Hi all,

So do I still need specialist letter for lazy eye and flat foot?

And for my OCD, I have been instructed by doctor to not put stress in my life, because stress can magnify my symptoms. Also, I have many different obsessions, including cleaning, counting, superstition and aggressiveness. I think I may have some anxiety issues, which I will bring up again in greater detail on my next appt with my psychiatrist. I have actually mentioned my anxiety issues with my psychologist before, but only just talked abit about it. I tend to get anxious easily and this makes me less capable than normal, and my hands tremble frequently. I have done thyroid test and other test for trembling hands and body but show nothing. I think it is because of my anxiety/anxiousness? When I get anxiety attacks, I get paralyzed with fear, as in I just freeze and not do anything with a blank mind.

I think at most my specialist might just write something like just declaring I have and been diagnosed with OCD, and on regular medication. I don't think he will write any special "strong worded" letter?

If you want, get memos.

If you don't want, then don't get memos.

Very simple. The choice is up to you, whatever suits you fine.

Since I have already given my advice, now it's your turn to decide.

Hi all,

I would like some advice on my situation.

I'm going for my medical check up soon, and i wonder if my condition would lead me to a pes E or even pes F.

I went through a brain tumor surgery about 2 years ago and the tumor was not completely removed. If it was completely removed, i will be blind as it is on my optic nerve. when i see things there will still be a bright spot in one of my eye preventing me to see properly. this also resulted in me losing my sense of smell.

the medicine that i took made me have a history of seizures and my skin is allergic to dust and dirty enviroments, i have very sensitive skin, if dirty enviroments, i will have breakouts on my face. And also, i am very careless and sprain my ankles a few times, always the left leg. sigh.

Is any one here able to give me a vague idea of which pes i'll probably end up in?

thanks alot!

Hi,

I'm currently a SAF reservist. The Medical Board has given me Excuse ICT till June 2011.

I initially thought it was clear cut. But unfortunately no. For 3 months, I applied for deferment, but was rejected by the CO. Now he is playing hide-and-seek with the HQ, refusing to reply to their emails.

My ICT is coming up Jan, what should I do ?

Thanks!

tarutaru SG

Call your unit reservist clerk, show them your excuse.....if not, go see camp MO and ask MO talk to CO.

Lokey SG

Do you applied your deferment online? Then attached with your document in the email or faxed. And corresponding received a received sent notification. I suspected that your CO may not received your supporting document in the first place.

Hi,

I have done all the neccessary. I have apply and re-apply many times. I have email my doctor's recommendation, the saf medical board's recommendation, my doctor's follow up recommendation etc. I have applied thru the system, thru the clerk, thru my OC etc. The CO is just being difficult.

Thank You.

Hi,

Camp MO sent me for boarding for dwngrade when I went for review on 19th Oct 2010. No news till now. Does this mean it was not successful and I need to arrange for another review?

Thanks

instead of sitting there like a waiting duck, you might as well pick up the phone and call your unit clerk to check... either thru the unit direct phone number or thru the general enquiry hotline of 1800 3676767

LazyEye SG

eac, i got a question.
Im currently in service of 8months and my current pes is B1 due to back problem. aches. (minor one only aches, maybe thats why the cmpb give me B1)
I have not declared my lazy eye yet. Left eye 500 right eye 50. I have specialist memo already. I would like to know if i can use my lazy eye to down pes? and if down pes, what pes?
I'd like to think first before i act. Thanks.

U lazy eye cmpb eye checkup gt measure ur degree wad. They should have put ur specs in a machine to measure the degree. I 450 degree to 500 degree both eye.

U never declare they also know u gt lazy eye one side 500 one side 50.

I think ur case cant downpes leh. U can try declaring and asking MO though.

Pure Emptiness SG

But from wad I heard lazy eye can downpes but the difference between 2 eye i dunno need how much degree differences.

Army PES bible only MO know how to grade.

LazyEye SG

I also dont know how i pass cmpb eye test one. I guessed the line of letters correctly by little memory. My right eye is 50 degree only so i can see before they test my lazy eye. So in fact i bluff through la lol. The cmpb MO eye doctor not there when i go, the medics didnt put my specs to the machine, only ask me read, fail to find out i got lazy eye too.
Now dam regret and want to consider down pes liao.

Aiya but nevermind, its past. Now i want to know can down pes anot? and down to what pes only.

eac SG

Aiya but nevermind, its past. Now i want to know can down pes anot? and down to what pes only.

Since PES is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PULHHEEMS, you can be within PES C range.

In addition, if your backache is due to spinal problem such as degenerative disc disease/ prolapsed intervertebral disc (slipped disc) and also when supported with a specialist memo, you can also be within PES C range, but for this at the least minimum is PES C2.

Pure Emptiness SG

Aiya but nevermind, its past. Now i want to know can down pes anot? and down to what pes only.

Oh they gt put my specs into machine cos I dunno my degree.

Yes lazy eye depending on severity can be PES C or E I think. E is very big difference.

U better declare ur lazy eye,who knows maybe can downpes.

Anyone know astigmatism wad degree can downpes?

Hi,

I'm just wondering. I'm OOT from BMT and my batch is POPing soon. When they POP I will no longer be part of my company, and instead will be part of the BMTC HQ until they can post me to another vocation. But, I'm still awaiting my specialist review by the SAF. Am I right in saying that they cannot apply for my vocation until I am reviewd by both the SAF Specialist AND the medical board? And only when I recieve my new PES status can they give me a vocation? Or is there another way to it?
