any of u guys here suffered injury in the army before?
-
can be NSF during NS time, or NSmen during ICT
means u suffered a moderate to severe injury, like slip disk, twisted ankle, broken bones, deep cut leading to scar, injured knee, dislocated shoulder.... whereby the injury has caused u to be downgraded or MC for quite some time.
and also due to the injury, it has caused some permanent damage, eg. like ur slip-disk spine hurts every now n then, or ur ankle injury prevents u from doing certain sports without feeling pain, or ur joints become weaken, or theres a permanent scar on ur shoulder...etc
elaborate about it then...
and therefore, guys, do u feel hatred to the army for causing u to be in such a state? eg. u were a healthy person who is active in sports before enlistment, but now, u can only do light exercises.... or the injury have left u a scar on ur arm.... or u have trauma due to the accident...etc
do u blame anyone for ur injury?
how do u vent ur hatred n frustration? -
ever since the media started reporting on NS related casulties, there's been a seemingly endless stream of deaths in the army.Originally posted by Stooky:can be NSF during NS time, or NSmen during ICT

Now when i look at the papers.. its like "not again.."
previously it was a sense of shock.. now its like normal to have a servicemen die once in awhile.
if that can happen so often, what more injuries?
the army better do smt abt it. -
had a deep cut on my thumb resulting 8 stiches now resulting a deep scar and some difficulties holding chopsticks.
Had a bad injury to right ankle.. sometimes having nightmare havig the ankle twisted again.
Don really blame SAF or anyone...
just take it easy lor. -
As soldiers this kind of injuries are bound to happen...as for deaths maybe it is all about fate...
-
Twisted ankle - twice.
Collapsed arches in both feet leading to flat feet - my MO said it had something to do with my carrying of heavy loads, but somehow, I'm taking what he said with a pinch of salt. -
If any of you guys get injuried during training, pls go and fill out a injury report. ASAP.
Its a hassle but its the only way to prove you injured yourself during training... and this will be in your records.
This will help in claiming medical support from the SAF.
Don't go bitch and moan if you didn't bother to get one done and after that try to claim for reimbursement/compensation.
Deaths and injuries during training are a tragedy... but shit happens... so please take care of yourself and remember to look out for your buddies too. -
Shouldn't we attribute these injuries to the softer soldiers of these days.
back then when i was serving the nation, the training was hard and eveyone was extremely fit, we dont hear of such injuries unless those "chao-kengs". -
Well, there are lots of guys who had injuries during NS and when they ORDed hey presto, no more injury, fit as a fiddle.
-
Yeah,once they get back their pink IC,suddenly the most severe injury will heal by itself...Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Well, there are lots of guys who had injuries during NS and when they ORDed hey presto, no more injury, fit as a fiddle.
Miracle sia...
-
dislocated shoulders .... more than once ..... -
currently on mc for massive stress fractures to both my legs and a possible knee meniscus tear.Suffered during training.
I'm fine with it. Nothing much, shit happens besides we're in the army and things like this happens. -
Me got slip disc during training.....Wanted to file a injury report but no one wants to help me.........my friend injuried during trainig and file a injury report........file until now ORD liao still nothing.........they say they lost his report...........
-

-

-
always remember to take care of yourself in NS to avoid unnecessary injuries. Well but of cos shit happened then you very sway.
-
piles considered injury or not?
i had it during bmt...bleeding like hell when sh|tting...virtually cannot do any PT due to pain.
Was ATTB for 2 weeks, almost OOC -
i guess u r one of those who think u r pretty tough, therefore please enlighten all of us wat your vocation was.Originally posted by Deportivo:Shouldn't we attribute these injuries to the softer soldiers of these days.

also note that most deaths are from Hendon Camp. commandos push themselves to their limit and beyond, always thinking that "impossible is nothing". once in a while, somebody drops.
have u ever jumped? rapelled? dived?
wat u said insults and dishonours those who died during training.
your nonsensical pure tekan training was NOT operational training. how can pushups, crunches, or watever nonsense specialists of your day can come up with, compare to operational training?
if u r talking about the rations in your field camp sux compared to the rations now, fine, u win. but that is only because none of us "young weaklings" tasted wat u "old but tough guys" ate.
in addition, have u ever considered the possibility that u r not omni present, that u will instantly 'know' who is injured at wat time? r u saying that no soldiers are being injured at this very moment just because no one hears about it? if that were true, gimme me 4 numbers.
last but not least, please remember that everyone is a human being. hard or soft, or watever, there is a limit. and, the army is so TSR these days they wont get anyone to do any strenuous activities before he receives sufficient conditioning.
soft soldiers. -
