another view for others to consider. years ago I was enslaved to the Remedial Training system. due to poor physique, I had to attend 2 to 3 periods of RT in 1 year. Each period consist of 3 months. 1st to 2nd mth, 2 sessions each week from 5pm to 7pm. during 3rd mth, 3 times a week, including weekends. This affected my work and personal life to no end.
some may blame the RT regulars for poor form, but here's a thought - given that we are spending Billions on purchasing weapons as a deterrent, why make it so inconvenient and NS folks suffer through RT and in some cases risk their lives too (a man died after his IPPT run)? After all, armed forces security is based on head count (that you boast to other countries to deter them).
