photo_seeker SG I’m now turning 17 and just came out from my operation to remove part of intestine due to bleeding. Going to take Sec 4 next year and Poly after that. I’m wondering how will my NS life be like?
vulpes macrotis mutica SG follow-up specialist appointment keep saying pain pain pain, then after that complain everything relevant to your problem all the way until you get discharged. then get a specialist letter, throw at MO during medical checkup and say feel very weak, all sort of problems... DOWNGRADE!
Ponders SG When you are about to enlist then say lah. It looks like going to be 3-4 years away anyway. But what ever documents you have about this operation.. KEEP it well. just in case you need to downgrade in future.
octega SG If u haben go for the CMPB check up, bring up the matter to the Medical Officer when you see them. Dun need to be scare of them, you are just stating what is the truth so they cannot say you chow keng.
photo_seeker SG If I were to tell my surgeon that I'm in pain, I will definately need to stay for another week in hospital ! That's not going to work for me.
photo_seeker SG I haven't receive the letter. But was told that all boys above 17 will receive their enlistment letter. Is it true?
coffeeortea SG lol, the more weak you make yourself sound.. maybe the more they willing to get rid of you.. and put you on the frontline.. LOL.. first to die.
Ponders SG If the surgery will affect you in a permanent way... YES. you may have a case to downgrade. So if you think it will affect you permanently, you will need to ask your doctor now to write whatever letters possible. This will help establish your case in future.
photo_seeker SG I'm not sure how permanent it is because I've people who underwent surgery of the intestine and years later, after jogging, their intestine got twisted and require surgery again.
donchoo SG 17 and half. Not 17, my friends who just turned 17 and half all received their letters and deferred already. Mines in a few months time around june since im december baby. You'll get your letter soon, of all the things, this one mindef very ON THE DOT.
photo_seeker SG My Birthday is in May, so I'll receive it in Dec ? By then, I won't be seeing my surgeon or specialist anymore.
photo_seeker SG Don't mind me asking what type of surgery was it and what's the downgrading like? Cause I don't want to be short-changed nor ended up seen as trying to be funny.
Fatum SG what do you want from your NS life ? .... are you gunning to be a lobo .... or you want to be a garang chap ? ...
photo_seeker SG Most likely will be joining back my current Secondary School which is government school.
photo_seeker SG I might recover from the bleeding, but is my body going to be fit ? Thus I hope people who have underwent surgery of the intestine to share.
