  The previous version of the BMTC site stated the types of BMT and BMT (WL) was conducted as recently as 8 Sep 06. There are very few intakes of BMT (WL), if any still exists.

  Obese can be posted to SISPEC if they managed to get fit and pass IPPT. During my BMT, sch 1 CO told us hes proud that 1 or 2 E (eagle but we like call elephant) coy REC managed to get fit and qualify for SISPEC. OCS i'm not so sure since i haven't heard any case yet.

  I am going for my NS enlistment on this Sat, aka 15th Dec.
  I am wondering if my hairstyle is suitable for the oath-taking ceremony since I bleached my fringe yellow and my fringe length is about my nose.
  
  But the letter it wrote 'decent hairstyle' so I am not sure whether my hairstyle can or not.

  You probably book out the night before and come back the next day. Or if you are suay you don't come out at all.
