IPPT may be made simpler, says Dr Ng Eng Hen

[Adrianli]

 

You mean Navy dun haf SOC? knnz...tio jiak again...

 

Have lah. But only in BMT. Also got swimming test, got to pass during BMT or BSM(Basic Seamanship).

 

Ours is modified BMT, only no field camp. The rest all the same. But I prefer SOC.

[Tianmo]

We need to understand that every station has its purpose when it was introduced.............like it or not some guys just cannot clear no matter what they do..................I have seen ppl who can run very well but cannot clear sit ups and pull ups..........so they always fail............no matter how fast they come back in 2.4km............

 

 

shuttle run is important for explosive speed and able to stop fast...........( fire and movement forward.....you have 4 seconds to get up run and move to cover...............how fast you move and cover determines how fast you can take the objective.......and the faster you are to move and cover the lesser chance of getting hit.....

 

chip ups for upper body and arm power.............( you can clock 2.4km under 9.15..........but if you cannot carry your own load nobody is going to wait for you............and what use is the weapon when you have no strength to pick up the rifle...take aim and fire when you need it most.....)

 

good example is ................if you are hit and and you see a cover need by...........would you want a buddy who has the upper body power and explosive speed to drag you to cover..............or do you prefer one who can run very fast but always fail chip ups and shuttle to drag you to cover..............it may be a different of 2 seconds...........but enough to have both shot ............

 

it may seem funny when a solider jumps and instead of clearing a longkang he drops inside............. but it is no joke if you cannot jump over a longkang...........(SBJ to the rescue?)

[Tianmo]

Just run SOC. If you can do SOC, you are good enough.

SOC in the rough sea ai mai?

 

 

the navy divers do SOC in the rough sea ??.........

[Kangadrool]

I can see all these, but just cannot see how sit-ups is relevant.

ROD lor.....

[Kangadrool]

Hahahaha, I was thinking maybe they have their own SOC.... clear obstacles in ship, then jump into sea and swim 2.4 km to shore with weapon and fullpack.

[Tianmo]

running lor. Actually, all still need except sit-ups.

 

 

 

yah.............i think they sld strengthen the back instead..........sit-ups bad for the back sia..........

like that SAF need to issue weapon for us to train at home.

 

you can always go get a PVC pipe........fill it up with cement...........and sling it up..............there you have the weight of the rifle liao............be a thinking solider .. .....no need always wait for spoon feed mah.... [laugh]

[Myxilplix]

Ya'll talking like machiam next month all going to ship off to battlefront.

 

I say whatever makes the wayang easier.

[Vega]

I can see all these, but just cannot see how sit-ups is relevant.

 

 

sit-ups train the core muscles which we need in all other stations like running and chin ups.

how can make NSmen fork out money to make "weapon"?

[Tianmo]

I can see all these, but just cannot see how sit-ups is relevant.

 

 

 

yah...............i also cannot see the benefit of sit ups.................always thought they sld do more to strengthen the back..........nothing is done to keep the back in order.............but alot of stress goes to the back actually............

[Tigerwoods]

if they continue to make it easier for new recruits, soon all our soldiers will become KuNiang.

 

I don't understand the logic. Do you think the US will do such ways to their Marines ?

[Tianmo]

Hahahaha, I was thinking maybe they have their own SOC.... clear obstacles in ship, then jump into sea and swim 2.4 km to shore with weapon and fullpack.

 

 

idea good sia...........mayb they can start working on that...........in case they need to jump ship.......... [laugh]

[Toothiewabbit]

For those who are in the infantry, AI, Guards and Commando units and have trained in overseas jungles, you will know that SBJ is important.

[Joseph22]

 

Did a google search and found it here : http://garinmahal.com/index.php/getting-started/idf-fitness-test

 

Got push-up, sit-up and 2km run.

 

I think this 3 is enough also. One upper body one middle body. One lower body.

[Tianmo]

I think can start looking into PVC pipes and cement trading liao...............maybe MINDEF will call for tender .............if the idea goes through............ [laugh]
