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.

This PTP/BMT thread for
all pre-enlistees who are going to enlist

SINGAPORE: Changes will be made
to the Basic Military Training programme for National Service
recruits from 2010.
There will be a new 19-week BMT for obese recruits, and either a
9-week or 4-week customised BMT for other classes of recruits to
better prepare them for their subsequent combat, combat support and
combat service support roles.
Releasing details on Friday from the its two-stage review, the
Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) said recruits whose Body Mass Index
(BMI) exceeds 27 will have to undergo the new 19-week BMT programme
that is designed to help them improve their physical fitness
incrementally while equipping them with basic soldiering skills and
knowledge.
This is with effect from February 2010.
It said the programme was introduced after a review to strengthen
the BMT system as it was seen that over time, obese recruits have
shown that they can achieve optimal fitness levels and weight loss
in about 19 weeks.
Recruits who are medically fit for deployment in selected combat
and combat support vocations, such as signal operators, combat
medics and naval system operators, will be given a new medical
classification of PES B2, in place of the existing PES C1
classification.
The SAF said this is to ensure that the medical classification of
the soldiers is consistent with their deployment and the recruits
will undergo a new 9-week programme from June 2010, that will
include customised physical training, as well as basic combat
training to prepare them for their combat and combat support
roles.
As for those who are placed as PES C recruits, they too will
undergo a new 9-week BMT programme from June 2010, with light
physical and vocational training. This is to prepare them for
combat service support vocations, such as service medic, and those
related to logistics and administration such as supply
assistants.
There's also a new 4-week BMT programme that will be conducted for
PES E recruits, focusing on National Education, SAF core values,
regimentation and discipline, as well as vocational training to
prepare recruits for combat service support vocations.
Colonel Ng Wai Kit, assistant chief of general staff (training),
SAF, said: "The latest changes to the BMT system begin with the
introduction of the physical training phase to prepare our recruits
who are less fit, and raise their fitness level to that which is
comparable with their direct BMT peers."
There will be no change to the standard BMT for PES A/B
recruits.
In the first phase of the review, the SAF looked at how recruits
undergoing the 4-week Physical Training Phase (PTP) could be better
prepared for BMT.
This resulted in the introduction of an 8-week PTP, which will
raise PTP recruits' physical fitness to a level that is comparable
to their direct-BMT peers.
The new PTP programme will begin in December
2009.
