Wah lau, like that all serviceman can just walk out of camp during off service. OFF service mah! Mindef not responsible, NS man also not responsible. Sad to say, I don't stand on Mindef's side, but they have this stupid thing, if your injury is service related or not, so if you are on duty or in the field on exercise, and you injure yourself or get injured, then it is considered a service related injury, MO will have to write a report, OC/PC will submit a report on how the accident occurred, etc.... farking waste of everyone's time, and submit ti Mindef, then you will go for medical treatment (which is mostly sub standard, well during my time, filled with pain killers and doctors that have faces that look like yours and my rear end) Then it will be filed in for compensation, prior you going in front of a Medical board, and the hospital specialist will submit their version of it as well. So, from what I know before, even if you're in camp, not on diuty, you head off to say, Changi Village, and get into a fight, bottle hantum on head, bleeding and all, that does not get you compensation from SAF, as you are considered Off-Duty, so you die is your pasar.This fine line has been there since well...day one since the army has been around.

Ed2win2 Neutral Newbie January 14, 2009 Share January 14, 2009 This is just 1 case, there are probably hundreds other cases that goes unheard. My friend got a slip disc in backbone due to punishment to crawl in a muddy drain to & fro several times. After ORD, medical bill is on his own.
