Problem with changing PES

[Darth_Proto]

I was diagnosed with a blood disorder during my medical review at cmpb years ago, recently I went to see a haematology specialist at Sgh and they declared me fit for physical n combat duties since I have no symptoms and provided me with a memo to help me up pes.

Me being happy thinking that I’m gonna up pes provided that letter to the medical officer at cmpb and guess what, the letter was disregarded and I was told that the letter changes nothing as it’s stating nothing that they do not know of yet when it clearly stated that I’m fit.

I’m just confused right now to whether concede defeat and accept my current PES C9 or pursue this matter further since I’ve time till next year. Any advices are welcomed, help a bro out !

Why do you want to up PES?

My advice is just make good use of your PES C9. Up PES is a lengthy process, some people can take half the NS duration to up/down PES. If you successful up PES, you might need to spend the last 2-3 months of your NS duration to redo BMT or posted to a new combat reservist unit without any proper combat training.

To sign on bro, even the specialist I saw mentioned ppl with my condition managed to up PES with their memo

I wanted to up PES as I had plans of having a career with SPF, was even one of the fittest among my friends during schooling days. It’s just kinda disappointing that I am not able to go through normal PES A/B life when I’m capable of it and having to settle down for C9 where you don’t get to experience much

Then you have the misperception.

Physically fit and health is 2 separate things.

there can be someone who can run 2.4km in under 9 minutes, but that person may be blind in one eye

so don’t confuse the 2
