Pre-enlistment Medical Screening
Prior to enlistment, all pre-enlistees have to undergo a thorough
medical examination at the Medical Classification Centre (MCC)
within the Central Manpower Base (CMPB). This examination allows
the medical fitness of a pre-enlistee to be assessed and this
subsequently determines his Physical Employment Status (PES).
Medical Screening Appointment Preparations
As part of the e-documentation, you are also required to select
your preferred medical appointment date as well as to complete the
medical questionnaire (e7F). You will need to go through the
medical questionnaire form with your parents / guardian so that
useful medical information about you is captured.
To ensure that your medical experience with us is pleasant and that
the overall screening process is not unnecessarily delayed, we have
compiled a checklist for you:
Clinical Examinations
The medical screening process takes on average 150 minutes to
complete and there is a series of test that you will have to
undertake.
Registration Station
At MCC Registration Counter, you will be required to submit your
e7F. As a form of verification, you will be asked for your NRIC or
any form of photo identification (e.g. driving license, school
pass.)
Clinical Laboratory Station
At the Clinical Laboratory Station blood samples are drawn for
G6PD, haemoglobin and blood group typing tests. Simple urine tests
to detect the presence of blood, protein and glucose (sugar) will
also be carried out for you at the Station.
Dental Station
At the Dental Station, the Dental Officer will carry out an oral
examination and Dental Charting. A Dental X-ray or
Orthopantomography (OPG) will also be conducted.

lungs.

abnormalities and test your visual and refractive error.

height, weight and blood pressure measurements. An

Room.
After completion of all the clinical investigations and
measurements, you will then be examined and evaluated by a Medical
officer.
Station 6 Counter (Post Clinical Screening)
Once you have completed the above series of medical screening, you

Oh I see.
To wear loose outfit to facilitate full body/ health medical examination checkup.
So as to strip down to underwear for full body medical checkup examination.
The MO has to look at the scrotum and then you cough a bit to observe/ check for a medical condition called hernia.

actually, it is for the MO to look at the scrotum and then you cough a bit to observe/ check for a medical condition called hernia.
Medical doctors will go through the checkup stations to check you from head to toe to classify what your PES is.
Don't think too much.
Then wear clothes and go home.
