Gold for IPPT
Finally i got my gold for IPPT... I got no idea how did i do it or how i manage to clock the timing for my 2.4km run to get the IPPT gold timing. But i could only explain one thing.
The regimented sergeant major aka RSM in short is fit as hell !! Before the start of the run my Platoon sergeant said those who wanna get gold just follow his pacing throughout. And that is what i did throughout the run and just running beside or behind him in a controlled speed. And that is how i did it...
Reason saying why the RSM is fit as hell, he ran the 2.4km the twice and still clock the gold timing even at the age of 30+ maybe near 40 ? Just guessing his age but i guess his around there.
Before enlisted in NS i clock a time of 11.15 with is just a average silver timing during my NAPFA test at Singapore Polytechnic stadium NAPFA test. Then enlisted 1st IPPT run still was the same timing. After a few weeks of training in Tekong BMTC, i manage to cut a time of 10.30 then 10.18 or 10.15.
I guess there wasnt much of a motivation for me during back then at Tekong, as i didnt wanna go to command school and there wasnt any incentives given even so you get Gold in IPPT.
Speaking of incentives, what did i get after i get Gold in IPPT, earlier book out in this 5SIR unit, SGD$200 for getting gold in IPPT. Seriously what can u ask for, the whole afternoon u can spent with anyone of ur darling girl or families and friends.
Anyway training got toughest each time and harder, gonna try to survive my ass till whatever it takes to finish this 2 years of waste of time.
