Hey everyone, I need to vent and hear your thoughts on this.
Back on October 14th, I made the exhausting trip from Chlef to Blida to submit my medical file at the National Service center. They registered me and told me to come back in 15 days.
Today (October 26th), I made the same grueling trip all over again. I arrived at the center early at 7:45 AM, stood in line for nearly four hours, and finally reached the counter at 11:40 AM. But when I handed over my file, the agent casually told me, "We only process medical files in the morning, and the time for them is over."
Just like that, after hours of standing and hundreds of kilometers traveled, all my effort was dismissed.
Living in Chlef and having to deal with this endless, soul-crushing back-and-forth travel has completely drained me. At this point, I’m seriously considering just walking away, forgetting the whole National Service file exists, and moving on with my life without that card.
For those who have been through this or similar bureaucratic nightmares: Is it worth fighting through this system, or is dropping it for my own mental peace the right move? What would you do in my shoes?
