I'm a student in a tertiary institution going into NS next year.

During a competition earliler in the year, i injured my leg and thus have not been able to take the NAPFA test yet.

I have went for the NS Medical Screening and have obtained a PES D status. My coach says that this is a "waiting" status. What is going to happen now?

I have heard that from my seniors there is something called PTP where it is an extra 4 weeks for people who get Bronze or below for NAPFA test. In that case, would i have to go for this PTP?

Or would i have to go into army later? I don't think i would want to cause i want to go in with my friends. Also, would this affect my chanes in NS?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Thanks.

I was PES D for 2 months, just promoted to PES B a few days ago. But i'm kinna disappointed, I didn't get PES A which was what i wanted.

PTP = Physical Training Phase. It's for people who didn't get silver or gold for NAPFA.

Basically, PES D means your status is "Undetermined" which is to say you are not tagged with a PES status.

I know that u wanna enter Army with ur frds but with this injury, it is highly likely that you will enter later than them. Do not feel sad 'cos this might be a good chance to get to know new frds from different walks of life, rather than from the same educational level as you.

PES A and B are not much different. We don't always need to get 'A's for everything.

pes A and B not much of a diff. as for pes D, i belief ur injury cause u to have a temp pes status. do not worri, i belief dey will ask u to review ur injury and dey will gif u a updated pes status. :D


PTP = physical trg phase. for those who dun obtain a silver in napfa. ur ns stint will be 2 yrs compared those enlisted to bmt of 1 yr 10mth. basically during ptp, u will do physical activities to toughen up ur physical. :D
