it actually all depends on the medical board date and whether they have enough slots to put u thru.. i signed the papers and 3 days later i was downpes-ed :s7:
u saw the status slip of ur pes status?
It's damn fast for emergency cases where ur casaveced out to Hospital in the mid of exercise. They prioritize ur case.
status good enuf to cover ma

hi guys.... im a nsmen now...

after ord, i went to see a specialist on my prolong knee pain... after going through MRI scan, the specialist wrote me a letter citing the medical conditions, and wrote excuse heavy load, excuse running, marching, jumping, ippt and rt...

subsequently around 6 months later i went to book a medical review with my reservist unit... they take very long to get back to me so after calling them up and rushing them, they schedule another medical board review and they downgrade me to c2l2 for 1 year only. my temp downgrade expires in july 2010. the medical board say they will schedule another medical board review 1 month before my temp downgrade expire, and i have to have a more update and recent specialist letter.

however, i also have severe back pain after sitting down for 30 mins or more, or carry heavy stuff, but this problem i havent seen a specialist yet.

what do u guys suggest i do? go to the same knee specialist, but his service is very expensive...i spend close to $3000 the first time i been to him.

or do u guys suggest i go to another specialist and disgnose on my back problem?

or both, go back to the knee, and go to a backbone specialist.

what are my chances of downgrade if i want no more ict and ippt forever. no outfield... what pes status must i get and how should i go about achieving it?

many thanks in advance.
