"Hello people, I would like to share my PES F story. Before I
start, here is to the people who say people who chao keng are
pussies, hum ji, ball-less, etc. Not everyone is suited for the
military. Not everyone is made for getting shouted at by sadistic
superiors. For my case, I decided that NS pay of $480 was not going
to cover my housing rent, my car installment, my food and my other
expenses. I was not going to give up my freedom for a national
duty. Here is my story. I enlisted directly into HRI as PES E9L9
due to 'depression' (as diagnosed by IMH). I first started going to
IMH a year before enlistment to build up a case to get a down pes.
True enough, I got downgraded to E9L9 from A. As I only have a
private diploma and O levels, being PES A will definitely make me a
chiong sua man. To me, my business and career is more important
than NS. We can leave the NS to those who aim just to be a mediocre
person in life. On the day of enlistment, I knew I had to shave my
head. Thus I managed to get a memo from the IMH psychiatrist to
request an excuse from cutting hair. A bald head would just make
taking MCs from hospitals harder. Despite the memo, the commanders
were adamant about cutting hair. I then acted up, curled into a
ball, clutched my head and start sobbing as loud as I could.
Immediately, the OC told me it will be fine and asked me to get it
cut myself outside. He then asked me to go see my doctor and I went
to IMH. I only spent 1 hour in camp throughout my entire NS life.
After walking out of the camp, I immediately went to IMH a&e
department and got myself a 4 day MC. As the 4 day MC came to an
end, I realized I could not go back to camp as I could not leave my
work (that would result in me having no money). I then started a
spree of MCs from hospital A&Es and polyclinics. These ranged
from 1-5 day MCs. Although there is a directive that MCs more than
3 days must be endorsed, I just said I was too sick to leave the
house and there was nothing they could do. I believe, somewhere
along the line, they instructed hospitals to stop giving me MCs as
the MCs started to dwindle to 1 day in duration. I then began to
impersonate officers, pilots and even had friends dress up as my
superiors wheel me in on wheelchairs to the A&E. Let's just say
luckily the hospitals can't verify this. About a month into the MC
spree, they had sent MPs to my house multiple times and claimed I
wasn't home (I was at work obviously). Some bastard officer then
threatened to charge me for not being at home when on MC. I
immediately replied and yelled at him in a maniac voice that I was
indeed at home and had just taken sleeping pills issued by the
doctor. Why am I not allowed to rest when on MC? Need I be awake
just for their stupid house visits?. I then threatened to go see my
MP and talk to the press about them harassing me when I was trying
to rest and this young punk officer immediately backed off. The
finale and PES F came when one day, they tried to get the police to
breach my door down while I was on MC. Luckily I was at home and
opened the door to the surprise of the police officers. I then
conveyed my intent that I was sick and wanted to rest without being
disturbed. They then left without protest. Knowing that they would
soon do more unscrupulous things, I checked myself into IMH for a 2
day resort stay fully paid for by our dear Mindef. The psychiatrist
then asked if I would like to continue NS and I replied that I do
not want to see people in army uniform as I wish to kill them.
Immediately upon my discharge, they scheduled me to see an SAF
psychiatrist and he gave me the most Honourable award the SAF can
issue, a PES F as well as a 2 month MC to cover me from returning
to camp while the PES F processes. Two weeks later, a call from my
camp informed me that my IC could be collected back. I went down,
took my IC and walked out a free man, free of any reservist
obligations, duty to obtain exit permits. I was and am elated. In
total, I was enlisted for a total of one month and two weeks, out
of which, I spent only an hour in camp. On average, I spend one
hour for each day MC making me effectively serve NS for one hour
per day. Given the monthly allowance of $480 and given that I spend
5 hours a week taking MC, I am roughly paid $24 per hour to take
MCs, making me the highest paid NSFs in service. So to all PES F
hopefuls, I want to encourage you to take this path. It is a path
more exclusive than OCS, as only a select few can actually attain
this highest honour. Don't be fooled by what some people say about
PES F people being unable to be hired. The world is your oyster.
Even if no one wants to hire you (very unlikely as people in the
private sector don't give a fuck about NS and would be happier if
you had no NS obligations), start a business or carve your own
career. Don't let the negativity of people who verbally abuse 'chao
kengsters' affect you. Majority of this people have the 'just suck
it up attitude' and are happy with a mediocre life. I'm not and I
am sure you are not. I want to excel and succeed and challenge the
impossible. They said it was impossible to PES F and avoid hair
cuts, but I did it nonetheless. So go out and get your PES F and
let the world see. Sincerely, A PES F-ed Recruit.
