ptp focuses on physical training and easing recruits into military life. hence there are drills, and other lessons too.

physical training includes gyms, runs, exercises, swims, etc.

overall quite senang i would say.

For me, PTP was one of the most slackest time I ever had in my 5-6 months so far in the army. Your schedule will go something like this:

0530 Reville
0545 The 5 BX (Power PT if the Duty officer is feeling siao on...)
0600 Breakfast
0630 Area Cleaning
0700 Stand-by area if your duty sergeant feels like it
0730 First lesson (ET run/circuit/gym/)
1020 Nothing essentially (labelled as "OC Disposal" or "Fatigue Duty, a.k.a. Sai Kang)
1200 Lunch
1300 See 1020
1500 ET run/circuit/gym/drills
1800 Dinner
1930 Night training (usually extra training your sergeants have in store for you)
2045/2100/2130/2200 C.R.O (Last Parade) Do whatever you want in your bunk
2230 Lights out

My record C.R.O was at 1900, but they used it to conduct a fire drill... Record latest was 2330 (but that is during BMT phase)

Having said that, your instructors usually will take advantage of the free period to conduct stand-bys upon stand-bys upon stand-bys. So, whether you get to rest depends on them...

Tiring...

Hmm, you are the June 9-10 enlistment, you are lucky as your first 2 weeks will be blessed by presence of about 40-50 girls.

Which school are you posted to?

Whatever school you are at, you wun have a chance to be under one of the slackest sergeant around (ME), because my company is taking Standard Recourse. :-(

wuming78 SG

o cos they dont conduct fire drills every now and den.

and even now, standbys are hard to come by.

I’m posted to sch 2 on 8th June… Wat do u mean by there will be girls around?

jzzy011561s SG

8th June! Same here! But I think my enlistment date may be delayed because i sign on as air force snr tech. Anyway, what time r u suppose to report to pasir ris? Mine's suppose to be 2pm.

Ponders SG

Come_5, there will be girls around because they are those who sign on for Service Vocations. So there will be there for 2 weeks for their BMT.

At the same time, there might be girl COMBAT intake also but these dun usually exceed 10 girls. They will join a male company and participate in the 10-week BMT.

Those enlisting June and December will get to see girls around.

BMEngineer SG

Same as me! Me enlisting on 8 June too!

deathscythe99 SG

Hmmm....PTP is slack, well compared to Enhanced batch, far better.

Life in Army changed....tremendously over less than a year! Now u get Gortex jackets (std issue for the Jan batch) and no more tekkans can be conducted by the PCs already...otherwise they kenna 7x Extra instead. Evil or Very Mad

Come_5 SG

I’m enlisting at 10am on Jun 8 sch 2, anybody same time? Will there be any swimming lesson in ptp? swimming trunk is provided but bring own googles, am i rite?

wuming78 SG

yes there will be swimming lessons. and u can bring ur own goggles.

PTP Surprised nly physical stress
BMT:physical and mental stress

Physical stress is nothing compared to mental stress.

I went for PTP phase and it prepared me for BMT coz it helped me get used to camp life.

A no of those direct BMT intake people came in and could'nt cope as well as the PTP guys.

I remembered during 1 tekan session during the 1st few days of BMT,we PTP guys did push ups swee swee 1,full range of motion with my chest touching the floor while the new BMT guys did half fu-ck pushups.Our platoon sergeant used the PTP guys as example to screw the BMT guys:"hey,you all cheebye,wanna fu-ck the floor,dun fu-ck halfway,fu-ck all the way like what they doing(refering to the PTP guys)"

Hahaha Wink
