Questions About Military / Police / Ns - Enlistment / Medical Checkup & Ord Checkup Ffi (Compiled)

[Guest]

The MO will tell you your results when you go back for your review after you did your Dental FFI.

[Guest Guest]

wasnt told the results, that was back in 2008. i was told only if u positive then they tell u

[Zackling]

i just went for my FFI at Jurong camp on 20th Aug & then a 2nd round on 2nd sept due to some issues in my blood. I was told that i had early symptoms of diabetes, but in order for further check up, SAF sent me a sms to report to CGH for further check up in oct. During the FFI, i was told that i had irregular heart beats too, so they are sending me to specialists to check on my heart, my knees also is a problem, ringing tone in my right ear since nsf days.. due to the fact that i dropped out my right ear piece at the rifle range unknowingly till i fire my shots and the ringing went on since then.. so just take it easy bro, not sure, call the hotline & check with ur unit.

[Guest wonderer94]

need to.show kuku bird to doc? will the doc touch the kuku bird?

[Guest Rong]

No...you'll just pull down your pants and he'll take a look. Over in seconds

[Guest wonderer94]

No...you'll just pull down your pants and he'll take a look. Over in seconds

hmm...under what situations will the doc need to physically handle the kuku bird?

[Guest Rong]

Firstly, you should really stop calling your penis that....And I highly doubt there's a need for the doctor to touch it

[GachiMuchi]

hmm...under what situations will the doc need to physically handle the kuku bird?

Agree with member Rong.

 

You are going to become a man, it's better not to talk like a little boy using terms like kuku-bird, I don't friend you, etc.

 

You don't want your army buddies to laugh at you for being a mama's boy. (aka. Aloysius Ching from ABTM)

 

Time to grow up, boy!

[Guest firstimer]

Hey help peeps! I urgently need to know more about Military Medicine Institute as Im having a MA on my psychological issues there tmr. Can you guys tell me more about what's gonna happen there? Would they be able to help me to re-vocate?

[iamcute]

Is there an age limit that one will be exempted from National Service? I have a friend who is turning 25 soon, yet to called up for NS, been seeing the specialist (referred by CMPB) for three years. Due to this, he's unable to further his studies, etc. Tried asking other friends about it, but none seems to know the answer. 

[ben93]

I personally never liked NS. I didn't like to shout at the top of my lungs (which they claimed was important so that you could be heard), so going into NS felt like I couldn't be 'myself' or that they wanted to change your personality. 

 

All it had on me was to make me retreat deeper into my shell and build larger walls around myself. 

 

2 years after NS, I'm now trying to open up again. NS had a profound psychological effect on me which I would rather completely forget.

I think you enter Army with a psychological issue and you are now having what I think is post traumatic Army disorder which need medical professional to look into your condition.

 

Because I can agree with that Army life will change a person, but usually on the positive aspect e.g. building character, develop leadership qualities, etc. I am sure, it is also a transition for many where they will have to grow up to become men, instead of still sucking on thumbs and having their mother or maid do their laundries, and chores fr them, etc. Millions fellow Singaporeans had gone through the same things you had gone through and many had fond memories that they can recount over and over again.

 

If you have had nothing to take away with you after your 2 years in the army which that had benefited or helped you in your current work life or had created a positive impact for you, then sadly you had really wasted the 2 years in there.

 

Which comes back to; what were you like if you were to be yourself?  Introverted? Negative? mama's boy? It seems that you might really have a psychological issue but I doubt it has anything to do with the army life you had gone through.  You might want to go get some counseling and get into the root cause of your issues.

 

Though I am not a psychologist, but I am rather certain, your problem is deeper than you think.  Please get help soon.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[SeannyShortcake]

Hey help peeps! I urgently need to know more about Military Medicine Institute as Im having a MA on my psychological issues there tmr. Can you guys tell me more about what's gonna happen there? Would they be able to help me to re-vocate?

