Another question. I've some serious family issues and problems so I'm going to request to Warrant Ger if I could be posted somewhere near home, be it stay in or out because if something happens at home I can just rush back immediately. I stay in Simei so I was thinking the only places with medical centre is bedok camp right? Does the changi air bases have medical centers and can service medics be posted there?? If there isn't then I think i'll request tekong since it's near too...

Camp in the East, Changi Air Base, Selarang, Pasir Ris, Tekong, Hendon, Bedok....I think that's abt it. I not sure abt the rest as they are army medical centres and I think most likely they are stay in one but CAB is stay out but got lot of duties.

this sounds really sissy but thats really my weakness, really hope if anybody who has gone through similar exp or went medic school can give me some advice on what i can do. thanks so much
Practised made perfect for IV. As for your veins not very visible, it's the problem of your buddy, but if he can get the IV right, it'll made him a better medic.
