IPT locations

PaulSmith SG

Currently, there only Bedok and Khatib camp for IPT training program. I'm hoping SAF can have few more place for this training.

Due to working location and knock off time is late, I think it rather rush for people who wish to attend. The training start at 7pm on weekdays.

Anyone have any Idea if SAF is going to increase the training location? Idea

If u think training at 7pm on weekdays is bad, spare a thought for those who go for RT 2-3 times a week (depending which phrase you are in). RT is compulsory, IPT is not. Weekdays RT timing starts from 6pm. Imagine doing this for close to 2 months, with 1-2 days of weekday having 2 knock off early and then come also on Sat/Sun. If I am not wrong, IPT has a schedule for 1 weekday and 1 weekend, you can always choose that schedule.

I would agree with u though on increasing the training locations. Maybe at 1 or 2 other SAFRA gym would be good.

Gar, just thinking of the RT regime just makes me mad. In fact, I can tell that my employer isn’t too happy with it too.

Very true. I met this guy during RT last year, and he was telling me how his employee cannot stand the fact he had to knock off early once a week at first, then twice a week later on. His boss was sarcastic, and kept hinting to him that if he can't pass his IPPT=he is not healthy, and that he may find someone else 2 take over the job.

I mean, WTF? just because someone fail IPPT doesn't mean he is not healthy! For me, I plan to go take IPT next Jan. I would be entering the workforce in June next year, and my birthday is in June. If I fail to clear my IPPT before my window, that would mean that I will have to go for IPPT during July/August. Surely an employee wouldn't be please to have me take time off so soon after getting a job, would they? At least going for IPT would mean I need not go for RT even if I fail.
