IPPT take until when?

Lim Beh Ka Li Kong SG

Until 13-yr cycle finish?
Or until I 40 yrs old?

Till you are 40 yrs old.
However, if you complete your ICT Cycle before you're 40, your unit
will most probably post you to the Mindef Reserves. Then no need to do IPPT as well.
Basically must do IPPT unless told otherwise

I understand the 13-year cycle remains. To change that would screw up the operational rotation of active & reservist units, something which I sense even the new base 2-year NS system may not necessarily impact.

Under the old training cycle, it's at least 9 high-key ICTs in 13 years. Under the revised version, it's at least 7 high-key ICTs for the 1st 10 years, then a trio of 2-day BITs between Year 11 & 13.

Realistically, "siam"-ing IPPT's only for the early 30somethings & older. As said, those who completed the full ICT cycle with their unit will be posted together to the MINDEF reserves, & thus no more IPPT (usually after 33-35 years old). Those who were on holding lists, or recycled on to younger outfits, are liable for IPPT unit they're 40.
