BMT: From PES B to Bp, So Must Re-BMT 2nd Time. Fair? How?
-
Hi, my bf is initially in pes B and enlisted to tekong on 10 june. He is currently undergoing confinement, hawk coy and can only book out on 27 June.
However, ytd he was suddenly downgraded from pes B to obese pes. So now he can only book out on 27 June and wait for August to enlist again into tekong and join the obese coy.
Is this fair? If this is the case, he will have to go thru 2 rounds of confinement and he enlisted on 10 June for nothing?

Types of Basic Military Training
PES A/B1 BMT
This 9-week programme trains combat-fit recruits in the basic military skills to prepare them for advanced vocational training. The programme includes weapon training with the SAR 21 rifle which will teach recruits technical handling and marksmanship skills; a Battle Inoculation Course that simulates a real battlefield; a Field Camp which develops basic survival skills; progressive training to complete a 24-km route march which builds combat fitness and endurance; and hand grenade training.
For those who fail to achieve the NAPFA test silver award, they are required to undergo an 8-week Physical Training Phase (PTP) prior to the PES A/B1 BMT.
PES BP BMT
As evidence has shown that obese recruits are able to achieve optimum fitness levels and weight loss in about 19 weeks, the new BMT programme for recruits with Body Mass Index (BMI) scores exceeding 27.0 will be 19 weeks. This BMT programme is designed to help obese recruits improve their physical fitness progressively while equipping them with basic soldiering skills and knowledge.
PES B2 BMT
Enlistees who were PES C1 previously underwent a 7-week BMT programme. The new 9-week PES B2 BMT programme will be conducted for recruits who are medically fit for deployment in selected combat and combat support vocations, such as signal operators, combat medics and naval system operators. These recruits will be given a new medical classification of PES B2, in place of the existing PES C1 classification. This is to ensure that the medical classification of our soldiers is consistent with their deployment. The new 9-week programme will include customised physical training, as well as basic combat training to prepare them for their combat and combat support roles.
PES C BMT
The 9-week BMT programme will be conducted for PES C recruits. This programme will include light physical training and vocational training to prepare them for combat service support vocations, such as service medic, and those related to logistics and administration.
PES E BMT
The 4-week BMT programme will be conducted for PES E recruits. This programme will focus on, vocational training as well as National Education, SAF core values, regimentation and discipline to prepare recruits for combat service support vocations. -

Exercise, train and keep fit together with him.

Seems like an unfortunate situation, but it would occur to me as being rather odd that his supposed "obesity" was not noticed the first time around.
Anyways, ask your BF to keep his head up. Everyone goes through NS, and people are generally quite supportive, as far as I know. Just ignore the trolls and work at it!

Fair??
When you enlisted, your time belongs to SAF.
Booking out is a privillege only.
When I was active, most unit did 4 or 5 stand by duty, I did 15.. plus other duties and national events I did not book out during the weekend almost for 3 months.. Only when home maybe once a week in the night and report back in the morning... Get use to it lor...
