Sad how covid robbed the experiences of these soldiers. The 24km march from the ferry terminal to the floating platform was pinnacle BMT. Walking through ECP with civilians watching on and cheering, such memory will never be forgotten. Thankful to have been able to experience that.
yeah honestly best part about BMT was that march, if I'm not wrong, they already started doing Tekong 24km march even before covid, and this was like 4 or 5 years ago since I ORD
@@nictheperson6709 not entirely flat, but the view and atmosphere is on a different level. Having experienced route march up to 16km in Tekong, i can safely say that the elevation is almost similar. Soldiers can then undergo route marches on various terrains when they enter command school!
Im from 03/21 batch, we only did 16km (can’t remember the reason why) and it was all in tekong… i wish i had it from SFT to the floating platform hahah
I was part of the 2nd batch that did the 24km route march on the mainland. Didn't know about the significance of the Changi to marina bay march until I came across a mention in the SAF50 ebook...

6:49 Look at all those beds they brought down to sun... reminds me of my BMT memories. We had GID outbreak so we were asked to do the same thing, bring our beds down to Basketball court to sun it. Once all our beds are down and in position, CAT 1, bring everything back up. Once all beds back up in bunk, CAT 1 clear, bring back down. Then CAT 1 again... Tbh on first look I thought they build SOC Dodging Panels at Coyline 🤣
I kena standby battalion before, RSM made all of us, including our commanders, CSM and PS to standby bed literally in the parade square. But that time safety rules a bit lax, we literally throw down the bed from the top floor corridor.
Really hate the push up machine in bedok camp. I train so hard intend to get silver. Then the push up machine no count me like wth..in the end only get pass with incentive.
Judging by the way they were treated from what we see many of them would have had a rude awakening in command school. Not all cadets are built equal, and that comes from BMT.
I was in the last batch of recruits that did the 24km at Tekong way back in 2009. That was a tough one. Lots of potholes that you could easily roll your ankle. Also our commanders didn't tell us how much we had left and there was no Singapore flyer to indicate how close we were. Nevertheless those were good times. Kinda miss NS sometimes.
@@saint474747 Wow, I did the route march during 2018 when floating platform was undergoing renovations, so I know how you felt. Me too actually, 4 years has past, and I kinda miss BMT, no worries of the future to think about, just having coffee time with bunkmates.
did 24km in Tekong when I was serving as a recruit in 2005. well, its an experience hahaha albeit potholes and uneven grounds, we were relatively safe.
If Tekong has to do all this COVID-19 protocol. I imagine its worst in OCS and SCS since they are always passing through JEM or Westgate. Thank goodness, I left before it happened.
Hmmm if you have so much difficulty with the new IPPT, I cant imagine the old version ... with the Pull-ups The Shuttle runs and the Standing Broad Jump... So Lucky the new badge with their Nerf IPPT. Well Not lucky though thy re missing out a lot ....
16km graduation route march is ok i guess, due to covid and stuff. understandable. not like a batch i know who end up doing 12km only. 50% discount.hahaha
In my time we had to pass a minimum of 2 of the following requirements: 1. Pass IPPT 2. Get a decent score for live firing 3. Complete field camp If someone didn’t, then chances are he got recycled into a different batch. But I didn’t hear of anyone failing/redoing BMT in my company. I think it was purely for shock value to get the recruits motivated. Hopefully I somewhat answered your question.
Why does Jasnam need IPPT to graduate? Isnt it usually 2 out of 3 between (BTP pass, Field Camp and IPPT), he got marksman for BTP, so means unless he did not complete Field Camp for some reason but wasnt shown. Because if he did complete Field Camp, then he wouldnt even need IPPT Pass to graduate. If IPPT Pass alone is a veto factor, so many RECs wont be able to POP man Also 100% passing rate in BMT... wow sure or not
Its an "open secret" about 2/3 to POP. But you imagine if this was well known and wasnt enforced. Liddat all the REC just aim for pass IPPT and shoot well. Take MC for field camp. Settle liao....how can.
LOL those comments below act like their army very xiong.. already mentioned is covid and changes need to be make.. grow some EQ or IQ .. I wearing old uniform and i didnt even do Route March from ECP to Marina Bay, we done Route March in Pulau Tekong also never say anything.. seriously... Act one tough LOL

The 24km route march on Mainland Singapore and graduating on the Marina Bay Floating Platform was such an experience. Glad I had the opportunity.

Bmt is an orientation camp. I rem bmt was the first and last time i used basha tent for outfield.
BMT is the best time to enjoy during Ns days, after POP everyone will be posted to other units which have more responsibilities
Lmao when I left BMT my admin time tripled

Doing route march in Tekong was the worst. Wished renovations of floating platform was done, the experience would've been much more surreal.

Ehats the name of the song and singer during the ending credits ?

Cos heighten measures. There is no white horse batch.

Lucky no more chin up and standing broad jump as stations 😎
not everyone wants to have a ripped abs lolllll
Shorter route march, SHRO free off, shorter bmt, song song la.
30+ pushups and sit ups sounds easy, but its harder then you think
Different for everyone but most people in combat unit should be able to achieve that easily
I do 50 pushup and situps everyday. Young people are getting softer by the generation!
Try adding Board Jump, Pull-up and Shuttle run
Lol is not difficult, if you train. Try pullups my dear friend.
