Yo bro,

With a scheme like that, you are probably looking at a total wipeout.

This training "menu" sounds "delicious", I want to join but sadly I have my own committment during the break... cry

I'm sure will fail for the fitness test, result of not working out for the coming 2 months.

Shame on you guys, haven't try say fail dy. Never was once i met LG's with such low confidence / tolerance for a challenge. Damn. Where's the spirit? Do you know that to pass a fitness test is not to escape replacement, but to complete each event? There were LGs who took replacement right till their final year and did not complain, you guys so fast complain dy? There was also a captain, THE CAPTAIN knows that he cannot pass the fitness test yet THE CAPTAIN still complies and do replacement. Although the fitness test was way beyond THE CAPTAIN'S physical capabilities, THE CAPTAIN still do it. He even enjoys it. WHY?

Jun Yuan,

I heard about the weekly training. If it is not tough it is pointless, with or without fitness test / replacements.

frankly...for seniors these events are passable...come on...you guys n gals did Award n Distinct...except maybe 3rd event...cause i oso never time my underwater swim before...duno wat's the standard...

for juniors who fail...just shows that u guys n gals not ready for Award n Distinct...

for super juniors (newcomers) who fail...em...welcome to the corps... biggrin

i always vouch for replacement, but not PUNISHMENT...

replacement means replace those event that we failed...my personal opinion...

perhaps for seniors who fail one event...maybe they had too much McD or KFC or buffet during holiday (e.g. myself)...give them a chance lar...replace the event until pass...

for more than one...em...punishment...

of course...now i can only bark outside the corps...
just my 2 cents...
good luck guys n gals...
