wrong. cancer also can siam. my fren siam ns, but he wont live for long though. sad. he was enthu to enter when i first knew him. lose an arm or leg also can siam ns.Originally posted by Terribear:only way to siam NS totally is to have jia lat mental problem.. then u spend 2 years in IMH, not SAF.
can meh?Originally posted by DarkMatter:transversite also can siam. I saw before.
as mentioned, it depends on severity... micro millimeter hole is like insignificant.~shrug~ If you say so. But SAF doesn't conduct CT scans for enlistees, don't they? Neither does MOE for that matter, or else tragedies like what happened to that triathlete Thaddeus could've been preempted. I was thinking more along these lines: hole in hearts tend to be detected as birth defects (i.e. in babies or children) & if they're serious enough, would've undergone surgical repair earlier.
if u have 2 or 3 holes in heart or the heart value got some tear, u think saf mo will risk the probability?
uncommon cases. i've seen nsman siam ns cuz they got mental prob. 1 fella lagi funny, fear of tonners. cuz he had an accident with tonner b4.Originally posted by thoreldan:most powerful one is a fellow spec who missed our first 4 ict
