  Not serious as in it's uncomfortable when you're exposed to sunlight, right?

  I'm also a PES B with eczema. It was ok during BMT but during my time at battalion it's not so good. Perhaps it's the greater stress at battalion that causes it to get worse. Once it got so bad that the MO gave me excuse uniform two weeks and excuse outfield one month.

  Training and where you are posted to will make a difference.
  If it's serious, downgrade then posted to clerk bah.
  If not so serious, status quo or Pes B, non-outfield/chiong suah vocations like medic, combat medic, A/B/C mech, RP/MP etc...
  
  I think...

  Ecezma is an exculsion from Tech Spec vocations.

  Depends how bad it is. If 1/4 your body covered... then pretty certain you won't go to a "siong" combat vocation. Maybe RP or rear echelon medic.

  Medic is a no-go for those with skin related problems.

  Really? I thought ecezma is not considered a very major problem unless it's very bad.

  Cross your fingers and pray for the best if you don't wanna go for a combat unit. But there is always a likelihood you will anyway.
