mc more than 3 days, need to book in 1st n let camp doctor endorse...
3 days or less, just call coy line...
Actually I just came across an email in camp recently stating "the term "Endorsement" has been incorrectly used and misconstrued in the SAF for a long time. It is not in the lexicon of SAF Medical DIrectives. There is no requirement for MC to be endorsed by the medical officer."
It also stated however that MCs more than 3 days long or light duty excuses for more than 14 days long need to be submitted after his return from medical leave to the medical centre. It says this is only meant for the medical centre to update the servicemen's medical record. "The review is not intended to verify the truth/validity of the medical ceritificate issuded by a registered medical practitioner."
I'm wondering if anyone can share any knowledge on this source of information which I have come across.
