HQ 3 Div got (infantry) pioneer platoon, meh? -
Don't read too much in the official notices, let alone believe what others say. Here's my experience , when reporting for the first ICT (for example).
Got my first SAF100, with an attachment saying the same things (uniform, kit , etc). Also, gave the address and manpower dept of the unit I was being posted to. Saw that it was a unit different that has no connection with my NS days. Also saw that it was in a sensitive place. Decided to be "kay-po" and rang up the S1 of the unit whose name and tel. was on the attachment.
Nice fellow answered the phone. Ask my rank and name and heard him do some paper shuffling and then he said, "Ahh.... you are one of the reservists coming in next month.... ahhh. ... don't worry you will like it here... what's yr NS vocation.... ahhhh...... not so xiong here ahhh......". Boy-o -boy, I was smiling after that phone call. Nice unit (altho a bit far from home) but looks like no more charging up hills and shouting instructions in a hoarse voice ......
First day, when I arrived at the unit and went to the admin block.... I dropped dead from surprise and shock. There was a large Indian WO2 with a red beret and some jump badges in smart no. 3, conducting muster parade for this unit. There was a mix of NS and reservists, but there was no distinction as to who were the reservists and NS men. There were also a few LTAs also involved in the muster parade (reservists). The only ones being spared were obviously those capt. rank and above. CO was standing at parade ease to one side of the square. Jeeesuss.... this was my first ICT. -

CO at ease, meaning at "parade ease". The malay command is " Senang Diri". Took me 30 seconds to remember this ! hahaha ... been a long time since I thought of this word.Originally posted by laurence82:Co stand at ease? goodness..tot he shld be abt making sure things are allright
It was a muster parade, and the WO2 was acting RSM of the unit. And CO was standing to one side, waiting to receive the nominal roll report.
By the way, both WO2 and CO were regular (commando and ex-SOF). A bit on the ball even when treating us reservists. Plus 30% to half of the unit were NS men about to ORD, they were receiving their conversion training with us 1st ICT reservists. The NS men were quite on the ball even though they had 2 to 3 months before ORD.
A few of us SGTs and LTAs (all reservists) were late. We thot 0800 hrs means report to admin building at sharp 0800 hrs. But nobody told us that we have to "fall -in" and be part of the muster parade 5 mins before 0800hrs !!! As I said, only a couple of older officers (reservist Captains) that came in from other units were sort of excused from parade. They were "rescued" by the S1 who asked them to come into his office to get some papers.
No scolding... but we got a very nasty look from the WO2 and CO. Later, we were all laughed at by the men.
