Clare: So did you have a choice about what sort of job you were going to have in the military?


Mike: No, we don't. Once you enlist 1, you have to go through a--what do you call it?-- a health medical check up and you'll be given grade A to F. If you get a grade F you don't have to serve in the military. And grade A and B you have to, and for grade I think C you have to but you'll be given a clerical job mostly.


Clare: Is there... can you say how exactly the classification works?


Mike: For example, for a grade C personnel you might have things like a -- what do you call -- a "ligament laxity" which means it is easy for you to get sprains 2, ankle sprains or back injuries or stuff like that. And you might have... in the past, if you have sweaty palms, that might pass you as grade C because you can't through a grenade, but now they don't take that excuse anymore. Another thing is if you're ... if you have a history of asthma 3 attacks ...


Clare: Well I can see why they would not want people who have asthma being a soldier ...


Mike: Right, but if you're obese 4, that doesn't qualify you for grade C because if you're overweight what they make you to do is to spend an extra two months for Basic Military Training


Clare: Ouch..


Mike: ... or what we term as BMT, so for the average Private, or actually recruit, you have to do three months for BMT ...


Clare: Ouch ...


Mike: ...but for obese personnel you have to do up to five months. So the extra two months is a lot of training, especially cardio training.


Clare: Do you know anyone who had to go through five months of BMT?


Mike: Both of my cousins ... and quite a lot of my friends actually, because Singaporean diet is actually ... yeah, I'll just leave it as that.


Clare: So I imagine if many Americans had to go through that training program, I know I probably would have to take the five months.
