Hmmm... Just curious...

If I also got a temp PES C for 6 months like Boo, what would happen if I tio up PES after 6 months?

Will my vocation be perm after BMT?

BMT still consist of exercising right?

After watching Ah Boys to men, somehow disturb by sharing of bathroom, bunk, etc. I'm kinda anti-social :/

If you up PES, you will be posted back to tekong for PES A/B BMT and be revocated after BMT.

PES C BMT still will have exercising just its more relaxed compared to PES A/B

hey peeps .. any idea about the 8 weeks ptp ? >.< quite confuse le >.<

[Slynn]

the 8 weeks PTP consists of mostly exercises and training only (running, swimming, interval training, strength training balblablbla)

You'll not be touching range, field camp and grenade till the 6-7th week or so when ur PTPphase is ending (unlike enhanced, i think they go for field camp in week 3)

So overall it's quite slack larh. As u spent 2 more months in there, the pace is much slower

[Guest Guest]

We don't call that downgrade. I think we call that "excuse", i.e. excuse running, marching etc etc. and as mentioned above, bring it to your medical centre of your unit.

[Guest Nigga]

Hi I am going for the check up soon.

Ok I have a tattoo the size of a palm on my thigh and it's pretty high above so can't be seen when wearing normal PE shorts. But here's the thing I kept it from my parents.

If I declare NO tattoo on the form they mailed me will I screwed when they found out or me declaring the tattoo on the checkup day?

Will parents be informed?

What should I do?

u need to come to me and i will pull down your pants to check your tattoo so as to access whether you need to declare. dun worry, since you said your tattoo is pretty high on your thigh, i will not pull down your pants totally.

You should definitely tell the truth on your form. They will find out, and it will not be good if they found out you lied.

I don't see why your parents would be informed if you have a tattoo, unless you need them to sign the form?

[MarsViper]

I going Mono Intake Infantry unit .. heard from friends said that BMTC at Pulau Tekong is quite different then the one at doing in camp BMT

[SeannyShortcake]

It sure is.

You won't get the same feeling of dread,stuck on an island away from home and everyone around you is under strict regimentation.

Mono-intake camps - You can be sure the rest of the camp outside the battalion is slacking way harder.

[MarsViper]

Is that true befor you ORD you have need to be done another medical check up ? Or no need ?

[deathblade88]

Ok i have a question. I applied for overseas leave from 09 Feb - 12 Feb and it was approved by my OC + unit clerk. My passport and stuff are all settled (e.g. passport validity date exceeds 6 months, etc). Did the necessary stuffs like informing my immediate commanders and stuff and yeap it was approved too.

1) What else do I need to do?

2) Im still going in to camp on Friday, 08 Feb but can I start my trip immediately after I bookout? Like around 6pm? ICA/SAF wont be so anal as to charge me DB for AWOL just cos my overseas leave starts at 0000HRS, right? I understand theres recalls/mobs and i would get charged if I dont respond but my current status as a trainee means that I wont be liable for mobilisation by my unit (as said before by my superiors)

Really confused. Thanks for your prompt replies.

[Guest Guest]

what is the rationale for checking dick during med check up?

I am assuming you are NSF. firstly you need to check if you have given your MP branch submission of your overseas returns. that will cover you in case of recall.

for question 2. you CANNOT start your trip any time before 2359H on 8 Feb. that is technically AWOL. dun risk it. if you wanna travel after you book out of camp, u need to apply another half day leave. dun risk it by doing things like tat. not worth it bro.

hope this helps

is there any rule for your reply to question 2? I tried looking online for back-up rules regarding this point but couldn't find any... or do you have any case evidence to back it up? cheers, just being concerned

[deathblade88]

what is the rationale for checking dick during med check up?

juz imagine a trans in NS.................

[Guest Guest]

Really? Just that?

[descca]

Its to check for Hernia

[smallboy]

Just a kind note, bring some vitamin C pills inside to boost your immunity, would recommend Redoxen.

I learnt from my lesson cause I was sick just 1 day before my first book in Tekong. I was allowed to go to the Medical Centre on the morning of book out day. Luckily I was able to be discharged in time by the MO as I have fully recovered with the extra rest and medicine, and book out with my company.

