I PES C1L1....

My advise to you isto just stick to whatever you are assigned, they said you are Pes C that means that you are Pes C.Originally posted by Bum Ble Bee:but my date for bmt also set liao...
u mean after my modified bmt, i can ask the oc to give me pes upgrade?
then i would have to go for bmt all over again?
When doing NS, sometimes it is not good to show "too much" "initiative". After you are enlisted, you will know what I mean.
Since they say that you are Pes C, than live with it. You ask for upgrade later your old injury get worse nobody in SAF will sympathise with you.
Unless you have very very strong reason why you want to go Sispec or OCS like maybe you want to sign on.... But with a old injury, better don't sign on combat vocation, later get downgraded after sign on even more worse.
Take my advice... do nothing and go through your PES C BMT.
I am not asking you to "keng", be responsible during your NS stint and make the best of your 2 or 2.5 years there, but sometimes it is not good to be "too" eager and always take care of your own health and safety. -
Look at it this way.. staying in Pes C is not considered 'Keng' after you have gone through NS itself. Its very easy to say that you want to go SISPEC or OCS due to their challenges but many have rescinded their "wishes" from the first day they step into Tekong. Believe me, if u do not want to sign on, its not worth it to go through all that trouble to upgrade ur PES status, its kinda like upheaving the enitre system, sorta like "spoil market" . The army has already taken away two or 2.5 yrs of your life, make sure you extract the best deal from them..

if u think u r actualli fine, and wish to upgrade, u can contact cmpb now telling them ur intentions. date of bmt being set does not mean anything. it can be changed. and even if u haf gone into bmt, u can quickly c the mo and tell them ur intentions. u may waste some time waiting for another bmt but if tts wat u wan im sure u dun mind.Originally posted by Bum Ble Bee:but my date for bmt also set liao...
u mean after my modified bmt, i can ask the oc to give me pes upgrade?
then i would have to go for bmt all over again?
in the end the decision lies wif the MO. and as i said, u may be asked to sign a document to indemnify saf.
but think through carefully too. if u r actually not tt okay and ur doctors do not recommend ur upgrade, its pointless to try to be garang but end up injurying urself. but if u r indeed okay and ur doctors think u can upgrade and u WANT to upgrade den by all means go ahead. its being rational and not jus emotional, and think long term. -
Pes C1L1 doesnt mean u will not be in combat unit. i also pes C1L1(ord liao). i got my downgrade in unit but my voaction still remain. i m excuse all upper body activities and heavy weight. my voaction doesnt permit me that ( tank driver).

I enlisted more than a decade ago, maybe things have changed but I would like to share my experience.
I experienced a lot of knee pain during BMT, usually after runs or SOCs, route march OK. Don't know why painfully but heck care. Usually can endure thru because of the "it is in the mind" attitude I went through BMT and did pretty OK. I got into Sispec (SAFINCOS in those days) and during the Sispec FFI, I told them I am "prefectly OK" without any pain. Now the reason I didn't tell them of my knee pain is because:
a. I want to sign-on pilot, have passed the medical and psychomotor tests and is going for the interview soon.
b. Even if don't sign on, I want to gungho and although disappointed didn't go OCS but would like to be section leader or maybe do went in Sispec and then go OCS.
Basically I don't want to "risk" any of the above.... so I tell them NO pain. But at SAFINCOS then siong...
Day One (Mon)
Collect Kit (last time personal eqpt not issued) and bunks.
Day Two (Tue)
5am 5BXmorning run. after morning run, breakfast and after breakfast show us SAFTI and 2.4 route, which means run around SAFTI then run to the 2.4 start point, run 2.4 then run back to Company Line.
Day three
5BX followed by morning run, breakfast, then show us SOC route, run to SOC start point and then run the SOC route in vest and slacks, afternoon PT. By then my knee cannot tahan liao.
Day Four
5BX morning run, then after breakfast endurance run (forget how many clicks). I dropped out because cannot knee tahan. later on cannot even climb the stairs.
Day Five (Friday)
Morning difficulty putting on slacks because cannot stand on one leg, have to put on slacks sitting down on the floor. Report Sick and you know what the sicko MO did, he give me Sickbay until Sunday afternoon, which means that I can't book out with the rest on Saturday monring. and Basically all those who report Sick without outward visible signs (like swelling), got about half a platoon of us from various Companies, all kana confinement in the sickbay.
The MO doesn't believe that my knee can be so serious (I cannot stand on one leg) in such a short time(4 days), I told him I got history of pain in BMT and he said your FFI says you are OK!!! So I lan lan kanna Confinement.
Cut the story short, I went to see a specialist and realised that my leg is seriously injured, downgrade to Pes E. So here ends my dream of pilot and section leader.
Moral of the story is Take heed, take care of yourself in NS.
Even then, as a Pes E clerk got best serviceman of the month twice.
Thanks for reading my story. -
