hi guys, im 18 this yr currently in yr 2 JC.
i haven't taken my napfa yet, as the schduled napfa period in my school was during my A div competition period, so i totally missed the test. However, my school mentioned that they will schedule another napfa test sometime in august for those who failed/haven't taken the test. im taking it in august.
is sweaty palms considered a 'medical condition' ? Will it affect PES status?
thx all.
as mentioned above, PES is medical fitness, NAPFA/ IPPT is physical fitness.
both are different aspects.
e.g. you can have a very fit solid taut body (physical), but any of your internal organs/ immune system can be weak (medical).
on medical checkup day, just bring any medical reports/ doctor memos will do.
sweaty palms (hyperhidrosis) is still a combat-fit PES B, with excuse hand grenade throwing.
a NAPFA silver/gold (applied to PES A/B only) will only give you a 2 months fitness cut, meaning you will have a reduction in NS time from 24 months to 22 months only. that's all it will do.
those 2 months = 6 weeks PE training, 2 weeks shaved-head holiday then rejoin BMT coy.
sweaty palm still combat fit.
excuse grenade only.
no big deal la
Seriously I don't know how many times I seen people asking abt sweaty palm liao. It's PES B......grenade? I thought they were given gloves now.

Ok, maybe C get excuse grenade, but what for, most people only get once in a lifetime to throw a real grenade.

He is PES C for another medical problem not sweaty palms but due to sweaty palms excused grenade throw.
I completed my NS without firing a bullet, never throw grenade, never do IPPT, I din regret.
