PES FAQs @ "No Hospital Specialist Memo, No Talk?!"
-
Hi, my medical checkup states that I'm pes C1L3
Which vocation would I likely be posted to? How long would my bmt be reduced?
Also, what are the stations that I can skip during ippt.
Thanks! -
pes c1 pple can only skipped up to 2 static stations.
pes c pple go thru 7 weeks modified bmt.
This course trains recruits of lower medical fitness for assignment to selected service vocations after completing BMT. Training objectives and intensity are lower to reflect the lower combat fitness of this group of recruits.
pec c pple after bmt will most likely posted to admin/service/technical vocations. [/url] -
hi omnipresent,Originally posted by omnipresent:hey doesnt anyone here knows anybody with a blood deficiency called factor 5. im just wondering what pes status would i get
I must say that factor V Leiden is quite unusual. You must bring this up at your pre-enlistment review. The main problem with this medical condition is that your blood is more likely clot and hence you may be at risk of stroke & other thrombosis especially if dehydrated. Please do let the Mos at the MCC knowas you merit a downgrade Prob to PES C or E. -

thanks for replying me. the main problem of my illness is that if there is any internal bleeding, my blood cannot clot back.its not factor V Leiden but owren's disease or sth. i actually told the mo about it and they had refer me to the hospital and i've got everything done and the report sent back to cmpb.just that they're taking quite some time to give me my pes status and i couldnt plan my schedule.i just hope they could be faster. lol. -

Factor V deficiency or Owren's is even rarer.
Because even full-time doctors like me rarely encounter it, I think SAF would
be even less knowledgeable. But it merits a PES E or F depending on severity. plan for bookout everyday at the very least. -
Could anybody advice on the questions on the previous page? Thank you!Originally posted by q334554321:Hi, I have recurring fainting spells, with a positive tilt-table test. My blood pressure falls consistently on standing.
What PES is that likely to be? I would appreciate any suggestions. -
can any MO give some advice?
it's regarding scoliosis..spine curve of cobb angle between 20 to 30 degrees? is this considered mild still? and what will the MO do ? temp downpes? -
hi q_many numbersOriginally posted by q334554321:Could anybody advice on the questions on the previous page? Thank you!
Though the tilt-table test is positive and you are obviously having posture.-related symptoms, we'll need to have a firm diagnosis before the MCC can classify you. Has your cardiologist come to a diagnosis yet? -

Thank you for your reply. I had a borderline abnormal "autonomic function test". All the rule-out tests for Cardio, "Addison's disease", diabetes, "auto-immunity", whatever mineral/vitamin deficiency etc. were normal. There are no more tests ordered. The doctor suggested poor muscular tone as a possible cause for blood pooling in the legs. (Yes I am very skinny)
If it is just "recurring vasovagal syncope", is a Pes B likely? -
I'm afraid vasovagal syncope is not really a downgradable condition. I would however bring this up at MCC. Being Skinny really cannot account for all the fainting spells. if nothing definite can be found then PES B would be quite likely, but make sure you bring all the test results. Without seeing your detailed info, I wont be able to classify you straight off.Originally posted by q334554321:Dr. Green_saccades,

you didn't declare this during your medical screening? -
correctOriginally posted by goldevil:I heard ppl with similar problems like me get a temp downgrade like 3 months to 6 months . ( also with have SAF shrink assigned ).i am going for medical checkup in june and am wondering if i should include it in my medical questioaire .
you really shouldi wan be normal peng
well.... no disrespect but if you suffer from anxiety, NS is going to be rather tough. it's not only the training. it's also separation from your comfort zone, and coping with physical and mental and emotional stress.
my mum and dad will make sure I say cos they r going with me .
how were you initially diagnosed? -
i heard that u will still get pes D from my private doc .Originally posted by green_saccades:well.... no disrespect but if you suffer from anxiety, NS is going to be rather tough. it's not only the training. it's also separation from your comfort zone, and coping with physical and mental and emotional stress.

then must c their shrink at cmpb . ( a long wait , theres a patient with serious mental illness in temp pes E1L9 who get D first )
he later became pes C cos improved le .
then most likely is temp downgrade and assign shrink when u serve .
my case should be temp C grade according to my doc .
i have this when i have o levels .
then c shrink , me graduating from poly next year . ( but must book date le )
intitially is anxiety then develop mild depression .....
my poly days r damned stressful .
my doc has many expiriences with SAF and has even personally exempted a few ppl from NS .
then if i enlist , he told me to c their shrink cos save money ...... ( surely will get assigned 1 shrink or even a consueller )
