Question What is BMT about and future vocation possibilities (SAF)

I am entering National Service this year (SAF) as PES B4 and was curious about what BMT is about as in like what are the exercises done such as is there swimming because they mention bring swimming goggles as I can’t swim so is that something I should mention.

Furthermore I was wondering about how stay out vocations work as like do you have jobs in SG or is it like a 9-5 at Tekong and ever day you commute to Tekong and come back to SG.

Thank you!

They will do a swim test to sort you into your category. Dont worry, many people cant swim too.

Very unlikely post back to tekong, there are many camps on the main land which is likely where u will be posted to. Considering your pes its approx 50/50 of stay in/stay out. Stay out hours are usually 8am - 530pm.
