RT Sessions (1-15)

Since 12 June 2010, I have been attending Remedial Training (RT) in Bedok Camp. The training basically is split into 2 phases.

Phase 1 (8 Sessions a Month / 2 Sessions per Week)
In this phase, there is only 6 Trainings in total because the first is only a briefing, and the last session is the IPPT Re-test. In a way, it is actually not enough for us to pass the first Re-test... Those who could not make it through the first re-test, would have to "promote" to Phase 2 automatically unless you defer it.

Phase 2 (12 Sessions a Month / 3 Sessions per Week)
This phase is slightly better as one more session is added, so you will exercise and train more! Another difference is there are 2 IPPT Re-tests in this phase - One on Session 14, and the other on Session 20. The training is also slightly tougher, and I think Bedok Camp should really do those kind of training during phase 1. No wonder so many people could not make it through the first phase...

During the briefing session, I was approached by a guy who commented how lame and boring RT is going to be during the briefing. During the second session, he saw me and approached me again, and introduced himself to me. He called himself, Ash. And the third session onwards, along with his other friend (whom I still don't know what his name is), we sort of became RT partners. He is quite a heavy smoker, so he would disappear during breaks to smoke secretly somewhere. So probably that is the reason he called himself Ash, and not because of the main character in Pokemon...

Out of the 6 trainings, I only remembered seeing him 4 times. And he thought of using some kind of methods to pass the test. The last time I saw the 2 of them was the first IPPT Re-test, which was the last session of phase 1...

During my Phase 1, I also saw 2 familiar faces among the phase 2 people - Joel Lian and David Tng. And so happened, both of them knew each other in RT and became partners. What a small world...

After my Phase 1, the whole batch of us went immediately into Phase 2, except for Ash and his friend. In this phase, I found myself another partner, Hui Yong. This guy has another friend who he knew him during Phase 1 as well, and till now I still don't get his name... The 3 of us became another RT partners. But Hui Yong's friend did not really attended the scheduled trainings, he always go for the makeup trainings. The 2nd Re-test just ended last week, and none of us still can make it through... And all 3 of us are planning the worst scenario. To down PES? or To take IPT? or Just carry on RT next year?
