Hey guys, need some help here. I have defaulted IPPT and now also had just defaulted my RT cos unable to finish my 20 RT in given time frame eventhough they have extended the time to additional month. So I manage to complete up to 17 sessiond only. Bottomline is, I sure sure kena charge one but will they send me to DB. Dont mind the fine but just dun want to to go DB leh. This is my 4th or 5th time kena charge.
plead with the officer ? call NS hotline or the FCC to ask them to help you slot in the balance 3 sessions of RT? at least u make the effort to attend 17 session. pls call NS hotline or FCC to check...
Called NS hotline and they refer me to my NS unit. Unit say it depends on the CMPB guy(dun noe what his position called) whether to fine me or send me to DB. NS unit does not sound convincing. I cannot go DB cos I've got three kids and confirm, double comfirm my wife cannot handle them. Now me working two jobs day do technical work and night as taxi driver. If go DB, money fly,fly and fly...jialat..FCC say cannot extend further since they extended me once already.
plead to the officer lah..talk nicely to them... tell him u got 3 kids (take their birth cert along?) tell him that u are working two jobs to cover house expense.. depend on situation, they might give you one more chance and help you book the RT...
not sure in your case, as you did manage to take RT but cant complete in time so they might give chance.. those who go DB are mostly those who did not book RT or book liao did not go once at all.
in future, try to take IPT... got 9 months to take 8 sessions of IPT and if cant pass, still got 3 months to do 10RT (instead of 20 RT)
Hopefully the officer can give me face. If kena fine, its ok with me. just dun want to waste time in DB. very costly.
u completed 17 sessions already...at least there is an effort to book for RT and attend..
just let them know your job is very demanding or think of some personal reasons or medical conditions (ie. injuries/ diseases) to explain to them
won't DB lah, don't worry...most likely is a fine higher than last time
DB is for nsf or regulars, or for more serious offence such as theft/fights during ICT, or repeitively absence from ICT,
My last charge was 4 years for similar offence. Since then I tried to manage my time and thankfully completed my RT. But for this window my situation got very tight. Initially, got part time study at NTU, 4 nights per week. Weekends got project or assignment. Where got time for RT. At last I quit cos got to attend RT. The last time officer told me if I kenna charge again, I may be put into DB...Dunno if he purposely scare me or what.
missing words" 4 years ago"
for your case, should be a reprimand only

You should invest some money on medical consultation ...
Medical Consultation on??
Downgrades and excuse IPPT, what else. Find a specialist and spend some money to find fault with your body.
hmmm....should have done that years ago. Now have to answer charge first. Hopefully no DB for me. Then gonna invest on medical. But honestly, for past years my back have been killing me. Consult company doc and he gave me anarex pills and two days MC. Not forgetting one month light duty. Nabey all that for what!! Still got to go RT after the one month. Haiya last time no $$ see specialist. Does it cost thousands??? Anybody can enlighten me.

Of course your company GP is being cheap.
Got damaged disc? Your own GP will refer you to a specialist, who will send you for a MRI back scan, then one more specialist appointment to read the scan results and get your downgrade memo written.
Each one in the low hundreds. Total not even a thousand, in the high hundreds only. Anyway if your company has insurance scheme it might be free for you.
Thanks guys
I'm not sure if as NSman you can still go through MO and get it 100% free.
Anyway if not just do it yourself. Very cheap.

Hi steven, you will have to take your IPT IPPT lesson on the first session, this will be also be base on your PPT (personal performance targets) and will update your target within few days/weeks thru your NS portal so that in this way you will know which colour tag u can take base on the system
Green - Weight Loss for those BMI above 27.5
Red - Running
Blue - Running and static
Yellow - Static
Once you have pass and met your PPT / BMI target you can exit the system already.
Hi guys, I'm back. So I did went to see specialist. After Xrays and scan, he recommend permanent downgrade. However, after seeing the MO, he only give me temporary downgrade for few months and told me it depends on medical board to give me permanent downgrade or not. So no charge and DB for me...phew. But got to wait for medical board decision. BTW the medical cost was about only $300 plus incuding the scan, Xrays and consultation.
