BMT 24km route march: Underway

As you read this, more than 3,000 Singapore Army recruits are sweating out their Friday night on a 24-kilometre route march from Changi to Marina Bay.

The marching distance and a graduation parade with Singapore's city skyline as a backdrop is all that separates these recruits from the completion of their Basic Military Training.

Here're some pictures from tonight's outing. More will follow.

Last stop: Marina Bay: Singapore Army recruits from Scorpion Company form up at the SAF Ferry Terminal before their 24-km long journey to the city centre. The recruits will take part in their Basic Military Training Graduation Parade on 2 October 2010 before they embark on further military training.

Ready to go: Basic Military Training instructor (left) Third Sergeant Shaik Qamarul Ariffin, 20, and Recruit Randall Quek, 21, both full-time National Servicemen with Viper Company, Platoon 3, at the Basic Military Training Centre, listen to a final briefing before setting off on a 24-km route march.
