hey, i dunno if someone else have posted it but for the benefit
of the people here and those going to enlist. I will intro to you
what the new BMT Syllabus is all about.
OLD BMT: 6 weeks PTP, 10 weeks BMT.
NEW BMT: 4 Weeks PTP, 9 weeks BMT. (with effect from Dec 2004 for
PES A/B, PES C recruits still retain their syllabus)
No more, interval training, circuit training.
New... Combat PT, Ability Group Runs, 30:60 and strength
training.
Environmental changes: The training program now is packed than the
past because a 16 week syllabus is squeezed into 13. So much so
that BMT stuff are taught during your PTP phase. So during the PTP
phase, you will learn partially technical handling with some
companies conducting the tests during PTP.
There will be no more parent visiting day and it is instead
replaced by thurs to staurday enlistment and a guaranteed friday
book out 2 weeks later.
However, if during your PTP/BMT there are any public holidays,
chances are that you may burn an additional weekend during the
fieldcamp week. Meaning you book in on Monday and book out the 2nd
saturday.
Less emphasis is placed on SOC, with only 1-2 full run downs
scheduled.
Gym training is now own time own target.
DUe to the COmbat PT syllabus, physical training now tend to be
draggy. you usually start like at 0730 hrs, and it finishes around
1030hrs. very boring.
any questions???