 

MMI is located at Kent Ridge.

 

You'll prolly be referred to the specialists over there,depending on what kind of psychological issues you're having.

 

Yes revocation and other issues like staying out and having no duties extending after standard working hours will be brought up as well.

[Guest Guest123]

So do we still need to pull down our pants?

[Guest Guest]

MO will ask you to stand behind the door and drop your pants, then he will take a look and the say ok pull back up.

[Guest Guest123]

Will the mo say anything if I turn hard?

[EasleyLim]

I find it odd how there can be so many people who don't realize guys can get random boners regardless of their sexual orientation. If you got hard during the examination then the worst thing that can happen is just you being very embarrassed. Just give some lame excuse like you haven't jerk off for a while or something if he asks, which i doubt he would anyway. There's nothing embarrassing when it's all guys there e_e

Edited January 2, 2014 by EasleyLim

[GachiMuchi]

Come on. As if the MO had not seen guys who have a hard on during their examination. I am cock sure that he had seen countless young guys day in and day out from the super fit with 6 pack to the not-so-fit and from small insignificant cock to super huge cocks till he is already immune.

 

Regardless whether you are going to have a hardon or that your dick is only few millimeter, you would still have to drop your undies and show the doctor your cock.

 

He will not touch your cock. Even if he does, it will be with gloves.  He is not looking at your cock, unless there are some kind of growth, etc.

 

He is looking at your 2 testis and to make sure that your testis will rise and fall when you turn your head and cough. He is examining if you have any testicular issues.

Here are Youtube video on various physical examinations and their respective explanations

In my experience, penile check here is very much simplified compared to what is show in the clip posted by GM.

[songiez]

Height, weight, hearing, blood test, heart, teeth, eye, urine, chest x-ray and ya, your kuku hahaha and any additional things that you wrote down on your declaration form

[topLTR_93]

I get dizzy always. I have never passed NAPFA or IPPT cos I will vomit if I over-exert myself during 1.6km (during primary school) and 2.4km. In some cases I have even blacked out.

Blacking out is not fun. It's not like sleeping. You see everything turn monochrome then blur. You won't feel anything. It's more scary than desirable.

I've always thought that maybe this was because I wasn't fit. Or heat exhaustion. I didn't have the money to consult a specialist anyway before enlistment.

I was assigned PES B2L3 because of my lazy eye and thus excused range. I served my time. I learnt a lot from National Service, even though I didn't enjoy it. But while serving, I blacked out in camp after Physical Training, and after all that evacuation, MO consultations,6 months light duty and stuff I was finally referred to the specialist. Long story short, there is something wrong with my blood pressure and circulation. Specialist memo specifically prohibited me from "prolonged standing" and to "squat if I feel giddy". I gave my letter to the MO and he gave me a 84days status. I sucked it up

Finally I was about to ORD. I have never passed IPPT and that cost me my 3SGT rank. I won't ever pass IPPT unless I train so hard to the brink of death. I don't want to attend RT or IPT for the rest of my working and uni life. I threw in my memo again during the ORD medical clearance. And the reply was ... "It's not severe enough to warrant a downPES"

I'm at my wits end. What should I do? Are there medical officers during NSman IPPT /RT/IPT? Are all medical officers that anal (cos my friend just downgraded to PES C2 cos of mere colour blindness -.-)? My PES is just a notch above C2. Are they that asshole?!

Sorry needed to get this out.

Hi! 

Okay here's the thing, I have OCD and Bulimia but it's not really diagnosed by a doctor. I roughly mentioned once to my parents about my OCD but didn't go into detail about it because I'm embarrassed about it. Basically for me OCD I would tend to do thing in counts of five until I feel like it's been done right and some other stuff.

