| Hmm...what kind of BMT do I qualify for? |
Enhanced BMT
To qualify for the 9 weeks BMT, one must fulfil the criteria of:
·
Having
a BMI of less than 24 at the point of time when they measure at CMPB
·
Gotten
at least a silver for NAPFA during polytechnic/junior college days
PTP BMT
To qualify
for the 17 weeks BMT, one must fulfil the criteria of:
·
Having
a BMI of less than 24 at the point of time when they measure at CMPB
·
Failed
or just obtaining a pass in NAPFA during polytechnic/junior college days
PTP BMT comprises 8 weeks of pure physical training, objective of which is to train recruits to pass their IPPT. After that, the remaining 9 weeks are used for fundamental and combat training, learning the exact things others learnt in Enhanced BMT.
BP BMT
To qualify
for the 19 weeks BMT, one must fulfil the criteria of:
·
Having
a BMI of more than 27 at the point of time when they measure at CMPB
·
Any
results for NAPFA during polytechnic/junior college days because it does not
matter once BMI exceeds
BP BMT is exactly the same as PTP BMT. The only difference is the additional 2 weeks in BP BMT whose sole purpose is to make recruits lose weight till acceptable range.
Also, it is worth noting that if one’s BMI is between the range of 24 to 27, they would still go to BP BMT. This group of people will be classified as mildly obese, unlike the rest, who are classified as obese.
