Hrm... that's not fair for some pple out there who enjoys going RT.
My vote is both IPPT and RT should be on volunteering basis. Happy ? Go. Not happy? Don't go.
;p

Wai said:that's why i am actually quite happy that i got my ICT letter immediately after ORD...and got ICT/IPPT every year, at least at this age i can still run and pass easily
some of my platoon mate tried to defer, but in the end they were posted to another unit, this is even worse because they will be alone in the new unit with no friends. some of them also got their vocation changed because of this

SOC come in. :devil: :devil:
johnlim said:Though the 3 years of training (low key, only 2 days each) are cancelled, it still gives some relief for me. At least, I don't have to go for IPPT & remedial training after my ten years of NS.
For those who failed IPPT, they have to go for RT for 2 months and have to take leave from their work to go for the RT. That is very inconvenient and a bloody waste of time.

#1 priority, port the IPPT to computer simulation. I see if I can come up with the software to sell to SAF.

Yeowww said:let me share with u guys how to siam IPPT.
get close to the clerks, especially the IPPT one. he/she can 'do something' about it one. my fat fat sergeant no need to take ippt for 3 or 4 years, no RT some more...why??? bcos he 'sacrifice' himself and got close to the clerk (302 type)... let u guys imagine.
actually not only ippt, it applies to ICT as well, no kidding.
i finished my 13 year ICT liao, now in MR. no more ippt ---> no more extra money :cry:
