Who care about the titles
?
both are just feeding on gahman food
erm one is the Sergeant major of the army alone and the other one is the Sergeant major of all the three services?
err we have our own Sergeant Major of the Army (SMA) and SAF RSM...
Both are people u don't want to cross paths with..

army, navy and airforce.
saf SM is bigger than army SM. Saf SM only have to report to chief of defence, and is responsible for the discipline of the entire SAF.

Yeah i was very shocked too when i found out there were people so unbelievably stupid that they think SAF = army. Its probably because they receive their letters with the letterhead Singapore Armed Forces and they enlist in army so they make that connection. Worse they tell their equally dumb ah-lian girlfriends. I have actually met girls that dumb in clubs.
sergeant major is sn appointment. i think term used in us forces.
sg a 'sergeant major' can range from a rank of 2nd sergeant and above to warrant officers. e.g CSM company sergeant major , RSM regimental sergeant major. last time very big, now army a lot of such appointments.

We know. The sergeant majors specified in this particular instance have been narrowed down to two. The one at SAF level, and the one at army level. Hence, we are not talking about the CSM or RSM.
The term sergeant major is like the term commander. There are commanders at every level. It just depends on whether you are referring to platoon commander or division commander nia.

they are respected men with authority
never are they wasting rice
in my 2 years.. i never knew what the heck is a "sergaent major" or the diff types or their roles.. and neither did BMT taught me..
my impression of BMT was its some going-to-retire WO going around catching people and finding faults.. some fierce old ah pek indeed..
in unit, my CSM is like some sort of discipline head, and also like some sort of nanny... zzzz...
till now still donno what r they for..
btw the SAF SM drives MID 2.. but again.. heck... how he maintain discipline of the army.. one man control thousands of people..?
Hi guys you got it all wrong. They are not different at all, in fact they are the same --> filthy dogs

SAF SM and Army SM are not only disciplinarians, they have to chair/oversee certain projects/tasks handed down by the CDF or COA. They are also involved in the preparation of NDP parade every year. Basically, they are the overall in-charge for anything to do with men/specialist/WO corp within the SAF or Army respectively.
