Risk Further Worsen of Injury to Enlist As Combat-Fit, Wise?

Asdasdqeqe SG

ok, here's the situation.
initial enlistment on 28/4/10
Wrist fracture with bone moving out of position on 10/1/10
Surgery done on 30/1/10
went to CMPB 4 medical review on 3/2/10
MO gave me future appointment in 3 months time on 5/3/10 and a PES D status thus effectively delaying enlistment...

Is it even necessary to delay the enlistment due to some appointment with the MO in 3 months time? cause i wouldn't wanna delay my studies after ns....anyway to make CMPB change their mind bout this cause or even carry forward the appointment date? i wouldn't mind going back to my original PES B but CMPB told me that i couldn't enlist on 28/4/10 already. really nid advice, thx in advance.

Your health and wellbeing comes first.

Wrist fracture with the bone off position is no small potatoes. Would you want to enlist early under PES B with that kind of injury and risk an even more serious injury?

You may want to call to request for an earlier appointment, but requesting for early enlistment under PES B is out of the question.

so if earlier appointment there will b a chance of not much delay 2 enlistment?

Probably, if the MO decides that your injury is not serious enough.

Then again, whether or not they even want to see you earlier is also their prerogative. Just contact them to ask whether your appointment can be brought forward.

Whatever the case, remember that at the end of the day, the greatest honour is to be able to go home to your momma in one piece. There is no pride in getting yourself even more badly injured by enlisting prematurely.

No one can say. Entirely up to them.

Seriously, just call them up tomorrow morning.
