  hello to all, i'm a NSF and i got a few qns.
  
  first of all, i'm overweight and and i need some help on how to lose weight/pass ippt.
  
  b4 bmt, i could nt do 1 push up but now i can do about 10 standard ones before my arms cant take my body weight
  
  i need to know is there any way i can exercise besides the usual PT? i cant run much as i get breathless easily due to my weight..
  
  same for pull ups, i can only do 1
  
  any PTIs or anyone here can help? sorry to bother you..
  
  another issue is my posting, i got a signal operator in signals, is it a tough unit? not i want to keng or wad but after the route marches/ ETs, i really cant breath
  
  but im happy that i lost 17 kgs in BMT, and definitely fitter than before.
  
  lastly, how to go to Stagmont Camp from jurong?
  
  they say take 175, 185 or 190 frm cck but is it take from cck interchange or outside the mrt station? so sorry...im quite blur
  
  and drop where? the bus stop is B05/B06, but how to see it sia? can i assume it's the 5th/6th bus stop??
  
  thanks in advance for your help...sorry to bother and i really appreciate the help i'd get..
  
  thanks again

  Do you know, Signals Institute can also means, Slackers Insitute...
  
  You will crack your brains with many theory classes....
  
  
  
  I wouldn't say it is tough. But I would say definitely no feat to what you have gone through in BMT.

  TS...where is ya starting point from Jurong...? The bus services there are 190,985,975 plying along Teck Whye ave...and there's also a direct 172 that will turn left into teck whye/cck drive from cck ave 1 where u can alight cross the road and follow the small road...there's 307 as well but it's very winding and confusing...

  If you take 172 from jurong, alight once you see a LRT station (Keat Hong). You will alight at Blk 200+, then you have to walk.
  
  I would suggest taking 975, 985, 190 from CCK int, alight at the 3rd bus-stop. If taking from OUTSIDE Lot 1, alight at the 2nd bus-stop. You will alight at CCK Polyclinic.
  
  OR
  
  Dun worry if you miss the bus-stop cos the next stop, Blk 6 Teck Whye, is abt same walking distance.

  Don't worry about the physical aspect. You'll continue to get to exercise regularly en masse at the unit -- for, what, the next year & a half? The tekan shouldn't be as great as in BMT anymore, though your commander may now & then improvise extra PT lessons for those less fit. I know, cuz I kena arrowed extra SOC every morning, when everyone was doing area-cleaning! But the purpose always fizzled out whenever the unit had other operational priorities. Still, my timing cut down to 8:06 at the end (from BMT failure, mind you, cuz I'd never tried the monkey bars in my life before).
  
  Chin-ups, you must get into a habit of training during your free time, over & above what everyone do at the pre-cookhouse rituals. Cultivating the self-discipline won't be easy, cuz there's a lot more autonomy & regular nights off in unit life.
  
  If you've only just finished BMT, then you're likely only attending trade course at Stagmont Camp. Thereafter, you can be posted almost anywhere, even to a GDS unit if your Pes status qualifies. Or sit vehicle all the time, if lucky. Signaller is quite a ubiquitous vocation, though course time can be very academic & technical.

  if your muscles are tired out by everyday's training, then it should be sufficient already. Don't worry about it.
  
  Unless like me, after 1st year army, start to slack, then got fatter. Then I had to jio bunk mates go gym or go jog.

  cross the road to take.
  if take at same bus stop that you alighted , you will go to Orchard Rd.
  after alighting from Sv 190, ask your way around. or go to streetdirectory to print the map out..