Quite a lot of people will be coughing and catch a fever during the first 2 weeks as its the getting used to period. So protect yourself.

[Guest Guest]

Coughing in tekong bmt is normal (having fever is not) cos of the tap water u drink there. U dun have time to fill ur water bottle using water cooler and the jerry cans are all filled using tap water.

But not to worry, cos we have all survived.

Anyone knows why the tap water in tekong will cause us to cough?

[SeannyShortcake]

Water in Tekong is largely obtained within the island.

The very water you bathe and drink from comes from the reservoirs and naturally do not go through the more complicated purification processes as the water in the mainland.

Comparing Tekong water (I brought some home from camp) to tap water in Singapore,Tekong's has a thicker taste and way more particles can be observed floating about inside.

[Guest Guest]

The reason for Tekong cough is very simple - you have a large mass of people coming together, sleeping, eating and training together for months. Whatever germs that are present, and there will be a lot of variety present, will spread. Besides, it is a period of adjustment and stress when your immune system is low.

[Guest Guest]

Anyone have any info on MDC? Like do they still have to do the army physical training?

[JEFFJEFF]

the training tag to yr pes status

[Guest -J-]

hey, im curious as to what the blood test is being used to test for.. is it used to test for HIV?

[Guest RyanGoo]

Inherited problems or hyper blood tension and so on

[Guest -J-]

oh. but is it used to test for HIV too?

[Guest RyanGoo]

What i heard is yes. If u are tested positive , u be given a Pes F and be refered to CDC for further instructions. U be asked about some questions about your sexual life and partner

[Guest -J-]

hmm ok thanks

how long do we have to wait for the results of the pre-enlistment medical checkup btw?

[Guest RyanGoo]

Normally weeks , but if they detect something , they will ask u go back and it will drag for months

[Guest Guest]

What i heard is yes. If u are tested positive , u be given a Pes F and be refered to CDC for further instructions. U be asked about some questions about your sexual life and partner

 

yes once u PES F, you straight away ROD (not ORD).

[Guest -J-]

oh ok thanks @b90

and what's ROD? Lol

Run Out Date. No Need serve

[Guest Masq]

Hello. I'm in C2L3, enlisting on November 8. The correspondence I have states that I'll be going through a Modified BMT (I assume it's a PES C BMT). However, the enlistment schedule here [http://iprep.ns.sg/enlistment-schedule.html] states that I'll be enlisting for BMT instead. The earliest and only PES C BMT falls on November 6 instead.

 

Is there an error with the dates or is my assumption that Modified BMT = PES C BMT is incorrect? Thanks for any clarification!

[william34yo]

_{Seriously, I had gone through} BMT and the last thing will be having an erection as you will be so tired after the training.  Even, if you want to, it will not happen.  You will be more worried about the training then have an erection.

[Guest Guest]

Run Out Date. No Need serve

 

ROD means Relieve of Duty, not run out date!

[Guest Nsf kid]

Hi,

Just to ask if it is worth it to uppes? I am currently a NSF Clerk in one of the camps. However, I will like to uppes as army can train me to be fit and instil discipline and character through hardship and at the same time Siam the jiak Lao bee regulars. However , my freedoms will definitely be taken away.

Seeking opinions here

[zwei]

My friend who was a clerk in airforce, said this " i was really damn glad i up-pes, if not i would have rot and turn fat in there"

 

He came to my unit after his SCS course as a spec, after he up pes from air-force.

[slackerj]

Lol, got to look long term as well. How much time do you still have in service? Enough time for you to join and complete leadership courses? Cause if want up- pes then aim for leadership position, that's what my younger bro did.

Fitness can always be trained in personal time, provided you have the discipline.

There's also the matter with reservist, as a clerk your chances of being recall will also be much lower.

[Guest Nsf]

Lol I don't think I have the discipline to train my fitness haha... And also even if I want to uppes I want to experience living with another guys in the same dorm ... That will be hot

Some more my job scope is quite boring and monotonous

[Guest NS Guy]

Anyone enlisting tomorrow?

[Mareshka]

Wishing you well for your enlistment

Don't worry...time will pass however slow it crawls
