Not necessarily. If you got posted to combat vocation, there are
likely some more.
Only one part to swimming in BMT during my days.....
Not necessarily. Depends to where you get posted to.
My operational unit conducts quite siong swimming test:
1. Attire no. 4, no boots
2. Start off jumping into the pool from a 3m platform, with wooden
rifle (not sure if its 3m... the platform in the Khatib camp
pool)
3. Remove wooden rifle. Thread water 10minutes
4. Swim 10 laps, any style. No time limits
5. Remove no 4 top, and bottom. use the no. 4 trousers to make a
float.
6. Swim back to the pool side with the float
7. Viola! Pass!
BTW, the failure rate is quite high.
In my days, you will pass the test if you swim 30m, any style
(even non-standard styles). No time limits.
