PES Code: If Forced to Do Things Beyond, Complain to Who?
-
Hi All,
I'm recently got downgraded to PES C2L3 due to degenerated spinal disc. Currently in an combat unit. I'm permanent excuse heavy load.My unit will be having a 5D4N outfield exercise at the end of the month and my 3SG told me that despite my PES, I still have to go help as I'm helping out with stores now.
Do I need to go for the military outfield exercise in spite of my PES?I understand L3 means "Able to bear firearms and operate in a field environment. Can be deployed in Combat Support vocations of Brigade HQ and above, and/or Combat Service Support Vocations at all echelons."If my PC/ OC insist, should i go to the MO to get MC?Who can I complain to? -

personal or work/training related problems. Servicemen who are experiencing
difficulties can seek help through the avenues described below.
Commander interviews of all recruits are conducted within 48 hours of enlistment into full-time NS. Regular interviews are subsequently conducted on a monthly basis during the PTP/BMT phase. Special interviews are also granted upon request. Servicemen can highlight their difficulties during these interviews for assistance.
Orientation Officers identify, assist and counsel BMT recruits with adjustment
and/or other personal problems.
