Question NSFIT NSMEN allowance not credited?

5 Upvotes

Hi guys, just wanted to check if anyone has experienced this or knows how the NSFIT payments work.
For some background, I completed 3 virtual NSFIT sessions in September and took my IPPT in October, which I failed. However, I’ve only received $20 for my IPPT attendance and nothing for the 3 NSFIT sessions.

From my understanding, we’re supposed to receive an allowance for every NSFIT session attended, right? Or am I missing something? Does anyone know how long the payments usually take to be credited? Thanks in advance!

I am at like at my lowest point of life alr regarding my future prospects and NS is just making things worse. Feel like I am being treated like a dog everyday by everyone. My mental health is crumbling to the core...

I am at the brink of my suicidal thoughts and I am so desperate to get out of this situation. 1+ yr to ORD btw...

My superiors are also keep reminding about how if I were to downpes or post out it is going to worsen the manpower shortage... Only making me feel more shit.

Someone pls tell me how to cope with this. ThanksπŸ™

Why do some units desperately want you to clear your leave? It will literally just be gone when the year ends anyway so why make it a big deal? Will I get charged and go DB if I don’t clear it?

Serious Discussion Need advice on anger management and dealing with people who keep making fun of me

23 Upvotes

Hi guys, need some advice here.

I have an anger management issue, especially when people joke about my flaws or insecurities. Sometimes I get triggered quite easily and end up reacting emotionally in front of my peers.

Recently, after I reacted badly in front of them, they started spreading rumours about how I reacted and making fun of me. Some of them even smirk at me and call me β€œautistic” or β€œidiot”. They seem to find my reactions damn funny, but honestly, it makes me feel quite embarrassed and disrespected.

At the same time, I find it hard to stay calm when people keep poking fun at my flaws, especially when they do it in front of others.

For context, I'm looking for advice on how to handle this kind of situation, especially in NS environment where you still have to see these people regularly.

How do you guys deal with people who try to provoke you or make fun of you without losing your temper?

Would appreciate any advice from those who have gone through something similar. Thanks guys.

πŸ₯ Medical Query regarding SCC appointment

2 Upvotes
  1. Hi all, I received a referral to SCC from my MO recently, but I am not sure what to do after that. Am I supposed to wait till I receive an appointment date, or am I supposed to just walk in to SCC with the referral letter?

  2. And also, I feel like my mental health has only been getting worst, so idk if SCC would be enough and feel that going PCC to receive official diagnosis from psychiatrists would be better. Can I ask SCC to refer me to PCC, or must I revisit my MO and ask for referral again to PCC instead?

Thanks!

Ok let's say a security trooper do something funny like dancing in the guardroom then got caught on camera by anyone like OC, or PWO or anyone, can they give you last warning not to do it again if got caught first time? And secondly is would you get charged if caught for the second time? And why doing something funny like dancing in a guardroom can get charged? Is it because of affecting the security operations?

Question Does 11B cover replacement medication if accidentally damaged?

11 Upvotes

Hi, NSF here. I was prescribed 3 bottles nasal spray at a public hospital like just 10 days ago.ever since i started using it, it's been life changing bro 😭 i can finally breathe in 4k lmao.

Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped one bottle and it cracked. I still have the other 2 bottles, but I'm worried about running out before my next appointment which is next year.i'm still serving NS next year and won't be ORDing anytime soon, so i'm wondering if 11B covers a replacement or if i'll have to pay out of pocket.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Will the hospital issue a replacement covered by 11B or will I have to pay out of pocket?.

Also, does anyone know if polyclinics carry Dymista?
