For donkey years SAF seems very obsessed with this 2.4km run. Wonder whoes idea is this? US Army?

Seriously whenever looking at those SAF generals..wonder if they actually can run 2.4km..

In old days it was tougher, artymen had to backpack a 120mm mortar on long route marches, 10km runs with full pack were the norm.

As a result artyman developed back problems, people died of heat exhaustion, etc . Thats why they scaled back on the training. There is of course also the "white horse" factor, there more of them around nowadays

Those days, you need to pass 5km SBO/rifle run for BMT. Also before ROD, need to do a 10km run and 72km route march.

After so many years of struggling to pass IPPT! Fear of doing RT, actually is the fear of wasting time reporting for RT... 1 weekday & 1 weekend is no joke!

Yes it was 5km during BMT

Soon after BMT, we graduated to 10 km :(

Did 1 route marches during BMT & others when I was posted to a unit, but don't know if it was 72km. We were quite fit by then & route marches were just a long walk in the park

That shows that your brain isn't working at all. It is nothing to do with Gopal or US or weather soldiers in any other places will collapse. It is about those idiots that are supposed to do something about this, better do their jobs. You are to do something about your cross-wired brains too. :p

You brain isn't working too. Nair wired it with his liar and spastic mentailiy. Please join him. The US to him is the most democratic country--which tortures people offshore.

30 mins ago about 6pm Friday 17.Jun 2011 I was there at Bugis Junction just below the Link-Bridge to Iluma mall. One Singaporean uncle 75 age approx had heart attack. Pedestrians including FTs & locals we helped him, get him seated and relax check pulse and called ambulance & called his family. I think he can make it alive. Lucky him still have pulse but obviously screwed, cold sweating like hell, chest discomfort, pale, difficulty breathing, weak, cold and slow in responding, can hardly speak already. When I 1st noticed him he was leaning slumped already on sidewalk. One SG lady calling 995 already, FT Indian lady and SG Ah Soh supported the old man. Put him on a bench.

2 young men were SMOKING on that bench and they never helped! :( I gave them a kind of a look then they left to smoke else where, because the wind was blowing their 2nd hand smoke toward the collapsed uncle you see. He already can not breath, how can you give him 2nd hand smoke?

Then I alerted the building's security guards, ask them to help. They rushed out, help to support the victim. The security manager guided the ambulance to park near directed road traffic. I hurried the medic to give Ah Pek oxygen mask. Then I left.

He should be now in the ER, I hope SCDF & ER doctors save his live. 100% cardiac emergency case for sure I can tell.

It was just a damn hot day, and Ah Pek just walked under sun only. No IPPT leh. If he fell unconscious no help in time sure mati. Touch wood lah...
