  FYI, PES is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PULHHEEMS
  

   

  Therefore, for eyes, yes. it's medical fitness.
  
  IPPT, no. it's physical fitness.

  Medical Classification Centre

  Location and Operating Hours
  MCC is located at Level 1, CMPB Podium.
  Central Manpower Base (CMPB)
  3 Depot Road
  Singapore 109680
  
  Mondays - Fridays: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
  Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays: Closed
  
  Pre-enlistment Medical Screening
  Prior to enlistment, all pre-enlistees have to undergo a thorough medical examination at the Medical Classification Centre (MCC) within the Central Manpower Base (CMPB). This examination allows the medical fitness of a pre-enlistee to be assessed and this subsequently determines his Physical Employment Status (PES).
  
  Medical Screening Appointment Preparations
  As part of the e-documentation, you are also required to select your preferred medical appointment date as well as to complete the medical questionnaire (e7F). You will need to go through the medical questionnaire form with your parents / guardian so that useful medical information about you is captured.
  
  To ensure that your medical experience with us is pleasant and that the overall screening process is not unnecessarily delayed, we have compiled a checklist for you:
  
  

  1. Print out a copy of the medical questionnaire (e7F) and ensure that your parent / guardian and you sign on the printed document. Bring the e7F on the day of your medical appointment at MCC.
  2. Avoid wearing contact lenses. Wear your spectacles as you will be required to undergo eye checks.
  3. Wear loose fitting clothes (e.g. shorts) to facilitate physical examination.
  4. Bring along any medical documents to support your existing medical condition (if any).
  5. Health Booklet (if any).

  
  Clinical Examinations
  The medical screening process takes on average 150 minutes to complete and there is a series of test that you will have to undertake.
  
  Registration Station
  At MCC Registration Counter, you will be required to submit your e7F. As a form of verification, you will be asked for your NRIC or any form of photo identification (e.g. driving license, school pass.)
  
  Clinical Laboratory Station
  At the Clinical Laboratory Station blood samples are drawn for G6PD, haemoglobin and blood group typing tests. Simple urine tests to detect the presence of blood, protein and glucose (sugar) will also be carried out for you at the Station.
  
  Dental Station
  At the Dental Station, the Dental Officer will carry out an oral examination and Dental Charting. A Dental X-ray or Orthopantomography (OPG) will also be conducted.
  
  X- ray Station
  A Chest x-ray (CXR) screening will also be conducted for you at the X-ray Station for the radiological assessment of your heart and lungs.
  
  Eye Station
  At the Eye Station routine eye tests are carried out to detect eye abnormalities and test your visual and refractive error.
  
  ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Station
  At ENT Station an audio test or audiogram will be conducted to detect hearing abnormalities.
  
  Station 6 (Clinical Examination Station)
  Station 6 is the Clinical Examination Station, you will undergo height, weight and blood pressure measurements. An electrocardiogram (ECG) will also be done for you in the ECG Room.
  
  After completion of all the clinical investigations and measurements, you will then be examined and evaluated by a Medical officer.
  
  Station 6 Counter (Post Clinical Screening)
  Once you have completed the above series of medical screening, you will be medically classified with a PES grading.
  
  Station 6 Counter will also issue instructions for the pre-enlistee if the pre-enlistee is to return to MCC for any further medical investigations.
  
  Other Services
  MCC Eye Clinic
  The Specialist Eye Clinic at MCC provides medical assessment for eye conditions. An appointment will be made for you during the screening procedure should it be deemed necessary. Please bring all documents regarding any known eye condition for your appointment.
  
  MCC ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Clinic)
  The Specialist ENT Clinic provides pre-enlistment assessment for ENT complaints. You will be informed if there is a need for you to attend this clinic.
  
  MCC Specialist Psychiatric Clinic
  The Specialist Psychiatric Clinic at MCC aims to assess the suitability of a pre-enlistee with regard to psychiatric conditions already known or discovered during the screening process. It is essential to have one parent accompany you should an appointment be made for you and it would greatly shorten the delay to enlistment if you bring all your pre-existing psychiatric medical records for your appointment.
  
  MCC Specialist Orthopedic Clinic
  The specialist orthopedic clinic has the purpose of grading a pre-enlistee with regard to any orthopedic problems. A medical officer will be in attendance together with a senior doctor from one of the restructured hospitals. Here we will grade you based on your orthopedic problems. Please bring all medical reports and X-ray films for this visit.
  
  Medical Review
  A pre-enlistee with any abnormalities noted during the medical screening will be required to undergo medical review. This can take several forms as appropriately decided by the Medical Officer.
  
  Referral to SAF Military Medicine Institute (MMI) / Government / Restructured Hospitals
  The pre-enlistee may be referred to SAF MMI, government / restructured hospitals for further investigations. If the referral is required, he will be given a set of documents to bring along as well as information regarding the date, time and venue.
  
  Physical Employment Status (PES)
  The PES grading assigned is based on your medical condition and is used by the SAF in determining your vocation during your NS period.
  
  

  Vocational Assessment

  Introduction
  The Vocational Assessment Centre (VAC) conducts a battery of tests called the Manpower Aptitude Assessment System (MAPAS) to assess your mental abilities. This is so that we can maximize our limited manpower by putting people where their abilities can be best used.
  
  Your Vocational Assessment scores will affect important decisions, which include assignment to a vocation and selection to be a commander (Officer, Specialist).
  
  Therefore, you should put in as much effort as possible to do the tests well and accurately, as this will not only help the nation maximize it's limited manpower, but also help us place you into vocations that will make good use of your abilities.
  
  What are the tests like
  We use different sub-tests to measure different types of mental ability. Some of the mental abilities that we measure include memory, speed of responding, abstract reasoning, following complex instructions, solving mathematical problems, mental spatial ability, and psycho-motor skills.
  
  a) Word analogies
  b) Number reasoning
  c) Picture reasoning
  
  All the sub-tests are computer administered. Most of the sub-tests will present a problem or question on the screen and you will need to respond accordingly. Some sub-tests however, measure speed or hand-eye co-ordination and may look like simple computer games.
  
  How long is the test at VAC
  Since we have to be as accurate as possible, we need to measure as wide a range of your abilities as is possible. Thus, the testing will require about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of your time.
  
  What to do

  • Do not worry too much. All we require you to do is to do your best. Each sub-test has instructions to guide you on what to do.
  • Ask for help: If you have problems understanding any of the sub-tests or the instructions during testing, there will be people on-site to help you.
  • Get a good night's sleep. Come for the test with a fresh mind.

  most likely within pes c range.
  
  for the ache abit when cold and other relate complaints, use mouth tell cmpb MO on the medical checkup day.
  
  any other concerns, declare during 1-to-1 private consultation with the MO.
