Bane of every Singaporean Male

To all ladies/girls out there that does not know what is that - IPPT.

IPPT - 4 static stations - Standing Broad Jump, Shuttle Run, Seat Up and Chin up + 1 non-static station - 2.4km run. Oh wells, passing it used to be so damn easy. But as you progress with age, the non static station gets increasingly challenging. More than 60% of the NSmen get killed at the 2.4 run despite doing well for the rest of the static stations.

Fail it and you will go to Remedial Training (RT). Notoriously hard to book a slot for RT on the army online portal, if you fail to attend RT, you will get charged by the military court.

Upon attending, you will have to attend 20 sessions of 3-4hrs training within 2 months.

So please kindly understand the frustration and agony all Singaporean males gonna face when they talk about IPPT/RT. Really suck big time!

Thank god I managed to clear mine.. Which means I am safe till my next birthday! Yippee!!
