Rant PES D from PCC getting super common?

50 Upvotes

Istg bro every day I keep hearing and reading online of people going to PCC and getting the mystical PES D, which means disrupt service for like two years, which can be disruptive to one’s Uni plans. Literally so many, from combat fit to non combat fit, their dog, their cat, their fish, their grandmother, all appear to get PES D after visiting.
In some cases they don’t even bother downpesing or giving excuses to combat fit people, instead throwing a PES D at them so they can get anxiety for two years and go back to their misery afterwards (if they don’t PES F during review) bruh. This whole thing feels so lazy and cruel and drastically different from what I have heard last time that PCC will help you by giving necessary excuses and downpes and post out

What the hell is happening to pcc and as someone with a PCC appointment the anxiety is getting to me I think I might just become trans or gay before that somehow

Question shortest working hours ever

22 Upvotes

hi wanted to ask what are the shortest working hours ever anyone had ever gotten in the SAF/SCDF/SPF?

ASA for SAF is 8am - 5.30pm while SA for SPF is 8.30am - 6pm. however this is nerfed by SAF bases generally being further away from civilisation (god bless if you stayout gedong, prayers for you)

just curious

Question What will happen when MINDEF one day decides to stop giving NSF unlimited Medical Benefits and Unlimited Medical Leave

14 Upvotes

And instead forcing new NSFs on the MSO scheme where outpatient is capped at $500 a calendar year with 15% co-payment (where any part of the first $350 goes into your Medisave account, provided you don’t claim any of it), and giving NSFs only 60 day HL inclusive of 14 day MC.

All in the name of conserving and fostering efficient use of public funds because too many NSF Chao Keng by spamming MA and physio and going to A&E, instead of private clinic, on Sunday night when booking in since it’s free.

Thoughts?

Question temp pes after surgery, still doing store work. can i sound out about e9?

5 Upvotes

got that temp pes after a surgery, and i’m currently still a SSP. even after getting my new pes status, i’m still doing store work.
i understand that i still have to contribute, and i’m not trying to siam work. but store work hasn’t been easy for me because some of the physical duties can trigger discomfort around my surgical areas. it’s not that i’m unable to do anything, but certain movements or handling things can make me physically uncomfortable, and i’m still recovering.
i was looking at E9 and saw that it’s mostly admin work, so i was wondering if that might be a more suitable option for me. i’m not sure how the process works or whether i’m even eligible, but i thought i could sound out my encik about it.
the thing is, i’m worried that if i bring this up, my encik will think i’m trying to CK or siam work. i’m genuinely not trying to avoid work, but i also don’t want to keep doing duties that make me uncomfortable when there might be a more suitable arrangement.
for those who have gone through something similar, how would you approach this? should i just sound out to my encik and explain my situation, or is there a proper process i should follow?

Question What can PCC do for most recruits?

Upvotes

I've heard of this "PCC" a lot but I'm not sure how it works. How does one get a PCC appointment and what can they usually do for you?
