Why do I get myself into these kinda situations... waitaminit. ITZ NOT MY FAULT!

Rite.. here we go again. Another griping post.

The story is as follows. Somewhere last year, I injured my shoulder again. It popped outta its socket for the upteenth time. But this time, the pain didnt jus go away. In any case, the important thing is that I couldnt do chin ups anymore...

So this July, when I went for reservist training, I went to see the doc to get some advise and an mc. The nice doc gives me a 3 mth mc (Aug, Sept and Oct) and tells me to see a specialist. So i do that. I see a specialist, he gives me alook over and agrees that I can't do chin ups anymore.

So I get a letter which I need to get endorsed by the SAF. Well and dandy up to this point, I call up eMINDEF and ask to arrange an appointment. They are quite helpful and I'm impressed that they even offered to book it for me. Cool! Arranged for 29th Nov. Good for me becoz I'll be on leave.

Come 29th Nov, I wake in the morning (early! 8 plus becoz the appt's at 930). I have this gut feeling that sthg's wrong so I call up the medical center. Lo and behold, I have no appointment!!! WTF. So I call up eMINDEF and ask them whut happened. In their records they booked at appointment.

okok...simple case of miscommunication. Itz cool. I ask them to arrange another appointment. Up til now, they have not gotten back to me.

The end of my patience came when last week, I received a letter from my reservist unit saying that they wanna charge me for not taking my IPPT.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????!!!

Firstly, as I'm not fit enough to take. In any case, if i take if before getting my review, it'll count as a failure becoz I can't do chin ups!~

Secondly, I'm currently awaiting to be reviewed by YOUR SAF medical board, which by the way is terribly inefficient in arranging appointments! They didnt even record down the 29th Nov incident.

Next, shouldn't the bleeding "Charging Department" check it out before happily sendin out their little letters? I mean, don't you guys have the most EXPENSIVE computer system in Singapore? What's it used for? Certainly not disemination of information.

Its so fucking inefficient that I have to liase with 2 people to get my appointment, 1 from the callcenter at eMINDEF and the other from the unit itself. After all, information doesnt get through as we can see above.

Now they tell me I might have to go down to answer th charge anyway and explain my situation there. WHAT IS THIS BULL SHIT? I'm not answering a charge that I'm not guilty off? This came about due to YOUR inefficiency and incompetance! I'm not taking time off to make my way down to Clementi (although its near my house) because I have to work, u morons!

We'll see how this progresses when I call them up on Weds. It better go good or else....


Somebody gonna get a-hurt real bad.

Wonder if there's any chance the Straits Times or New Paper will pick up this post... heh... oh well, I might jus write in if they still expect me to go down.
