Excuse from Physical Activities since the 3rd day

ah-soh SG

hi i was enlisted in 9 june n i was excused from physical activities since the 3rd day until the start of bmt due to the back pain due to spine deformity (i m now slacking in ptp phase Laughing )

the mo said that he will not ooc me at the moment because i m in ptp phase n the physio n mo feels that i might have a chance to recover before bmt (chances r slim actually as my specialist had told me) as ptp doesn't need to pass ippt in ptp in order to go bmt

i m oso having physio treatment n session as well n after 4 sessons my situations didn't improve and it is becoming more and more slim to recover before bmt

so i would like to know
1) if excuse from physical activities for 40 days a record?

2) will i get ooc or i will be left to rot in tekong doing nothing or even forced to carry heavy loads if my pain still persists after the bmt starts?

40 days - ok lah.. i have seen more. but tt usualy means out of course.

and looking at ur condition i reckon u will be downgraded - temporarily or permanently. either way u should be posted out with ur new pes status. if there is a need for recourse (after an upgrade) u will then be sent back to bmt at a later point in time.

Actually, because you excused 40 days, it really depend what you do or did not do in BMT that will determine whether you pass BMT.

As you may now know or dunno. IPPT, Range and IFC are not veto factor in passing BMT anymore.

What MO is trying to do is maybe during BMT time you participate in all activities regardless if you pass tests. This way you NEED NOT repeat BMT.

If you OOT/OOC in midst of BMT you WILL re-BMT.

There are 3 outcomes from BMT.

Completed BMT (passed all test + IPPT, SOC, IFC) = met all requirements and eligible for leadership training (OCS/SISPEC).

Attended BMT (pass some, failed some, failed at least 1 of 3 in IPPT, SOC, IFC but overall 75% attendance of all lessons) = NEED NOT repeat BMT, not eligible for Commander. And block leave burned.

RE-BMT = poor attendance and attitude towards BMT training. WILL REPEAT BMT.

ah-soh SG

thanks for everyone's reply Very Happy

actually i dun like to recourse bmt but i m left with no choice. there is only a very slim chance for me recovering before bmt Sad

btw, did anyone here have witnessed the same case as me -- excused for several weeks in ptp but didn't ooc in the ptp?

BaByBoY SG

ermm..
seems i`ve ronged u..
if like tt u make sure u get the max downgrade possible..
it`ll save ur ass into tekong again...

Ponders SG

ah-soh, think you would have booked in by now... but anyway...

just to let you konw that you may request not to be OOT'ed but excuse yourself from SOC/IPPT.

But if it is physical activity that is hurting your back and stuff, then suggest you downgrade. However, it most probably mean PES C recourse.

It's better to take part moderately in your current Enhanced BMT if you can take it.

If you really want to konw more.. talk to your PC... or PM me... there are many ways around this thing. Worse to happen is they OOT you when you needn;t have to and later suffer in recourse.

In recourse BMT, it isn't a really fun experience as they are less forgiving for they assume you know SAF rules by now. And you tend to be mixed with a greater variety of ppl.
