Overseas Singaporeans get slice of
military life
To engage National Servicemen (NSmen) residing
overseas, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) held an exhibition to
showcase advanced training systems in the Singapore Armed Forces
(SAF).
This was part of Singapore Day 09, held in London's Hampton Court
Palace on 25 Apr, which saw a turnout of more than 12,000
Singaporeans who came from all over Europe, including Britain,
France, Holland and Italy.
The Electronic Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) Scoring
System (ELISS) set up by MINDEF, complete with chin-up, sit-up and
standing broad jump stations, was a draw for many young men keen to
test their physical capabilities. Overseas NSmen who had yet to
experience the electronic conduct of the IPPT also tried their
hands at the stations.
Visitors also had fun with an interactive computer simulation
training programme, called Virtual Battlespace 2, and enjoyed a
taste of field of rations at a Mobile Field Kitchen.
I guess in future Singapore days will be IPPT day too........:
