I think all CDF's wear their beret of their vocation.
LG (RET) Winston choo should be black if i am not wrong.
Funny you all mention about CDFs. My mom asked me few days ago if "3 stars" is a big rank. I say obviously and I asked why. She told me that because her daily Taiji group got this aunty chit chat with her and eventually talk about their sons.
That aunty say, "i dunno what my son do, but he has 3 stars."
I mean agewise its believable, the aunty is like in her 70s already. But not knowing what your son do when he is 3 stars... abit the impossible.
Correct me if I am wrong, all CDFs are 3 stars, there are no non-CDF 3 stars.
So if that aunty is correct, one of the CDF is her son?
Unless she is confusing stars with stripes. -

well... the aunty's son could have the word "SECURITY" instead of "SINGAPURA" on his 3-star epaulette.

Agewise, she could very well be CDF's mother.Originally posted by Ponders:I think all CDF's wear their beret of their vocation.

well.. i would like to give her benefit of doubt lah. ahha
Well, i mean she mentioned her son retired from army liao. So a former 3-star i guess.
maybe its "SECURITY" or "NCC" on the epaulette.
but i think she is more of confusing, Stripe from star or crab. -
The star would resemble the crab more than the stripes
Prolly a COL too -
3 stars can means a lot of things what?Originally posted by Ponders:Funny you all mention about CDFs. My mom asked me few days ago if "3 stars" is a big rank. I say obviously and I asked why.
