need advice on PES status
-
basically i juz received my medical check up letter n going to enlist soon. should i try n keng for lower PES status? i do have previous medical problems. so far from what i have seen is to keng, serve n F O. Or should i do my best n serve the country? like trying to get into OCS n such.
main point is, is it worth it going all the way out for SAF?
oh n one more thing for the NAFA test, should i go all way out and try and get a gold or juz a silver will do? -
Don't keng la. Keng and you kena clerk fun meh? Next time when you come out to work...all the male colleagues talk about their army life then you will be left out... NSF is a once in a lifetime...just experience it and f. off... think positively okay!Originally posted by l0st-s0ul:basically i juz received my medical check up letter n going to enlist soon. should i try n keng for lower PES status? i do have previous medical problems. so far from what i have seen is to keng, serve n F O.

yeah man, what u said has a point. if i have past medical records(quite serious), but now i am totally fine, 100% okay. should i tell the MO about the records? and wheter i tell or dont tell how will if affect my PES status?

serve singapore la...
-.- dun keng...
i hate people who keng...

better to tell the MO, rather than keep slient about it. otherwise, later when things happen, they said you did not highlight your medical history to the MO.

Tell MO about your medical history.
If you gonna be downgrade, let it be. If not, you will have an enjoyable but tough NS life ahead.
In life, there is some course which we can't avoid. Let fate takes its course. -
No need to be afraid of military service.
For that matter, no need to try to beat the system wholescale either, at the risk of backfiring.
There's a variety of service vocations available if you don't get combat-graded. But imagine kena condemned status, & end up with an actual appointment that adds an added dimension (loneliness) to an already-subservient vocation - eg. storeman in a way-ulu base who must wait for soldiers to drive in at 5 am or 2 am to draw/return ammo respectively.
Also, some prospective civilian employers may view your PES classification prejudicedly down the line, regardless of how you attempt to clarify your actual fitness.
I understand MO's are now less unsympathetic about lowering medical grades than before anyway. -
Hi, our MOs r intelligent enough to know whether u'r trying to chao geng or not.
Besides most medical conditions r not downgradable unless they're very serious.
So all the best to u. -
