The impression I got was that you don't really have to pass IPPT
at the end of IPT, but you have to show 'significant' progress. And
the RT is eight sessions long.
To quote TODAY:
Individual targets will be set for each of the five IPPT
stations (2.4km run, sit-ups, shuttle run, chin-ups and standing
broad jump).
The perk for those who sign up [for IPT] is that
servicemen who still fail the IPPT will not have to undergo
remedial training - provided they meet or exceed their individual
targets.
And the RT at the end of the 9-month IPT is eight sessions
long.
Frankly, I prefer the old system where you just grin and bear
with it for eight sessions over 4 or 5 weeks.
The old system makes more sense.
And oh, while I personally love the HD2 so far, its not a phone
I can recommend to anyone. Unless you have no objections to putting
up with the windows mobile OS and its quirks. It was a real pain
setting it up and getting used to. That being said, the bigass
screen is gorgeous and the processing hardware is awesome, too bad
about the windows OS. And I really wanted to use mobipocket, which
is available only for windows, symbian and blackberry phones.
HTC will be releasing the android version of this soon though.
You might want to wait.
