If Take NAPFA <14 days B4 PTP/BMT, Still Can Get 2 Mths Off?
-
Hi, i need to enlist on the june 11 for the PTP.
I have to book my napfa on the 28 May since the 14 and 21 is not available. From what i know , i have to get at least a silver 2 weeks before the enlistment date .
So i called CMPB to ask whether getting a silver on the 28 may still allow me to get the 2 month off. The person said he "think" it is still possible.
So I want to know anyone have experience this before and is it still possible to get the 2 month off if i take my napfa on the 28 May.
THanks -
On that day, just go take NAPFA, get Silver/ Gold, then print out the result slip.
Next on the same day, take public transport to CMPB, submit the printed result slip to a customer service officer at the counter to process into the IT system to get the official and direct outcome on the spot.
Hopefully, then happily go home rest and recover.

Are you physically fit? If you have been found to be fit for full Basic Military Training (BMT) i.e. PES A or B1, you may want to take the NAPFA test.
Should you attain a NAPFA Gold or Silver award at least 2 weeks prior to your Physical Training Phase (PTP) enlistment date, you will attend a 9-week Basic Military Training (BMT) and enjoy a 2-month reduction in your full-time National Service. Those who fail to attain the required fitness level will have to undergo a 8-week Physical Training Phase (PTP) before attending the 9-week BMT.

Please note that the NAPFA result is valid for 1 year from the date of test. You are advised to report for the test in acceptable attire and punctually. All the six test items must be completed in one single sessions. A maximum of 2 to 5 minutes rest period is permitted between any two tests (for the first test items); a 15 to 30 minutes rest period is permitted before the sixth test item.

IPPT Requirement
All eligible NSmen must attempt their IPPT once within the first 9 months of their IPPT window. They may attempt IPPT during their ICT or at any FCC and may make as many attempts as they want to improve their IPPT results, except for NSmen who have attained the IPPT Gold standards for the IPPT year. The best result achieved will be taken as the record for that IPPT year.
IPPT Scoring System
IPPT performance is based on a Scoring System, which awards grades and points to the raw scores of each test station. Participants are required to obtain a minimum grade/point for each test station and accumulate a minimum total points for the complete test.
Partial Failures
NSmen who achieve the required total number of points, but fail only one static station are considered Partial Failures. They will be allowed to make multiple attempts to pass the particular static station within 3 months of their IPPT window after the original test date. Should they fail to pass the particular static station within 3 months duration, they will have to retake the complete ippt. NSmen attempting single-station retest will not be eligible for monetary awards unless they retake the complete test in one sitting.

I saw the table, that mean's if i get 5 points for sit up, 3-5 points for 2.4km but failed other 2 stations, i'm considered as passing whole ippt right ?

As long as you fail 1 station, you are consider fail for ippt as a whole.
Same for silver. If any of your station didnt get a silver, there goes your IPPT silver.

Very good advice. If you want something done, go to CMPB, wait 1-2 hours if necessary, and hand it to the right person. Then email as a followup afterwards.
If this doesn't work--> Rinse and repeat.
