huhOriginally posted by tarutaru:In another words no downgrade
yes, the thing is tat while being stuck at my unit...and my "platoon", my condition right now......when scheduled Guard Duty...not enough people to replace...so lan lan endure till iOriginally posted by LazerLordz:I got mine.But it was severe flat foot with bone structure probs in my sole.I cannot stand for long too..but it all depends on a case to case basis.There is no "automatic" downgrades.But you could be excused guard duties..that might be possible.
You can go make the in sole for flat footOriginally posted by jonalim:before enlistment and jc time got already......
BMT never do guard duty at all......
aft e route marches..
esp e 24 km one, things turned to a lot worse..
i even fall out for my POP rehearsal...coz i cannot endure e standing pain
i told MO before enlistment, and during FFI aft my BMT , they simply take in e acct tat i pass my IPPT and finish my 24km route march without any falling out, which means i can still take it....tat's y pass my FFI and get me into such shit!
exactly...it happened once...i simply fall down but didnt black out during parade... i told my sgts, they simply put it off say i didnt rest enough and not drink enough water...Originally posted by LazerLordz:Severe cases of plantar fasciitis is not to be sneezed at.People have blacked out due to the pain and numbness of the foot on parade before.
A good doctor can make the distinction between severe and mild.And he or she should be clear enough to know if it warrants an immediate downgrade.It may seem small to many now, but if you have read up on this condition, you will realise that prolonged standing will cause more and more deteriotation of your membrane.
Don't play with this condition, it is something that stays with you for life.![]()
Your sgts are not informed about this matter, therefore they might have thought you were malingering.Ignorance is the worst thing a commander can show to his men.I and two other guys fainted on parade before, and after that, my CO came to us and even offered to send us to the medical center on the spot.Originally posted by jonalim:exactly...it happened once...i simply fall down but didnt black out during parade... i told my sgts, they simply put it off say i didnt rest enough and not drink enough water...
shld i go and see a specialist and tell him?
u mean guardsman right?Originally posted by seancannot:my fren last time from commandos downgrade to Guradman due to flat foot pes A to B ... he lanlan....
Don't think so unless u get heat strokeOriginally posted by jonalim:can i get a downgrade for this?
huh? they are so un-related.......wad's ur point?Originally posted by tarutaru:Or should I put it this way u got downgrade most likely is for heat stroke not flat feet
I tink if u got history of heat stroke then u can get downgraded.Originally posted by jonalim:huh? they are so un-related.......wad's ur point?
Strange. My BMT mate had such a history and was affected quite frequently...yet he was PES B.Originally posted by gnoik:I tink if u got history of heat stroke then u can get downgraded.
Flat foot...no no.
i suggest you do downgrade, and change to a service vocation. i was like you initially. during my bmt stages, it was very bad. the pain only stopped after half a year, after i OOTed, loboed around in some units. got into a service vocation and finally managed to rest my feet that i realised it.Originally posted by jonalim:but its affecting my life as a combat nsf very badly..i cannot do prolonged standing, regimental duties such as guard duty , drills etc..
if i dun get a change of voc. ,i am bound to further injure my feet
