Ep 4: R & R - Run & Rehab (Every Singaporean Son)

It's no secret that there is a lot of physical training, especially running, in BMT. But just when Daryl, Dewei and Danial think that they have had too much of it, they go running again - this time in the swimming pool!

@cyberpioneertv So all the recruits got a chance to swim, is it?

[cyberpioneertv]

@My97Destiny Swmming lessons are part of the physical training the recruits go through.

I cant Swim!! What happens if i dont know how to swim? Oh and will they give FREE Swimming trunks?

[cyberpioneertv]

Hi @AuditionGuy258, recruits who don't know how to swim will be given special basic swimming lessons by the instructors, as part of BMT training. There are shallower pools for the non-swimmers. Life floats will also be provided. Safety briefings will be conducted before each lesson as well. So you don't have to worry. Btw, glad to know you've been catching a lot of our cyberpioneerTV videos recently and dropping us comments. We've got more great video series coming up, so stay tuned! :)

can i know what are the timings you need for the 5 ippt stations to get gold?

[cyberpioneertv]

@fysicol The IPPT Standards and Scoring System is based on the NSman’s age and vocation, so depending on your age, vocation and when your ORD date was, the scores required to get gold are different.

To check, do head to the NS Portal website ns.sg and click on eServices > IPPT > Find out IPPT Score

I like the singing at the beginning of the video -but not the training -especially in that heat and humidy! It's tough.