 

For bulimia no one really knows about it, my two best friend knew I had it in 2012 but both of them thinks I've stopped already but the truth is I never did. I don't know if it's still considered bulimia, nowadays I try to avoid rice and carbs at all cost and whenever I do eat it I would go throw it up at the toilet and also at times when I'm feel full. (I do it about once a day on average) 

 

So the thing is my medical checkup for NS is coming up and I would really like to bring this up with the doctor, but is it possible for the doctor to keep it a secret and not inform my parents and family about it?

 

So sorry for asking about it here, I have no idea where else to turn to. 

 

PS: I know throwing up food after you eat is dangerous but I can't help it and I am trying to recover from it but it'll probably take some time.

Hey buddy , no worry. A piece of advice for ya.

1) I think it's better to face the problems with your family then to deal with it alone by yourself.

2) you don't have to be shy or embarrass about it. Cause you are who you are, nothing can change you. Only you know best of who you are. And there is nothing to be embarrass about cheer up.

3) I understand your illnesses, your illness are minor problem that can be cured. What you can do is to order small portion of food but take it in multiple intervals. Meaning to say eat more times but lessor food. This way it reduces the trigger of throwing up after consuming food

I hope all this advice helps you

[Guest Guest111]

For CMPB check up, there will be checking of the dick?

[GachiMuchi]

They just want to make sure you have a cock and not something else.

[Guest Water]

Guys, so here's the thing;

I'm ording in march, and though it's less than a year away, it seems like an eternity.

Dont really like the vocation scope and spec that I am in right now, and also dont really have good people to work with.

Hence I wanted to change vocation but I don't know how... ( I asked and they say need a memo, which I can't really get from the doctor )

Here are the next few reasons that I wanna change too:

Shift work distorted my body clock ( hence lethargic most of the time. )

Back and neck and knee pain.

Introvert ( my vocation needs to talk to people )

Pressure and stress...(I feel it rising every passing day)

With all of these issues, it is too affecting my appetite and mood; becoming more temperamental and irritated easily.

Hope you guys can help out or advice me.

Many many thanks and hugs

Sweetie, none of those are serious enough to warrant a change. So unless you start self-harming (not that i recommend you do that) the chances of you changing vocation is close to zilch.

What is the depth of ur lazy eye?? 

 

200? or below??

 

for slight degree, u should still be stuck under B2 but if your degree is deep like mind u should be down to PES E as a clerk.

so i guess ur degree is low and u can still see quite well thus they dont down u 

[Guest likaBLUR]

Hi guys. Will be enlisting next week but i havent got a clue on what to bring in on the first day.

Clothes? Toiletries? Etc?

Please advice. Thank you.(:

[RyanH]

Toilet rolls. Febreeze. Hangers. Enough underwear to wear unless u wish to wash and dry daily. Toothbrush toothpaste. Shampoo, body foam. Portable phone batt charger. Some snacks/sweets. Bring ur own lock if u dont like theirs. Handiplasts. Card games like uno to bond.

[Guest sportsathletic]

Wait... are you enlisting to Tekong or HTA?

Just follow the list of items on the piece of paper that they gave when they mailed you the letter.

[Guest likaBLUR]

Mine didnt come with a list though. Or at least i didnt see any.

[Guest Bananadrama]

Mine didnt come with a list though. Or at least i didnt see any.

Treat it like you're going holiday in Maldives with a group of gay friends. Bring: Mobile phone, tidbits, playing cards, condoms, lubs, money, sexy underwear, sexy swimming trunk, suntan lotion, straw hat, colourful T short and bermuda, hair brush, hair gel, men's makeup.

[Guest Jeromie]

Hi. 

 

I am currently temp pes E9L9, going to ORD soon, early next year. What will happen to me after I ORD? 

 

1. Will I up pes back to my original pes after I ORD? Then get a new vocation for my reservist? 

 

2. If I am to up pes back, for my reservist, can i try to down pes permanently? Because my leg still hurt currently but the doctor insist that it will recover, just a matter of time. How do I ask to down pes permanently?

 

 

Thanks for reading. I really need some good advise.
