As a parent, I am happy that the IPPT requirement seems to be " easier ", and my son when he is due for enlistment will have an easier time ( physically ).

 

As a citizen however, I am concern if this change lower the overall fitness requirement for our soldier?

It is fine to change to just 3 station, but requirement to pass seems like lower than current / old IPPT system.

just curious. why as a parent, you are happy with the "easier" standard for your son?

 

I presume you serve NS too and if you live thru it, I am sure you also want your son to experience what your experienced and do even better than what you have achieved.

I had go thru the same shit that most bros here have gone thru, but hoping that he will do better than me does not means I want him to suffer the same shit that I had experience.

ok valid reason.

 

the reason why I ask is I find ippt is not really that shitty as compare to those nonsensical bo liao things that commanders put us thru.

 

For me, I would want my kid to excel, if not, do better than me in ippt.

But that's me and I respect your reasoning too. [:)]

Of the 3 stations, 2.4km run have to be standard; sit-up: elbow have to touch the knees, what abt push up?

Push up, can do half-f**k? Body straight?

 

Nevertheless, I really feel these 3 stations are really a breeze now as compared to last time.

We should be seeing a much much higher % of passing rate, if this is what the army wants...

Hmm, the army is really rich in giving out $ incentives :))

nothing wrong to collect more $$$, so nothing wrong to give out also. [:p]

 

It's good incentives, not so easy to get like everyone will get or not too difficult like only top 0.5% will get. This way, most people will get motivated. Too tough, you also sian 1/2 right?

35 sit ups, 10:41 in 2.4km run and 35 push-ups and you walk away with $400!

 

That's probably for Cat X. Not sure about others.

- - - 2 fitness 'experts' who don't dig the new IPPT - - -

 

Director of Genesis gym Jonathan Wong, who conducts IPPT training:

 

- while the new test was "significantly easier", it might undermine combat fitness standards."Some of these items like the chin-up train our soldiers' combat fitness. You need that upper body strength to pull yourself up a rope or a wall, or the speed and agility in shuttle run to run from cover to cover," he said.Training for the standing broad jump, which is the hardest item, also improves strength, flexibility and endurance.

 

Fitness consultant Rick Wong, 44:

 

- felt the new test was a response to popular demand and a "watering down" of standards.He noted that the change in the scoring format to let soldiers combine points earned from the stations, could lead to "lopsided and imbalanced" fitness levels."We might get soldiers who lack upper body strength but are good at cardio
