interview that I don't want to join the course despite having a huge interest in it because I'm weak in physical training.

   

  Don't even think I'm going to pass my IPPT.

   

  So freaking dissapointed. Feel like crying when I gave up the chance to be a SGT. Life in BRTC is so going to be dull now.

  come on, have some confidence in yourself & if you think you're the worst, there will always be someone who will be more worse than you, its just that you didn't know..

  anyway, all the best for your remaining PTP stage..

  Yea man. It will be dull, if you want it to be dull. Being a SGT is not everything ok. I know of some who regretted being a SGT.

  yea , i agree , when u undergoing the course then you know how much admin you need to do

  Anyway no worries , last time i also weakest in platoon , cant even pass ippt

  They send me to ERS i also try my best , if you have the heart in ERS , there no reason you cant survive there.

  Last time i wear bunker gear 10min under sun K.O. , but now i used to it

  Last time i cant even do 1 pull up , but i now can do 9 and a ippt silver

  If you really want to go ERS fight for it , even if you cant make it through , you will still be posted to somewhere

  silvernitrate: There are 2 paths to achieve a SGT rank;

  1* ERS

  2*Standard 6-mth promotions, dont hentak kaki, pass IPPT by CPL rank and go for VSCC(Vocationalist Section Commander Course/ aka sgt course)

   

  Your hopes are still there just to let you know.

   

  BRTC life is the most fun, you will come to realise this in future when you are chucked aside to work on your own, so be optmistic and enjoy your time guys.

   

  *Intake - 101st

  Rank - SGT
