Y only Officers and WOs wear ranks on Epaulets ?
-
then he should act cool and still dare dare reply..... I salute the rank not u lah..Originally posted by Gordonator:the reason is very simple, if all soldiers wear rank on the epaulette, it will be very difficult for us to differentiate the officers from non comission officers.
imagine this, a CPT walks past, "Why u didn't salute me?"
reply, "Sorry Sir, I thought u are a 3SG."

Giving WOs officer type insignia just confuses the issue. The old-style Warrant insignia gave a much better indication of Warrant Officers' status

WOs have constantly been given the level up. For example, on Army terms, they've been upgraded to wear the gold belt buckle (previously silver), on par with the officer level. As for No.1 uniform peak caps, they now wear a gold chin strap instead of a normal coloured one. And WOs also have swords, although they are non-commissioned. They do not carry it down to parades.

They'll be entitled to a salute soon!!Originally posted by minimalis:WOs have constantly been given the level up.

If WOs now have Officers' responsibilities, wear Officers Uniform and are members of the Officers Club, it makes sense that they should also be saluted (like US Warrants).Originally posted by London9:They'll be entitled to a salute soon!! -
in kranji camp, those doing guard duty have to high-pot whenever a WO drives through. the RPs say it's a form of informal recognition for them, because they're as good as, or better than most officers.Originally posted by London9:They'll be entitled to a salute soon!! -

status in your army. -
Why is it that we don't put ranks on helmets like the US?

You can't have an 'informal' saluting policy for WOs if the official regulations say WOs shouldn't be saluted. It will confuse junior soldiers and cause conflicts.Originally posted by nismoS132:in kranji camp, those doing guard duty have to high-pot whenever a WO drives through. the RPs say it's a form of informal recognition for them, because they're as good as, or better than most officers.
SWO: Why didn't you salute me?
3SG: Why should I? -

sure why not, this is considered a form of greeting, usually to superiors. high port is not a salute, "ho ma sen jia ta" is a salute.Originally posted by Icemoon:I tot this is very common? CSM level and above do high pot. -

Well in the event of war and to prevent enemies from interrogating high rankers for confidential information, the rank of officiers are made so that it's easier for them to be removed therefore enemies have no idea of their rank and responsibilities. I remember I heard this somewhere.
