Suffering from Lumbar Spine Spondylolitis (think that's how it's spelt), and Asthma, what possible Pes status would I get?

Have a memo for my lumbar spine condition and was previously hospitalised 8 times over the past 6 years for the condition.

Thanks in advance.

Supported with a hospital specialist memo, it's within PES C range.

Anxiously Confused SG

Dear All,

Bear with me with my history before my questions.

I am an NS man. I have recently being downgraded to PES E9L9 perm after
Medical Board because of a psychiatric issue that will go worse when in a
military environment. Previously my vocation is clerk in an active NS unit & a
Detachment 2IC during Recall Manning. I would like to ask:

a) Would I still be call back for ICT & Recall Manning?
b) Would I be posted out? How long & how will I be notified?
c) Would they consider my condition for my posting?
d) Got a ICT callup yesterday for 16 days on Oct @ Sungei Gedong Camp,
anyone knows what's that about? My usual ICT is @ Khatib camp.
e) Is my PES status automatically grant me a stayout & excuse firearms due to
my condition?

Anyone can provide answers to the above questions will be appreciated. Many
thanks.

PES E no need handle firearms in my opinion.

You can voice out if they asked you to handle firearms.

You cannot stay out unless excused stay in permanently.

You should get your psychiatrist to write a detailed strongly worded letter to let you stay out permanently due to psychiatric condition.

Hi, im currently Temp PES E9L9. What happened was that the initial CPMB check up said my heart got prob, further NUH check up said there's no prob. But by the time, I'm already posted to Kranji Camp 3 at start of April this year.

My Captain told me that i should wait until the end of this 1-month BMT, go to my new unit, and chiong the MO there, which would be faster as compared chionging CPMB now, and possibly get into the July batch BMT.

Q1) I wana make sure that if i successfully up my PES and get to the july batch, will i finally be able to go to Tekong just like everyone else, with 19months of service remaining. Or it's possible for other bullsh*t to happen? Cannot take it liao....

Q2) What's the minimum PES status one must have to be able to go for OCS or whatever other leadership stuff.

abcxy SG

I'm an Int Spec who is temp c2l2.

Would i be revocated if i'm up pes-ed?

Thank you

This is an administrative issue, not a medical issue from the medical centre.

You should check this with the unit S1 Manpower branch instead.

eac SG

a) Dependable on NS unit since clerks are needed for the NS unit to function and to be operational, the same as during NSF time.
b) Dependable on NS unit's S1 Manpower branch since it's an administrative issue. Contact unit @ 1800-3676767 on www.ns.sg
c) Yes, provided you take the initiative to call them and "fight" to put forward your case.
d) Dependable on NS unit's ICT workplan for the workyear. e.g. ATEC.
e) Dependable on NS unit. PES E clerks and storemen usually stay in if required by the NS unit's CO.

Hence, the best, direct and official answers should be forwarded to your NS unit instead. If not sure, just pick up the phone and call them @ 1800-3676767.

eac SG

Q2) What's the minimum PES status one must have to be able to go for OCS or whatever other leadership stuff.

Since the CPT has given his answer, you should heed it.
Just wait since it's "rush to wait, wait to rush".

Hey, can I just ask if it's possible for me to downgrade if I have De Quervain Syndrome and CMCJ ligament tear on my hand?

Just did an operation and my hand is still feeling weak 3 months after the operation itself.

Yes.
Most probably is PES B2 with excuse wrist, upper limbs activities such as push ups, chin ups and maybe also, firing range.

Is this PES going to be permanent then?

Is this PES going to be permanent then?

It's depend on what's and how's written in the hospital memos/ reports for submission to the Medical Board.

Hi guys,

I have a question that needs answering very urgently.

I've just returned from an overseas exercise to find out that i've been posted out from my unit. I was a clerk, now I'm becoming an ST. Thing is, I've been living with a stress fractured on my right metatarsal (2nd toe) and now I'm feeling the same type of sharp pain on my left big toe after many games of soccer. My PES was initially C2L9. Now it's been upgraded to B1L2, cos I've been medically boarded for my chronic lower back pain.

This sounds like an awful lot of excuses, but they're there for a reason and I've never meant to chao keng. Ex heavy load, sit-ups, RMJ and stay-in.

Since the ST course is combat in nature, will my existing excuses prevent me from going? Also, my S1 is trying to keep me from posting out too as he needs us around for high-key events coming up within the unit.

Question: Will the MO be able to block the posting or does my S1 have any say in this?

This is an administrative issue in manpower, not a medical issue in the medical centre.

So in the end, you should check this with the unit S1 Manpower branch instead.

The Medical Board can only recommend a revocation, the final revocation decision is definitely up to the S1 Manpower Branch. If not, what's the S1 branch for?

Hi all, would appreciate any help or recommendation given.

I have been experiencing chronic ankle pain over the last 3+ years. Did an ankle endoscopy surgery during NS before. The pain cleared for a while and set in again. Did a MRI and ortho specialist wrote a memo indicating "chronic ankle pain" and "subcortical bone bruising of the talar bone". He also wrote "please excuse him from IPPT and revise to downgrade him". I also found out recently via blood test that I've thalassemia minor.

Any chances of going below my present PES B? Any guys here have the same case? Thanks in advance.

As mentioned before and many times, take that specialist memo and submit it for a PES review.

sorry for leaving out some details. this is my 2nd post but i've read that page many times and i've already booked my pes review session for next week. i'm going to see my ortho specialist this week 1 last time so i'm just wondering if the memo given is strong enough? if not, should i try to request for a more strongly-worded memo?

thanks for any help/advice.
