Not attending the Remedial Training for your IPPT that you failed or defaulted is obviously a chargeable offence.
MINDEF will send you the SAF 264 letter telling you to be at NSSC (in CMPB) on a weekday to face the charge. First time offenders will just receive a reprimand and then will have to book your RT on the spot.
If you repeat the offense for the second time (like me) you will be given 2 choices for punishment:
1. Pay a $100 fine
2. Go to DB for 3 days
For the third and consecutive offences, I think the fine would just go up and up because I saw 1 guy being fined $150 and another dude $300.
Note:
The CMPB pass office people won’t let you in if your hair is dyed. They rejected me and told me to color my hair black at the salon far far away.
Hi, I just received SAF 264, defaulted ippt. Izzit the same punishment U mentioned for first time offender regardless of rank? And do u know whether am I able to change the reporting date??

@sky, yup, i think you’ll get the same punishment. And most probably no, you can’t change the date of your sentence in CMPB lol
So did you default on RT again the third time?

@Jason, LOL I DID.
It cost me $150. And the next time I am found guilty, it’s DB for 3 days.

@Azhar Kamar,
LOL, you mean they give you 2 options to choose again; fine or DB and then tell you the 4th time is no more fine and 100% go DB?

@Jason, Ahem, pardon me for asking so many questions. I’m a first time RT defaulter and well… Let’s just say that I’m keen on skipping as much as I could before they decided to send me go DB :D

@Jason, yup, they gave me the 2 options again because I brought along documents and gave them a good reason (not really a good one lol) why I didn’t turn up for IPPT for the 3rd time.
Well I believe after the 3rd, there’ll only be 1 option left – DB.
