Your asthmatic and shortsighted conditions will most probably ensure u are in PES B, but your torn ligament is a tricky one. If very serious case, most probably PES C liaoOriginally posted by NiteSg:Hi,

thanks in advance -

Does anyone knows what thing a PES A person can do that a PES B person cannot?
-
pes b is just to tell u that u have just some minor medical condition yet not serious enough to be downgraded to pes c and below.
pes a means very combat fit. -
No real difference but CDO and NDU prefer PES AOriginally posted by ctstalin:Does anyone knows what thing a PES A person can do that a PES B person cannot? -

I'm a medic here.. It all depends on the seriousness of the flatfoot from what I know. To help yourself, I suggest you can get padding or insoles which actually help flatfooted people. My previous colleague also got padding for his flatfoot.Originally posted by Camus:i heard that flat foot can downgrade is it true? or must see the seriousness of the flat foot? i am currently now pes bp going to pop in 11 days time. so wad should i do now? coz whenever after route march my feet will hurt den must rest for a few days den ok. pls advice. thx. -

Really? Young person with osteoporosis? Unless there is underlying hormonal disorder, it is unilkely. The diagnosis needs to be confirmed and the pes grading depends on the underlying cause..Originally posted by noahnoah:Hi my friend was found with this problem "osteporosis"

Recently in camp, i slipped down a flight of staircase and afterwards i felt a sharp pain around my spine area. I have had problems bending over due to the pain. Currently i pes c9 perm. What should i do....my ord is mid october, should i see the MO and ask for reference to MMI?
Will I be downgraeded to PES E? Previosuly i was downgraded after an surgery on fractured elbow. -
Brittle bone is not the same as osteoporosis although osteoporosis can cause brittle bones. Osteoporosis is due to loss of bone mass, commonly in postmenopausal women but also associated with immobilisation and steroid treatment in both sexes.Originally posted by noahnoah:is 31 young ? LOl

depends on what's the problem...a back strain following the injury will heal with no problem. If you have a slipped disc, then it depends on how bad it is. See your MO...watch and wait...if it gets better, it's a backstrain. If it gets worse or if you develop neurological symptoms, you should be investigated further.Originally posted by limpshaggy:Recently in camp, i slipped down a flight of staircase and afterwards i felt a sharp pain around my spine area.

Guys..Now i am currently temp C2L2..And my official Pes status is C1L2..
My medical condition is scoliosis of the spine and laterly i just realised I am flat footed..And last check with the specialist for the spine, he told me the soft bone between my knee has worn all..Because when i go running, my knees will like go stiff and starts to ache..My back also give me some pain occasionally..
So given all these conditions, should i be given a perm downgrade??
Thanks.. -
this is not a silly question.is the status and excuse granted permanently on medical board really permanently?
if you are granted excused from weapons,ammonunition and range,can officers have the authority to order you to draw arms and follow exercise.when you don follow orders can you be charged?if yes,based on what reason?
this is really important,can anyone offer advise?thanks!please refer to:http://buses.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=208668

when i went wallaby last year, about a quarter of my platoon were excused outfield, weapons or range, and we all still had to go, we all had to draw arms, and we all had to draw blanks. -
say you have blissfully ord-ed but have not received notification of your new reservist unit..if you have medical memos to endorse, do you bring it to (1) cmpb or (2) your old unit after you've ord-ed?

What is the underlying medical condition? Such a blanket excuse sounds strange to me. I would arrange for a medical review in the first place if the medical board has really given such a blanket excuse.Originally posted by xxthunder:this is not a silly question.is the status and excuse granted permanently on medical board really permanently?

Vocational deployment depends on the L status. If he has to be deployed in the frontline, he must be L1 or L2. -
so you are trying to say that you can arrange for a medical review to appeal a medical board's decision? how do you go about doing that? mind pmsg-ing me if it's inconvenient to tell me the procedures in this forum..?

went polyclinic to see doc regarding my flat foot and he said that he dunno of any case that flat foot can be downgrade and initially refuse to give me a referal letter to specialist saying that they also cant do much except that they will only give me insole which is not useful to me but in the end he gave it to me. however my appointment is on 12/01/07 at TTS hospital. i need to settle this in 1-2 wks time. is there any other faster way to get to a specialist? do SAF take a private specialist recommendation into consideration?
any MO here that can give me any advice? coz the pain is somehow getting worse. -
anyone knoe when the next NSF intake for tekong?????

If u are really excused, u will be given the MC clearing stating ur status, just show that to ur immediate officer and thats it. Most officers that I come across will just follow the MO's MC, those kiasu kiasi will double check with the Medical centre just to be sure but most will not ask u to do since u are already excused.Originally posted by xxthunder:this is not a silly question.is the status and excuse granted permanently on medical board really permanently?

But leh, I have to agree with Oxford, deployment depends on ur L rating on ur PES, so lets say a clerk is C9L1, although excuse firearms, he still can be ask to go to field and do sai gang because his L rating is L1. Why I know? Because my unit last time like this, clerks also go out field to go sai gang.
(You can go to page 1 and check on Gordonators posting on L deployment).
