POP Loh!

We woke up at 6 in the morning, just four hours later. Rested but still aching all over, we were ready to give our all for our graduation paarade. At the sound of the horn, we marched together as a commpany for the last time . The atmosphere was indescribable. With the crowd cheering , and all of us standing together as one, we threw our caps into the air and celebrated the end of our BMT

My thoughts on BMT

BMT was an experience that really was, once in a lifetime. The adventures, antics and people that I met really shaped and defined my time during BMT into a memorable and enjoyable experience. The platoon, the commanders and even Tekong itself remains dear to me today. I do miss the faces in Tekong, especially the commanders. Seeing unfamiliar faces in the unit I am in now, instead of my commanders and friends, really made life seem empty. With the end of BMT, marks the start of unit training based on your allocation by HQ. That, will be talked about some other time.


But now, a summary of BMT over the 9 weeks

Week 1-3: Confinement/Adjustment week, Rifle presentation, Talks
Week 4: IFC
Week 5: Live Firing
Week 6: Field Camp
Week 7: Hand Grenade
Week 8: Urban Ops/BIC
Week 9: 24km Route March/ Graduation Parade

The order of events can/will change according to scheduling, it's not set in stone
