SAF Will Redesign PES System So That Servicemen Can Take Up More Roles: Ng Eng Hen
No more binary classification of servicemen.

Medical Classification System Review To Focus On Operational Effectiveness, Says Defence Minister
For decades, Singaporean guys have had to go for a medical check-up before starting their national service (NS).
The examination is so that the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) can determine the physical condition of a pre-enlistee and grade him in a way that will determine what type of training he can do.
However, this medical classification system is set for a review, said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen.

Following that, servicemen will be able to take up more roles in vocations that were previously not available to them.

PES system to be reviewed
In a Facebook post on Monday (1 Mar), Dr Ng said the Physical Employment Standards (PES) system will be subject to a review.

Currently, recruits are graded on a scale from PES A to PES F.
While PES A & B recruits are determined to be combat-fit and suitable for frontline operational vocations, those who’re deemed to be PES C and E are non-combat-fit but can serve in some support vocations, like admin.
PES F means one is medically unfit for any form of service.
Focus on operational effectiveness
According to Dr Ng, the review will focus on the operational effectiveness of individual servicemen.


That means that they won’t just be reduced to 2 categories: Combat-fit and non-combat-fit.

How the SAF will do that remains will probably be announced soon.
A monumental change for the SAF
All Singaporean guys who’ve served the nation will be intimately familiar with the current PES system.
For a period of time, it’s all they would have been obsessed about, as it has a great impact on what they do during their time in NS, as well as when they serve reservist.

That’s why a review of the medical classification system will be a monumental change for the SAF.

Do you think it’s a long time coming, or the it should stay the same? Do air your views in the comments.

I think MINDEF is crying for able body man to join the ranks of NSF. But due to the declining population plus the fuck up SAF, more people are just feigning their way out of NSF.

So your vocation you be assigned will be according to your role and responsibilities. No more PES F or PES c.

There will always be a PES F. Some people are just not medically fit to serve. And under the current system, your PES determines your vocation. Nothing will change. As u say, a declining male population is still a declining male population. No amount of juggling with the PES system is going to fix it. The only way to fix it is make females do NS too.

National service is not cheap labour, because very rarely are NS men used for cheap labour. NS is to inflate the numbers in the SAF and therefore enable the PAP to justify more and more scholar genitals to run mythical units in the reserves.

PES C is mostly a category for White Horse and super white horses as well as national athletes.
eg. I know a national hockey player, who went through BMT and after that got downgraded to PES C so he can play for SAFRA
eg. I know a school swimmer and tennis player who never even went to BMT but got straight downgraded to PES C because his father is a somebody big shot.

U don't know the meaning of cheap labour, you dumbass. If the SAF sends 2 SIR to a Jurong factory to make hand bags, then I agree its cheap labour. NDP is not cheap labour because no economic gain was made from it. Same for carrying Old Fart's corpse. Got it?

The end monetary gain is not the issue.
It's getting people who are unfairly paid with pittance allowance to do a shitjob, that's cheap labour!
They can jolly fucking well pay professionals to carry his fucking corpse, sing and cry at the market rate.

Why should NSFs be misused for irrelevant activities?

NS generates tremendous revenue for the regime, of course they will keep it going at all costs and use 'national security' or 'operational readiness' to silence critics. :biggrin:

The military budget is also a sacred cow, it will almost never be reduced. :wink:

In that case, u can say the entire NS term is cheap labour. But that would be wrong.
