Guard Comds of camps with RT training.
-
how many of you here are from camps that conduct RT and at the same time been guard comds before?
Don't you find booking them in a hassle?
Anyway, what was the highest ever rank you did book in for a RT training personnel?
Mine was a LTC (NS) booking in to do RT.
But there was ontime time i gotta book in a BG (NS) because he need to pass IPPT. my camp RSM kept calling me by the hour to remind me he is gonna book in. -
when i was in service, i was told that LTC and above need not change pass at the guardhouse for whichever camp they go. i'm not sure whether this is a official directive or just another give-them-face-and-avoid-complains approach given by the superiors.
cos some high ranking LTC and above i came across will give me black face if i tell them to proceed to guardhouse to change pass. can u imagine a LTC/COL queueing up at the guardhouse under a hot sun waiting for his turn to change pass?

It's an SAF wide directive that MAJ and above need not change pass.Originally posted by Gordonator:when i was in service, i was told that LTC and above need not change pass at the guardhouse for whichever camp they go. i'm not sure whether this is a official directive or just another give-them-face-and-avoid-complains approach given by the superiors.

But this only apply to in-service personnel.
RT-personnel are regarded as civilian in this regards. Anyway, RT-book in is by nominal roll but have to deal with 100+ vehicles and 400-500 personnel daily.. it is a hassle. -
will it be more convenient if all NSmen coming for IPPT print out a copy of their appointment date from ns.sg and show them to the personal on duty?

My camp's standing orders still require them to come into the guardroom and sign in on a book for senior officers because we are def. not a run of the mill camp.Originally posted by Gordonator:when i was in service, i was told that LTC and above need not change pass at the guardhouse for whichever camp they go. i'm not sure whether this is a official directive or just another give-them-face-and-avoid-complains approach given by the superiors.

And if they drive, they must have a label to park. Guess what? Gotta go to the guardroom as well. -

While SAF-wide directive states MAJ and above need not book in... most still take the courtesy to inform the RSM of that camp of his impending arrival. -
