Dummy's guide to Medical Board[NSmen]

[VD]

u got read one anot or just one to increase post cows.

he not having a medical board review la. just one to get upperlimb excuse from MO.

why got a prob with me? it is a question, if u don't like what you reading, u don't have to torture yrself to reply to it. And if I bother about post count chalking, I would probably be in the tenth of thousands or not more looking at the year I'm registered.

chill out

 

[godbless]

thnaks bro... much appreciated!

no worries man...actually you can check online at www.ns.sg whether your unit has initiated the medical review appt for u. if yes, u should receive an sms alert to acknowledge it and you can print out the SAF100...

and do you have a letter from your specialist? if yes, then pass him the letter.

So you going to see the MO or the medical board?

MO...


I don't have any letter at the moment...

I will DEFINITELY ask for letter from my MO...next time...

you seriously got self pwned, MO wouldn't give you excuse without an external advice from your specialist. ok, rephrase, less likely. Since you already told your specialist you are able to carry with the training, you probably lost majority of the chance to get a downgrade. Sometimes what x-ray cannot detect a CAT scan can, but since he put you on physio meaning he suspect it to be muscular or posture.

Your aim should be to recover from the pain and not just looking for a downgrade, that way, you feel better when you cure yourself of the pain you been getting, a downgrade would be a plus to you. Maybe after your physio or in the mid of it, you don't feel an improvement then you should tell the specialist about it and see what he can find out.

As for your excuse from the MO, tell the MO honestly your condition and hope he will give you an excuse, tell him, you have to go through some physio at NUH and that the specialist have yet to determine the source of the problem lor.. I think that shouldnt be considered as a lie. But to add some sympathy, try telling him of the pain you get on the shoulders from the upper body exercise

Hi i was hoping that someone can give me some advice or direction on my case. I was diagnosed with depression some time early august. And i have been on medication ever since, most recently my dosage has been increased, as it has become increasingly difficult for me to sleep.

My psychiatrist actually wrote me a letter for me to bring to into camp when i was suppose to enlist sometime in sept (PES A). However one of my friends actually told me about another case of his friend where he required medication to sleep. He was actually sent back home on the day of his enlistment, and asked him to go down to CMPB for a medical review. He was immediately downgraded.

As such, i called up CMPB and told them about my case, they told me i should immediately report to CMPB for a review, which i did.

As of now my enlistment date has been pushed forwards 3 months, and i am due to have a psychiatric examination. I actually had no intention to declare my medical condition as i feared having the record in my ns medical history.

Is there anything i can do about this? I feel very stressed not being able to enlist early, i sincerely hope to get in early and clear my NS asap so i can quickily go to uni. Can anyone also help enlighten me as to what to expect?

Thanks in advance

 

[The_Davis]

push forward or pushed backward?

 

[PapaJoe]

pushed backwards i guess, meaning now will have to enlist after september, my original enlistment date.

Depression can be cured with a healthy dose of chiong sua...

Go army, learn some discipline, train urself up, lose those baby fats and become a man.

Maybe you can't see it now, but when you go hunt for jobs, employers always look out for your role and rank in the military. Officers, Sergeants and even unranked Combat Personnel are attributed with better emotional fortitude and stand better chances to secure good jobs. It's a fact.

Okay, in short, here is what I recomend to all potential kengsters. If you can carry on training, carry on training. I learnt from bitter, bitter experience that it is sometimes worse to be service personnel than combat personnel.

Story of my NS Life:

Point of Downgrade: I was serving my 3rd last week of BSLC in Tekong in Nutcracker when I struck a huge rock with my changkul and tore a major ligament in my arm. I was sent to CGH and downgraded within two weeks.

Fast forward 1 week: As an OOC in SISPEC, I was seriously treated like SH*T! U wake up half an hour earlier than the rest to set up safety and water points. You stay up an hour later than the rest to maintain the radios and signal sets. Yet, when the coy books out early for good performance, you find yourself taking the bloody last fastcraft out of Tekong Holiday Resort.

Fast forward 2 months: I was sent to 42 SAR as a clerk. Same story, except WORSE. On top of all the Sai Gang earlier mentioned, I was often sent to the Ossifer Mess to EFFING Shell Prawns, Scale Fish and Kill Crabs for the Officers Quarterly Mass Chao Geng celebration. Those Cheesepies would puke on the floor and order us to go over and clean up. NBCB... In addition, the clerks in my dept were a mix of Homosexuals, Ku niangs and Kengsters who play politics, porh the Chief Clerk and push weekend duties to me. It practically made life in BMTC feel like heaven. Plus, 42 SAR is in ******* LIM CHU KANG JUNGLE!!!

Fast forward 4 months: As the Battalion's despatch clerk, I got the chance to make friends with the CPC clerks in CMPC, who told me how to get an upgrade and secure a posting back to SISPEC. I made friends with the CPC captain, who decided to post me back to SISPEC after I told him my story. I actually PAID for a private specialist to certify me combat fit and I went back to Tekong, the Happiest man ever to go to SISPEC.

Fast forward 7 months: Secured Coy 2nd best and got selected for OCS conversion, where I eventually commissioned as a Combat Engineer PC 13 months from the time I OOCed from SISPEC.

Moral of this EFFING Story: Service vocations aren't as peachy as most think. Often, service personnel are despised, looked down upon, mistreated and unfairly allocated Sai Gang ++. If you can Chiong Sua, pls dun downgrade. Dun waste the precious time in Army being someone's nosedig slave when you can do something for yourself by working out, getting fit and doing the best of the time you'd have to waste in this effing army anyway.

With this story, I've probably sexposed myself to all of the 27 and 29 BSLC pple le... Believe me. A life of a clerk can be REALLY TOUGH.

Best of luck. Be inspired.
