NSmen who skip IPPT must attend fitness boot camp: report

[UPDATED 10:15am 1 November 2015: Corrected, as the boot camp penalty will be applied to those who accumulate three default counts and not just to those who skip IPPT three times in a row]

Starting next year, reservists who skip the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) three times will have to attend a five-day fitness boot camp.
 
According to a report by The Straits Times, the soldiers will be forced to do fitness training during the camp, aside from paying a monetary fine.
 
Currently, offenders are usually spared from being confined to detention barracks, but they typically are asked to pay a fine of $100.
 
The new penalty comes after it was made easier for NSmen to train and pass the mandatory fitness test.
 
In July this year it was announced that the IPPT would comprise three stations instead of five starting from April next year.
