Train breakdown only. Even reservist will have an MO turn up at his house and catch him to go back to camp. Remember that the government still owns your life even after you have served full time for your country. The Life of A Sinkie.

Around evening 6pm++ when I was free and have requested for permission to proceed to Pasir Lebar Camp '24hrs Medical Centre' I was told off was told off 'Sorry you can only Report Sick from 6.30am - 7.30am' by the LT in-charge of the reservist training.

Later that night, I was lucky enough as it was a 'nights off' so I took the chance to visit the 'Family Clinic' around my neighborhood. And true enough I got a MC for 3days due to stomach flu. So I called back to camp and reported that I was given a 3 days MC period from 18 - 20 march 2009. But I was told to report back to camp by 6.30am (19 March 2009) that day MORNING!

I was unable to travel due to medications and my were hands also shaking heavily due to the medications I had taken. So I informed my officer that I will REPORT back camp when I can walk properly. But they came down to my place and tried to take me back camp by the 'BOOK' even though I had a Medical Cert!

Then they told me, they have to bring me back to camp to rest 3days in sick bay. Reservist Man? go back camp to rest? Who ever get this kind of treatment? If you are a NSF, yes.. NS-Men? I told them off, 'I am now weak due to medication. I cannot walk properly, if any mishap occurs who will be responsible? I WANT A NAME/RANK/NIRC of a person the can be in-charge of my safety.'

They could not and the Medical Officer replied 'Its ok, we believe we can settle this peacefully.

"I've seen and verified your MC, we will leave now but you had to report back to camp on Monday (23 March 2009)"
