Hmm what i mean is normally when you fall sick in BMT, the MO will give you a few days of Attend B and you cannot take part in training which involves the physical side, so i asked my sergeants whether we will be marked as absent for these lessons or would we still be marked as present, however they are also unsure of how the attendance is counted thus i would like to ask if anybody knows

if the training lesson is deemed to be important, you may need to go for make-up lessons. that is inevitable, and is only for your good, due to the underlying policy of progressive training.Originally posted by DeMoN:Hmm what i mean is normally when you fall sick in BMT, the MO will give you a few days of Attend B and you cannot take part in training which involves the physical side, so i asked my sergeants whether we will be marked as absent for these lessons or would we still be marked as present, however they are also unsure of how the attendance is counted thus i would like to ask if anybody knows
however if it's merely lecture or theory lessons, more often than not, you won't need to go through it again.
in the end, the fundamental thought is that one should not miss critical training lessons, or at least not too many of them.
i hope that's what you mean, and that's what matters to you. other than that, attendance is usually not important. -

Hey Doc, a friend of mine wears glasses and he's not due to finish his a-level course till June 'o5(overseas), so can he go for lasics and then enlist in Jan 'o6, cause that's when he's actually due for enlistment, so that he won't be downgraded to PES B/C or something like that? (He wants to go to the army you see..)
Many thanks

You may even ends up as PES A even though you wear glasses (but your condition cannot be too serious)Originally posted by palmerised:Hey Doc, a friend of mine wears glasses and he's not due to finish his a-level course till June 'o5(overseas), so can he go for lasics and then enlist in Jan 'o6, cause that's when he's actually due for enlistment, so that he won't be downgraded to PES B/C or something like that?

Also, unless you want to go to either commando or NDU, there's nothing different if one are downgraded from PES A to PES B -
haha okay.. his degrees are around the 300 < degree < 375 range.. that should be okay yes?
-
Provided that he had no other medical problems, he should be graded PES A.Originally posted by palmerised:haha okay.. his degrees are around the 300 < degree < 375 range.. that should be okay yes? -

i want to ask the MO of SAF why they give MC to those officers n lao jiao regular so easily while those really sick one esp NSF cannot even get MC n keep thinking they chao keng.
-
Haha! Really........ I thought MCs were given out freely to everyone nowadays!
Well nothing is completely fair in this world. If you feel you were wronged, speak to your superiors. Maybe they can help

Take care

Hi MOs!!
i have a question here:
just like to ask how is the ORD FFI carried out?
Is it just a quick check up or a very detailed one , like the one at CMPB?
I heard that MOs might take the chance to upgrade people there (weird rumours)... but anyway is it true? Assuming i am downgraded perm during enlistment..??
Thanks for your answers! -
thanks for the reply. i thought no one would bother.Originally posted by saabster:You seem to have multiple joint aches! One question is that are these problems aggravated with exercise or strenuous activity? Second you were saying you have"occasional gout" in your ankles? How did you come to that conclusion.
first go get a blood test done to establish your uric acid level. Perhaps you would also need to take an Xray of the most problematic joints.
If results are normal, and if your problems seem to be aggravated with activity, your joints are probably painful from overuse. If not, let me know what is wrong
Saabster
i thought of gout because i do have a high protein diet. and i cant remember how my dad's self-diagnosis of gout was confirmed by his doc and i had similar/same symptoms.
as for overuse, i doubt so, i dont excercise much and the pains just come back,,,
not that i am trying to keng my way thru, but despite notifying the staff that i have pains and slightly high pressure in my eyes and the joint probs, i get PES A.
i am not saying i wanna PES E or something but like that also PES A? -
can MO dun tok nonsense?

And the specialist report also state should be excused from swimming and loud noise leh. What pes will i be most likely to get?

I'm no MO but I have friends with similar symptoms.Probably C2L2 and below.But don't take it as a concrete fact.

then what are the things they get excused from with similar symptoms?Originally posted by LazerLordz:I'm no MO but I have friends with similar symptoms.Probably C2L2 and below.But don't take it as a concrete fact. -
not sure if this belongs in this thread.
just curious: during the pre-enlistment checkup, they are asked to cover their mouth and cough (while being naked ya?) - what condition is this test for?
