Just wanna ask some issue abt my PES status...
I'm currently PES C9L3 (Temp for 12 mths since enlistment) due to 2 relapses of epilepsy,which both were occured during high fever when i was 5 and 14 years old.
Some questions:
1)What's my chances of me being upgraded to PES A/B despite having this medical condition?
2)Is there any instance of NSFs,who have just upgraded from PES C to PES A/B,go straight to command school to become specialists or even officers? -
1) chances are up to the 3 MOs in a routine medical board who grading ur medical case when ur temp 1 yr pes is due to expiry. may be still remain another 1 yr temp pes again, or if u included newer specialist memos/reports from ur hospital the attending reviewing doctor, the medical board might conversion to pes perm status, and lastly on their mind would then they think of the pes upgrade.Originally posted by mark_28:Just wanna ask some issue abt my PES status...

2) no... instead... u will be high chance of re-vocated to a combat vocationalist in the same unit whereas possible during nsf/reservist time. heard of a pes c admin clerk during nsf converted to a normal battalion rifleman during reservist since pes upgrade after ord. -
Hi, I've just been downgraded permanent to E1 L9. The MC letter from the med board said the following:
"This is to certify that the above-named was attended to and is:
1 Normal duties "
My question is:
What does it mean by "normal duties"? Does it mean I still need do field training when I go back for ICT (i'm a NS man and in combat vocation)? Or "normal duties" mean light/admin duties or what?
Also, is it possible that the MC has a typo error, and it's supposed to read:
"This is to certify that the above-named was attended to and is excused from :
1 Normal duties"
So is it possible the words "excused from" is missed out on the MC?
Anyone can help to clarify? Thanks a lot. -
let's say i cant pass my NAPFA. will i be PES C? i am slightly overweight

normal duties means normal duties under the pes e1l9 medical status.
usually the normal duties part is to add on any excuses inclusive to accompany the pes status for more info as such: excuse heavy loads perm... excuse loud noise environment... excuse lower limb activities... excuse no4 uniform perm... etc.etc.
and mostly likely u will be revocationed to a non-combatant vocation, but still the same reservist unit. for field duties... the l9 means that yes u still may need to go outfield but likely for a very short while. most likely u r stationed in base camp (rear end) while outfield. -

Im used to be PES A but was downgraded to C1L3 perm with P-tag during my BMT due to anxiety disorder as I was having problem adjusting to the new environment.
But now I have recovered and been discharged by the SAF psychiatrist and everything is alright.
Will I be able to upgraded to PES A/B ? Because Im seeking the option of signing on with the army. What are the chances of upgrading for my case?
Im currently a storeman in a totally non-combat unit...no combatant at all...so if I get to upgraded...does it means that i definitely get to posted out to a combat unit? -
Currently serving. C9L2 due to Asthma.
I have recently been prescribed Seroxat for my anxiety and drepression, and also Xanax for my panic and anxiety attacks. These attacks are irregular and often violent.
I was wondering whether the fact that I have been described these medications would be enough to indicate a level of seriousness, which is obvious to the people that see my have my attacks.... I am desperate to get better but unforunately the combat unit environment doesn't help the condition...
I understand i have to do NS, because it is mandatory by law..
I have been seeing an outside Psychiatrist and am seeing an SAF one next Tuesday...
I just want to know, in most cases, whether cases like mine, affect PES status? -
i m pes C1L1 nw can i be in combatant?
