seen so many cases of not reporting MC and got into accidents

then make people get into trouble because superiors will go, “i know he did not submit MC, but as a commander, you should know he had history of….”

i only know the back gate is for connection to ECP to do ET runs. When i was NSF there, they were still doing works to convert the grass patches into proper footpaths...or so i thought, didn't bother to find out at that time.

How about now? Got proper footpath to the underground tunnel?

got and its like a garden now

you in the Navy ah?

go in from back gate also can..

as you are on ECP heading toward Changi airport, if you see bedok camp (the one with antenna mast) go there and call the guard room to open for you the gate.

key number 17 (that’s if key press hasn’t been updated)

the reason mobile charger is not allowed because of safety.

the case happened in 5SIR where a soldier used a third party charger and it burned his bunk bed.

this is a late 90s case and phone chargers are banned since.

and in tekong, i got a collection of phone chargers because my recruits kept bringing charger, but when i caught them stuck in the wall nobody dared to admit it was their property since it would mean extra duty.

so end up my table got like 15+ chargers of all brands.

Think a Singaporean paralympian won the bronze for equestrian.

 

Is the government going to pay $250,000 to this bronze medal winner?

 

 

one zero too many

I have access to satellite dish and was able to catch CCTV-1 signal for the paralympics opening ceremony.

It is really a moving and touching event to see the determination and spirt of so many performers and athletes gathering for the meet.

The touching moments of the olympics are the "Ballet" dance by the girl who lost her leg in Szechuan Earthquake

The lighting of the Paralympics flame was truly a moving moment showcasing the human spirit,

Hou bin, a wheelchair bound paralympian, pulleyed himself from the ground to the torch to light up the cauldron.

STOMP STOMP!!

SINGAPORE : Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is confident the country's Internal Security Department (ISD) will prove itself again, especially in light of new security challenges, like those arising from the influx of foreigners into Singapore.

He is also confident that the department will get over the escape of Jemaah Islamiyah detainee, Mas Selamat Kastari.

Does this mean he is allowing ISD to let it past and forget all about MSK?

if you still can type intelligibly then you are ok.

you are most likely to be suffering from a concussions.

You mentioned… you PRAY it is unrelated..

fever usually means a fracture somewhere.

that’s why i say… when you go CMPB to answer the charge, just ignore what they “advice” you.

Most of them will “threaten” you. Say if you appeal then later court martial, they will say the penalty is harsher.

But I am very sure you just lodge an appeal with valid evidence (maybe screen print of your excuse online), they will review and cancel your charge.

Don’t sign anything when the officer say just “acknowledge”

I haven’t celebrate 10 years anniversary this forum will still be active.

But one obvious change is Bar is way below now. unlike last time always number 2. after chit chat.

maybe too strict . eheheheh

What happens when you go there.. you have to answer your charge to a 2LT (most of the time) . Tell them you want to appeal. IGNORE what the 2LT tells you, say you want to appeal (that’s provided your MC is really valid and you did all the right steps informing CMPB that you had valid excuses not to attend RT)

My 34 year old LCP friend had to answer charges to a 19-21 year old NSF 2LT, when he wants to appeal, the 2LT just told him,

“Just pay the $50 lah, don’t get all of us into more trouble. i know you are not in the wrong, but you know procedures is procedures”

What's the point them showing us a white picture with no solidiers in it? Can't seem to see them.

Courts made a big contribution to the country

they made people who previously can't buy/afford furniture and housewares buyable thru credit.

i dunno leh.

during my time they keep asking us to go Chevrons.

When i was there.. Cheveron's like dying out.

there was no duty free beer since the bar closed down.

i only know ppl use it for chalet only

because Sergeant say MC big fuck.. means he effectively scolded a Captain or a Major.

There was a time in my camp, MO wrote an email to every PC and OC.

He went along the lines of,

"i have heard MANY cases trainees are made to participate in training despite their Excuse or ATT status as I prescribed. Most of the traineess are faced with the threat of late book out or make up training. I have given a status, it is therefore an order for serviceman to rest and recover, yet you commanders defiantly and openly challenged my authority. One death is one too many, would you have it on your conscience that a serviceman died in your hands?"

Service BMT for Females is 2 weeks.

Well... why Tan Howe Liang did not get money last time because he is a Singaporean.

Originally posted by skythewood:

true... the requirement is 3 years of satisfactory service, they will be eligible to retire at that rank.

Very seldom will the general be demoted to other post. think they will normally just retire bah. Just like singapore's LG. after his time is up, he will be reverted to a lower rank, but normally he will just retire lah.

They never retire one lah.. haha

see where our past CDFs are now... haha

US army have 4 star general and admirals, all the time. it is only the 5 star general (general of the army) that is only used in war time scenario.

Don't think singapore will need to use 4 star general. if i not wrong, there is only 1 2 star general, chief of army right now.. if recall the reservisit, maybe can form 3- 4 more armies, than will have 3 armies under chief of defence(3 star). 2 star will be chief of 1st army, or chief of 3rd army, and so on.

What i meant is, US Army 3 and 4 star ranks are tied to their posting.

The maximum a career soldier can go is 2 star MG, but if they need to fulfil a posting, a corresponding 3 and 4 star rank is awarded to them after approval from the Senate. once they finish that posting, they will revert back to 2 star MG unless they fulfil the exceptions requirements.

Actually US Army doesn't have a permanent 3 and 4-star general also. All 3/4 Star generals go back to 2 stars once their 3- or 4-star appointment expires.

However there are some exceptions where the 4 star general get to keep the 4 stars as an honourary practice. As such where the service personnel retires upon the end of the 4-star post.

In the case of Singapore, the SAF provides for a 4-star GEN rank. But I have seen no documents yet as to when this rank will be utilised.

And no, we are not the only country without a 4-Star rank. Israeli forgoes the 3-star LG rank. And other than the Royal Family, the highest rank in Brunei is COL (not sure about now).

Basically, at the top level, the Rank is mainly a "locally recognised" status, but when dealing with foreigners it is thier Position that matters. E.g., Chief of Defence Forces LG Quek would been deem 'equivalent' to Chairman of the Joint Chief of staff GEN Mullen.

However i added the ' ' to equivalent as it is not a directly comparable position.

My own personal theory as to when SAF will use 4-star rank is during which times our reserves battalion are fully mobilised. When that happens will we have 1 to 2 corps sized strength. Thus justifying the need for a GEN.

At the moment, our army is just division level usually headed by BGs.
