  there is this scheme to convert people who are in leadership positions of stat boards or major firms to utilise their working skills to lead NS units..not sure what the exact term is.
  
  If you are a lawyer, the Legal Service might rope you in to be a Legal Officer for your reservist.MAJ(NS) I think.

  actually it's very simple, let say a CPL ORD, he worked hard and become a lawyer, a manager, a dentist or any high position, u can't expect them to chiong in the jungle right?
  
  ok seriously, it's like a way to recogonise their achievement in their civilian life, by giving them a rank that match their civilian status, so that they can put their capabilities to better use.
