RT when MR in 2010

[Fireball0088]

i used to booked the last date for the ippt.

1 day before the ippt, go and see doctor for 2 days MC.

Then drag and drag and drag till the next year.

 

for the past 12 years reservist, i only ran ippt for the 1st and 2nd year.

from 3rd year onwards, either i go see GP clinic for the MC or spent a little bit more go SGH specialist to get 6 months excuse letter.

 

Not everyone as fit as you.

 

For my case, when I ROD (yes, my time is called ROD, but now call ORD), it took like ten plus years before they called me for reservists! I was like WTF? Like that how to pass IPPT.

[Fireball0088]

I didn't manage to train and pass ippt before my birthday (early Jan 09)... got a sms from mindef today that I have to book my RT within 2 months.

 

Now, I would have MR this year... but due to my unit's operation decision, the whole unit will instead MR next year in 2010 after serving the last cycle.

 

Thinking of not booking RT this year , just go for last cycle in 2010 and MR... any advice?

 

Let me get this straight: You are supposed to MR this year meaning Jan 09? Any ICT this year or not? Take during ICT loh. Otherwise, I think it's safe to act blur 'cuz next year Jan 2010 if you MR, they can't charge you for not taking RT!!!, if I am not wrong. How old are you? If over 40, confirmed not IPPT

brudder, i am not a siao on army guy or wat... just a average joe..

 

but i was thinking, are you proud of yourself when you mention all these things?

 

Not as proud or jealous of doing 2.5yrs during my time as compare to the current 2 yrs.

 

Relieve will be a better word.....

 

Anyway, i didnt arrange for all this but im more than happy to grab it with both hands tho......

I also look forward to reserve training, but me no more liow, MR long time ago.

I wish I could go on.

 

I last time cook, then one day, I pow kopi for my OC, whole cookhouse cannot find the kopi sock,

so I use my blain, take off my green socks and use to pow the kopi hor e lim, then he say my kopi the power one,

ask me what I put, then I low sit, low sit (honest) ka e kong, use my sock to make kopi, say got the

"personal" touch, next thing I know, or was it donno, I kana 10 day go report the RP, RP say I kwai lan, pow kopi use

dirty socks to pow for officer lim, but I say, that sock not dirty, morning just wear niah, only my foot kana the kow sai,

so CSM huat "Fall in" I faster, faster wear and chow go downstairs.

 

Then hor, instead of 10 days, I kana extra duty, donno why also, because when I say that to the RP, he faster run

go company line tell my OC. cho hoh lang chin pai cho.

 

CSM call me, say I post out, to another camp, and maybe change vocation, I bo pian,

bin teng order loh lai, buay sai mai cho. So I go this camp call "Silanglang" camp, near the Changi prison,

become the GD man, my Mdm. and RSM say GD man title very the big, so job very the heavy one. ok lor, cho lor.

 

You know what GD man stand for boh?

 

So you are the originator of the stocking kopi, stocking tea..

[Ldawn88]

do you really hate IPPT that much to go through so much trouble?

 

 

are you over weight?

 

nah. none of above. I am overseas for the past 1.5 years most of the time. When back in sg... there are more impt things to do rather than to attend ippt.

 

Wld not give more details. thanks.

[Ldawn88]

I got a charged letter before my MR. Just went down to cmpb to attend charge and explain to the SDO, he waived off the charge.

 

Hahaha, steady bro, was that explanation a real reason or an excuse? PM me if you dont mind .

 

[Ldawn88]

haha, that's cos u guys are fit mah. for me how hard i try also cannot pass my running, and it's not like 1 - 2mins fail. (heh i won't mention my timing in case u guys luff until choke)

 

But i sign on RT la...hahaha it's like a getaway from work to me, do relaxing light exercise haha

 

hahaha, bro, I also know of few who tried but simply cannot pass standing board... cos according to them train until leg become chicken drumbstick maciam no fats also cannot pass.

Your "Lay there like a beached whale" description really hit the nail home. [laugh]

[Ldawn88]

Even if you say you are not well before and after your bday, thot you still need to book RT, right?!

 

Wahhhh...your unit sibeh onz lei.

 

My Reservist beri strange one. After NS, kena draw out from the main unit and posted to lau ciao unit. Left 3 years MR one. So during these 3 years, i only did one high key(1+ week) nia plus some small 1-2 days course. 3 years upz, the whole unit MR with official letter, but im put under standby...unit-less for as long as i can remember. But still have to do IPPT very year.

 

Sit up do maybe 10, pull up hand there come down, shuttle run slow jog(haha), broad jump half-F one(my mother can jump further than me. haha).........then go counter say i cannot run because leg pain, just recover from flu...blah blah blah. Woo Hoo.....consider i completed IPPT for that year liao. No need do RT one. wahaha

 

So every time i do this 1 week before my bird-day, another time 1 week after my bird day, then i can rest for almost 3 years. haha. I've been doing this cycle for so many years liao. Btw im pest A.

 

Another 3 years.............40 liao lor. ORD liao!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mazdaowner]

So you are the originator of the stocking kopi, stocking tea..

 

No, I only did the kopi, the tea, was by my chief clerk, who use her pantyhose. I heard the tea drinkers say more peng.

[Ldawn88]

Erm, if over 40 confirmed MR liao la, unless is officer (50) which he won't be asking this question anymore...

 

yup. you are right. I wont be asking this qn anymore if I am an officer or over 40... clever.

[Ldawn88]

Ur situation is the same as mine. hmmm do we belong to same unit?

 

It could be possible hahaha...

 

[Ldawn88]

Thanks bro for all your replies!

 

I have decided to make some time this year (2009) for RT during my 1.5 months in SG. I will be in Shanghai and Japan for the rest of this year. Although heard from some bros here that it depends on how strict or laxed your unit is before a charged is decided, just bite the bullet and move on lah.
