Develop the skills and knowledge required to plan, prepare and conduct outdoor-based military functional exercise programmes and sessions for groups, including: The pass off parade consists of six displays, one display per section, to demonstrate the skills obtained throughout the AA PTI course. The audience will include family members of those who undertake the course as well as the Colonel Commandant of the RAPTC in attendance, and occasionally other specially invited guests. The parade concludes with the high horse display, performed by the permanent staff of the ASPT, newly qualified RAPTC instructors and the PTI class one course. 7.0 Qualifications Gained We are very pleased to announce the arrival of the next generation of the multi-mode radio capability. UFTO Course: the UFTO course was re-written in 2012 to conform to AGAI Volume 1 Chapter 7, updated documentation, PT policies and various reference materials.

ABN 58/17, published in July 2017, informs us that the course duration is to change once again. The ABN also informs us that the Army is introducing a PTI logbook. Day one of the course consisted of entrance tests (also known as fitness or passing-in tests). Successful completion of which ‘confirmed’ my place on the course and this point also signalled that within the grounds of the PT school everyone had to run, and as a squad. Woe betide anyone who got caught walking (I believe press-ups till your eyes bleed was the phrase regarding a suitable punishment for this particular misdemeanour). The ASPT evaluates its training delivery on a continual basis and is now (since 2012) fully responsible for all PT course design (CD), having sub-divided the previous dual role of both CD and TDT (Training Development Team) from HQ RAPTC. The ASPT training wing has responsibility for resourcing all PT courses. 9.0 Training Facilities

In hindsight, it is clear how these courses reflected the changing attitudes of the PD branch and the impact of changes and trends in the wider civilian fitness community. The impact of collaboration with some of the country’s leading sports science universities was also evident through the development and implementation of updated testing protocols and subsequent course design changes. 8.1 Further Courses Highly portable and equipped with powerful batteries, they can be operated either by dismounted soldiers or mounted on vehicles. RAPTC instructors continue to have their own specialist internal and external CPD training and courses, usually known as a Study Period. At the start of week 2 students are given a confirmed allocation to one of six training sections (approximately 15-20 students per section). Each section is led by a Royal Army Physical Training Corps Instructor (RAPTCI) who provides administration, instruction, advice, coaching and mentoring during the course. 4.5 Curriculum Overview An electronic information board erected near the entrance into camp to ensure all visitors and students are informed on critical information (much to the delight of the training team and the chagrin of students) (since 2013).

There were a number of gymnastic performance tests for PTIs to complete at three levels (basic, intermediate and advanced), designed to promote and assess an individual’s strength, stamina (endurance), skill, speed and suppleness (flexibility). From memory these tests, from across the three levels, included: The PTT switch is most commonly located on the radio's handheld microphone, or for small hand-held radios, directly on the radio. For heavy radio users, a PTT foot switch may be used, and also can be combined with either a boom-mounted microphone or a headset with integrated microphone.

6.0     ‘Pass Off’ Parade

PTI Class 1 Course: The PTI Class 1 course had an overhaul during 2012 which resulted in a change from 3 x 10 weeks (Senior, Intermediate and Junior terms) to 2 x 15 weeks (Senior and Junior terms). Course No.194 (May 2012) was the first course to experience the new two-part course format (Scarr, 2012).

For civilians, fitness training is optional in contrast to military physical training which is compulsory, although over the year’s soldiers and officers have developed a number of devious methods and excuses for avoiding physical training. How to programme safe and effective exercise for a range of clients, the health benefits of physical activity and the importance of healthy eating. Since the coup, the State Administration Council has seized control of all government ministries and state-owned enterprises – as well as their bank accounts – including those involved in PTT’s projects. The junta has also overhauled the Myanmar Investment Commission, responsible for facilitating all foreign investment, installing as chair Lt. Gen. Moe Myint Tun, also a member of the junta. The US, UK, EU, and Canada have sanctioned Moe Myint Tun for committing serious human rights violations, both as a member of SAC and in his previous role as army chief of staff overseeing operations against the Rohingya in 2017. As with other military leaders, Moe Myint Tun is a director of both MEC and MEHL.Less commonly, a separate hand-held PTT switch may be used. This type of switch was historically called a pressel.

Apart from gaining the general qualification of Physical Training Instructor Class Three, instructors also gained several other specialist qualifications and coaching modules: LINTON: LT-2288, LT-3288, LT-6288, LT-5288, LT-3188, LT-2188, LT-3260, LT-2268, LT-3268 , LT6188,LT3288 If the reader wishes to read a brief, but rather amusing, article then go to: http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/PTI 12.0 References The grapevine suggests that the AA PTI course may be further reduced to 8-weeks ( this is now the case), with an uplift of section numbers and course instances, to be delivered in a staged format over the next few years to coincide with the drawdown of forces in Germany and the imminent closure of ASPT (Germany). A major difference between military and civilian fitness instructors, as alluded to above, is that civilian fitness instructors are not required to complete the training that their clients undertake. Also, a client’s fitness goals and aspirations are set by the client and not a higher formation (in this case the British Army).Advanced level: if memory serves correctly, PTI1 trainees were required to pass some tests and attempt others. PTI3 and PTI2 trainees could attempt these tests also. In 1996 when I attended my first fitness course at the Army School of Physical Training (ASPT) – the British Army’s PTI Class Three Course (now All Arms Physical Training Instructor course) – I was one of 99 trainees (one did not turn up) wondering what we had let ourselves in for! Of the 99 trainees on the first day only two were women (one TA (now Army Reserve) soldier and one regular soldier). Thai financial authorities should cooperate with governments that have imposed sanctions and instruct Thai banks processing foreign currency transactions to comply with other countries’ economic measures and sanctions.
