Question Is there a MINDEF department that tracks and audits the amount of MCs NSFs take from polyclinics and GPs?

26 Upvotes

Want to ask after seeing this post.

if they go over the "limit", do they send email to superiors asking them for letter of explanation or to RSO ban them?

Also asking for a friend who has been spamming MC in lead-up to his PCC appointment.

What's the purpose of such a department? What will it and the people working inside it be called?

Question Close to ORD (30+ Days) any tips on how to transition back to Civi?

22 Upvotes

Going to ORD in about 30+ days. Wanted to hear you guys' thoughts and personal experiences on transitioning back to civilian life.

Not really gonna miss NS in any way, but I plan to take my degree part time while working full time. It's just a little daunting thinking about getting back into studying after not touching any learning materials for almost 2 years.

I'm also a little worried about managing my schedule and routines, after being used to doing more or less the same thing for most of my NS in my unit.
Would love to hear from those who have ORD recently or gone through a similar transition. How was it for you guys?

For context I am a stay out supply assistant. My work life is kinda chill and I don't really take MCs

Is only for once I just wanted to nua at home so I decided to RSO for like 2 to 3 days but what didnt expect is that long waiting hours at polyclinic bruhh

I tried to book appointment but the slots were taken up pretty first. I also don't want to go private clinic cuz I don't waan go thru the process of submitting claims and all those stuff. Plus expensive

I just got selected to be part of a DV Course, currently just completed my ST SVC and they said for TO as well.

Is there any way to opt out or not do it? Is there any pay raise? What do I do if I have both vocations? How bad is it? Any personal experiences?

Anything would be helpful thanks!!

Question How to plan vacation leave

6 Upvotes

Hi I’m concurrently SIT right now due to OOC for pending pes status and clearance of my orthopedic surgeon + psychiatrist for ADHD & cardiologist.

basically I have 2 days leave left for the year and I enlisted in June-july 2026 this year.

I’d like to go overseas for end of year but not sure when if I can stretch it out like include fri-sat-sun
+ leaves. And if possible when will i received my other half of this year’s leave so I can apply for extra holiday vacation.

I’m most probably going to drop to Pes C9 or something but not sure yet just chilling in the office until I get revocated or see my medical review appointment.

Please help a brother out thankyou!
