    Sad how covid robbed the experiences of these soldiers. The 24km march from the ferry terminal to the floating platform was pinnacle BMT. Walking through ECP with civilians watching on and cheering, such memory will never be forgotten. Thankful to have been able to experience that.

      yeah honestly best part about BMT was that march, if I'm not wrong, they already started doing Tekong 24km march even before covid, and this was like 4 or 5 years ago since I ORD

Also our commanders didn't tell us how much we had left and there was no Singapore flyer to indicate how close we were. Nevertheless those were good times. Kinda miss NS sometimes.

      2. Get a decent score for live firing
      3. Complete field camp
      If someone didn’t, then chances are he got recycled into a different batch. But I didn’t hear of anyone failing/redoing BMT in my company. I think it was purely for shock value to get the recruits motivated. Hopefully I somewhat answered your question.

    Because if he did complete Field Camp, then he wouldnt even need IPPT Pass to graduate. If IPPT Pass alone is a veto factor, so many RECs wont be able to POP man
