  Anyone got the badge? Was wondering how and where to earn this badge?
  
  whats the process? send 1st dan cert to saf for verification? :/

  from what i recall... you can submit your first dan for verification. If SAF approves it, you can then wear the badge
  
  I think unarmed combat instructors also don this badge after completing their course at School of PT.

  once u can wear the badge, you can wear it on any uniform. No1,2,3,45 etc
  
  the No.4 variant of the tkd is commonly found in most emarts. But No. 3 and No.1 harder to find, might need to pre-order.

  Because if like that, people like me will don 3-4 badges and walk around looking like christmas tree in No. 3

  x'mas tree....haha... reminds me of cdo warrants...their uniform really like x'mas tree.
  
  in fact, tkd on No.3 can be placed on the b.r.e.a.s.t pocket, so LHS can put 4 local badges

  some people hardly practise their art also.. therefore the belt doesnt really mean a thing.

  Let's see... I'm wearing 3 on the LHS, not including TKD... Hmm... if I qualify for TKD then it will include TKD, then can also include diving badge, which.. equals 5?

  Actually now on my LHS I am wearing badges any regular can get, and in theory, I think you can plonk unlimited number of badges there if you are a regular, rank+served for many years.
  
  Airborne+JCC+CSB+TKD+EOD+Diver+.... you name it.

  you've ORD/ROD liao right?
  
  just asking what badges do you have on yr LHS?
  
  And if you're a regular.. there is a waiting list for each course...i know some people who queue 2 years just to qualify for airborne.
  
  SO those NCC buggers got it lucky..no need to queue.
