Ya last time NCC or even army wear thsoe type..tink it too hot so they changed to the present ones..Originally posted by Gordonator:last time NCC is wearing that temesek green uniform, like the MP no.3 like that. hope that clarify your doubt.
Er..But i tink NCC teachers are very slack..Don see them in every training session.. -
u're from my sec sch?!Originally posted by cornyfish2000:heh, i think i know who u're referring to. Remember him always wearing the old dark green no. 3 uniform during NCC day when everyone else has already switched to the current light green one.
-
no he's right. this MAJ(NCC) always wearing a dark green dress uniform.Originally posted by wuming78:simi dark green light green? thought ncc cadets wear no. 4 nowadays? -
yup yup thats him I think? but are u from my sch? or are there more than one MAJ(NCC) teachers we're talking about.Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Oh, the ncc cadets wear no. 4 but the teacher i/cs wear no. 3. Though i was never in NCC, this particular teacher stood out from the rest because his no.3 uniform was different from the rest.
oh btw, Is Arthur Beng still in charge of NCC? wads his rank? His son was in my sch, NCC also, a batch above me, when Arthur Beng was the chairman of NCC. -
Haha.. looks like we're in the same batch as well (this particular NCC teacher was my yr master)..Originally posted by HENG@:yup yup thats him I think? but are u from my sch? or are there more than one MAJ(NCC) teachers we're talking about.

ya Dr Beng is still the chairman of NCC. i don't think he has any rank apart from being chairman.Originally posted by HENG@:oh btw, Is Arthur Beng still in charge of NCC? wads his rank? His son was in my sch, NCC also, a batch above me, when Arthur Beng was the chairman of NCC. -
I think there has been a change in policy, spoke to a former NCC Staff Officer who has since retired....My understanding is that .... In the past if you were a NS Officer and as a teacher, got NCC as your CCA, you get to retain your NS rank completely; in other words you wear your Singapura rank and your NS formation berret. If you're commando, you wear your red berret but change the crest to NCC crest. This is so even as when you are a trainee in the NCC Officer Training Course.Originally posted by sgboy2004:if u NS(LTA)...u still wear back your NS rank, not the NCC one lah
But now,
During course, regardless of past NS background, all trainees will wear trainee ranks, similar to service term OCT, i.e. 2 white strips but with the word NCC instead of Singapura. After course, what rank each NCC officer will be depends on his NS rank. If the officer is LTA(NS), he will get LTA(NCC). If the person is a 3SG(NS) , he will start off with 2LT(NCC).
Subsequently, if an NS Officer gets promoted in his SAF rank, he will receive a smiliar promotion in NCC. Let's say a LTA(NS) gets promoted to CPT(NS), he will similarly get promoted from LTA(NCC) to CPT(NCC). But a promotion within the NCC ranks doesn't earn you a promotion in SAF ranks lah..
Yet to hear of any NCC Officers being promoted beyond to the ranks of COL(NS) and above. Not too sure of this situation if it ever happens.
Hope I didn't get any facts wrong

looks like it means all pass out will be 2LT first.. den promote thru point system.. thats more likely cos its the same way wif CLTs to promote to senior CLTs.. its a point system as well. -
Highest rank to date in NCC for NCC officers is the rank of LTC.But by the time a teacher officer reach LTC,he will most probably be asked to be HQ staff.
