modified. 
=================================================================
www.mindef.gov.sg/nsmen
Extracted from here:
NSmen must update their NS HRCs
if they should develop any new medical condition or if their
existing medical condition has worsened which might affect their
ability to perform their duties during ICT. Arrangements will then
be made for them to attend a medical review at the SAF medical
centre to assess their fitness for NS.
The NSmen MUST bring along all investigation results and
memorandums from his external physician/specialist during the
medical review. Depending on the outcome of the medical review, the
NSman may be given a medical certificate to defer him from ICT, be
scheduled for a medical board to downgrade him if his medical
condition is significant, or referred to a restructured hospital
for further investigation. In the event that the medical officer
determines that the NSman’s medical condition will not affect his
ability to participate in the ICT, he will allow the NSman to
attend the ICT.

Upgrading Or Downgrading Of
PES
(From Admin
Point Of View)
Downgrade To PES C/D/E (Perm or
Temp)
Downgrade to a certain PES status will mean
that you due to your medical condition you are no longer fit to be
in your current vocation.
This means that you will be re-vocate to a vocation that suits this
PES status.
1.) Re-vocation is done by the SAF and not choosen by the
soldier.
2.) Re-vocation depends on PES grading.
3.) Re-vocation will also mean you can be re-depolyed to another
formation, unit or camp altogether.
Upgrade From PES C/D/E
For: Enlisted as PES E or Temp PES E Status
PES E Upgrade to PES A, B or C will mean a re-vocation. You will be
required to take your BMT in accordance to your PES status (in
Tekong). And subsequent Re-vocate to your new vocation.

This section is applicable to those who downgraded or upgraded to
any of the PES A/B/C

2.) If the person completed but FAILED his BMT then recourse is a
