Year 0 IPPT

So it's my time to take IPPT as an NSmen. Technically, I could opt to not take it if I want and wait till it's after my birthday. Then again, it's $$ for the taking so might as well ya. :O

IPPT Result Slip

Took the test at Maju Camp last week (17/5/14). There were loads of nsmen present at that time and you can see the effects of working life on their physical fitness... Some of them were clearly out of shape and hated being there. Others that didn't look so bad were really gunning for just a pass as they frantically asked the PTIs there about it. (There was also something about a sub-pass and all that)

As for me, the effects of training really helped me and the fruits of my labour were clearly shown during the static stations. Everything I did felt a lot easier as compared to when I was in army before. 

2.4km was a killer though, it was really damn painful + its 6 rounds around the carpark. Not to mention, so many people were walking which really does not help to motivate you. Really just got to suck it up, grit your teeth and chiong. More prior training would've helped me. (which I am guilty of not doing as much ;x)

Now I've got quite some time to train for my year 1 IPPT (window opens after Aug for me). Plan is to keep the silver, but then again... LETS GO FOR GOLD!!!!111!
