I have questions on whether my injury is eligible for SI claims.
I developed patellar tendinitis during BMT due to all the running and physical activities a year ago. It has worsened to the point where I can’t do any running or squatting without experiencing pain.
Am I able to receive claims for treatment for my knee?

I just want to ask to get this out of my mind...

So basically I have been on follow-up with my IMH consultant psychiatrist since last year after visiting the emergency dept for adjustment disorder exacerbated by my pre-existing mental health conditions that existed prior to NS. I notice that after every consult though, if I don't specify whether I needed MC or not, he will just pass me a 1 month+ long MC to cover till the next appointment. Which is very strange because I didn't ask for it, and most likely don't need it. In fact I have never used those MCs at all, save for a three week one he gave me when I was posting out of old unit, and two other MC spanning less than 5 days.

He knows I don't use them (and I guess probably doesn't expect me to), because during the next consult he will automatically ask me how things are in NS and camp.

I'm also pretty certain I can tell the difference between when he intends me to use an MC or not, as evidenced by the fact that during the first consult when I was awaiting posting out of old unit and titrated my medications, he gave me a three week MC and specifically instructed me, "I will MC you until your next appointment".

The NS website also only gives instructions on how to submit MCs for medical leaves if you are ill.

To qualify for medical leave, you must:
- Have an MC
- Inform your instructor and send him your MC if you are too ill to report for duty, or submit it immediately upon reporting for duty

But there is also no specific GOM mandating the submission of MCs if you are feeling well and don't want to take medical leave. I also was taught that Medical Certificates do not automatically lead to Medical Leaves; a medical certificate serves primarily as a supporting document for medical leave.

Hence, from all of this and my interactions with him, the only logical explanation I can deduce why my psychiatrist is giving such MCs to cover me till next appointment is so that if and whenever I don't feel mentally well, I can pull out the MC and claim medical leave, somewhat like an insurance policy. But please correct me if I am wrong.

If this information is worthy or notable, my IMH psychiatrist is a new consultant psychiatrist who only joined late last year, and probably does not fully understand the NS system (he said it himself that he's a foreigner and does not fully understand how we work too). I believe he has good intentions at heart, but I'm not sure if this practice would be frowned upon or not if it were found out.

Appreciate it if someone can advise me if I should keep things this way, or whether there are issues with how I'm approaching this.

Got called up to be part of NDP flag party as ICT. Apparently, will be tagged to the team that does the state flag fly past. But anyone knows what ICT will be like?

I'm 20, turning 21 in December, 280 days to ORD, and with how slow time flies in camp I feel like I have lived an eternity already. Feel like I am 30 years old in the body of a 20 year old without the wisdom and maturity. Does life get better after NS? Feel like I have lived an entire life in camp already.

Hi guys, just wanted to check if anyone has experienced this or knows how the NSFIT payments work.
For some background, I completed 3 virtual NSFIT sessions in September and took my IPPT in October, which I failed. However, I’ve only received $20 for my IPPT attendance and nothing for the 3 NSFIT sessions.

From my understanding, we’re supposed to receive an allowance for every NSFIT session attended, right? Or am I missing something? Does anyone know how long the payments usually take to be credited? Thanks in advance!

hiii i just applied for direct entry inspector and within a week they rejected me 😭 anyone know why (is it becos i applied too early?) and shld i continue to try applying like maybe jan? connect w me if u r also applying dei next yr 😛

Why do some units desperately want you to clear your leave? It will literally just be gone when the year ends anyway so why make it a big deal? Will I get charged and go DB if I don’t clear it?

Hi I have pretty long hair rn (mullet) . Will I be denied the ability to do my ippt because of this ? Or do the instructors not care ?

Is the money and time worth to sign on for 5 years? I’ve been seeing my other friends who signed on somewhat boasting about their money and bonuses; I’m at that point of life where I feel like earning money first before studying. How’s regular life

Hi recently ORD (7 Oct) just wanna check from previous batch how long does it take for it to get credited and isit on Life Sg or OneNs

Ok let's say a security trooper do something funny like dancing in the guardroom then got caught on camera by anyone like OC, or PWO or anyone, can they give you last warning not to do it again if got caught first time? And secondly is would you get charged if caught for the second time? And why doing something funny like dancing in a guardroom can get charged? Is it because of affecting the security operations?
