Hi all
I am currently serving PTP in Tekong. I failed NAPFA test and
thus am enlisted into PTP. I think i have aquaphobia. I must take
swimming lessons during the training. However, I have a serious
problem. I always feel very stressed and depressed before and after
the swimming lessons. During the lessons, I was singled out to
receive special lessons by the physical training instructor. No
matter how he tried for 8 lessons already, I was still scared and
dont dare to lift my legs off the swimming pool's floor. Is there
any way i can get excused from water activities? Or can i get down
PES? Should i consult a private psychiatrist first and then pass
the memo to my MO?
Pls advice and thanks.
Ok firstly If you have serious fear of water, you can be
excused swimming with specilaist proof.
You have to get a letter from
private/government psychiatrist and endorse it at CMPB.
But ur PES is still B with excused swimming only.
Like If you have severe fear of jungle, you can be
permanently excused from jungle terrain.
