EH HAIR CUT UNDERSTAND? not forgetting his causal 4 wor...
My CSM at Tekong Scorpion Coy was a super joker eh... Still rem this 2 line from him
"F*ck is a holy word" and "Pray the CheeBy*" -
Definitely Uncle Jefferey Chung
He is a very fair person...Goes by the book...Doesnt care whether if u are regular or not...as long as u did something wrong..good luck to u... -
again ,who is from Jurong Camp here? hehe
Was Xiao Jeff ever given a postiion higher than his current one, which is Div RSM? -
warrant raymond (RSM bmtc sch 1)... one hell of a respected guy.
fair to everyone. he even got to the point to allow sch 2 specs to bring up redresses to him because he knows sch 2 rsm isn't "there" yet.
warrant Chan (RSM bmtc sch 2)..... during POP rehearsal.....
"everybody just put in a little effort only, we do it once, do it good, we call it a day"......
3 hours later....
"we do it once, do it good, we call i a day"
during the rehearsal.. he will say things like...
"the rubberband effect, don't control your steps, you will create the rubberband effect"
when it rains...
"i konw your shorts spenders (u-wear) wet, but everyone just put in a little effort only..." -
Heard of Staff Jason? Ulysses CSM? Quite famous in ATEC one... also created quite a stirr with the Ulysses recruits... heheheh
-
the onli person i ever respected the most in pegasus coy is our csm.. hee.. treats the recruits veri well and cares for us.
when ever he make us do a lot of shiong PT.. we would do it willingly bcos we noe he can do it too and his standard is even higher than any of the CSMs in tekong and PTIs even (maybe i exaggerated here but tats wat me and most of my buddies feel). when he give us PT.. he would do it wif us and do even more than us. do u ever see the sgts do the same?
he once even f**ked a sgt for making us wait downstairs for dinner. sometimes the administration and coordination in BMTC is very bad. We always rush to wait... and wait to rush.. wats the point?
why do we always have to rush to fall in and in the end.. wait for further instructions.... or we wait for instructions and at the last min... orders were given to fall in and we rush.... they should improve tis admin aspect..
as for our csm.. hes the onli commando csm in sch 2 i tink... full of badges on his no4.. hee.. hes none other den MSG Lim.... i salute u .. -

Yet soon after the parade, he did some mistakes during a muster just beacuse it was his first time doing it and BMTC does things differently. Instead of letting him off in view of his past volunteerism and that he may be new to BMT, the RSM just handed out 14 extras to him, doing 24-hr duties every alternate days.
despite this, he took the extras like a man and never bad-mouthed the RSM.
This I respect. -
Is it John Selva?Originally posted by wuming78:the OCS SSM before the previous one.
our commissioning parade rehearsals were really hell, but he really knew how to help us tahan by cracking jokes and making those sarcastic remarks. and his pep talks after each parade rehearsal... meaningful..
He and his little Johnny stories...
"You maggots!"
"Who dropped the magazine!!!"
"You... you are not fit!!"
"If you cannot do it together, we will do it again..."
"Drink WATER!!!" -
i believe many specs and officers here have been through SOCE in nee soon camp right?
how do u find the SOCE SSM MWO LIM LU? the buck-toothed fellow. -
oh yes!Originally posted by le cruz:Is it John Selva?

I usually have good memories of CSM/BSM's. Sure, they wear the disciplinarian hat at times but, for the most part, there's more important matters at hand guiding an active or reservist unit. I also think the "men" generally bonded with him better (compared to the other KAHs) as they regularly trained together out in the field.
IMO RSMs tend to have an ego to match their rank, esp. those in training schools. My training-cadre RSM even tried to sell me insurance, post-SAF mandatory retirement, claiming he "must protect my boys". I told him to go fly kite (okay, something ruder) if he's gonna take that paternalistic attitude.
My active RSM was quite erratic & a bit of a buffon, calling everyone "Ah Tong San"; he fell from grace later, as the story went, from trying to rape a guardroom sentry (or commander) while drunk. My reservist stint lacked a permanent RSM for ages, with my RQ & sometimes a BSM filling in temporarily. The one who finally settled in was quite a pushover - you don't really meet a RSM in camp a lot during ICT except for muster parades, etc., plus he has his own field-training duties. With the latter, he was professionally led "astray" by my recce group a lot, as we taught him all the "welfare" tricks of the trade. -

Haha, our RSMs,BSMs, CSMs are truly a colourful bunch.Some are rotten but for every incompetent one, there are lots out there who are capable in being a fatherly figure to the NSFs and the younger regulars.

hey are u refering to Staff Kow from Pegasus Company ?
Sergeant Majors do impress me during my NSF days, as a senior specialist, the right hand man of the unit's CO, COs sometimes do listen to the advise of the RSM for he is the main link btw the men, specialist and the officers. and he is like the floor manager, he knows the internal workings inside out.
Even officers are scared of the RSMs. especially during the sub-ltern parades..once your in there, haha...3 carb also cannot save u ...then u see whats disco on the parade square..
My Unit's RSM was a respected figure head,often going for cigrette(rhyms with secret) breaks with his CSMs and PS....instills the disciplines of the men and mentoring the new commanders on the do and donts including officers...
but the one that left the most lasting impression was the School Sergeant Major of OCS, SWO John Sleva(sorry the spelling). 2 wks, we practised day and night for CPR, his voice always booming above the mike..."TAP THE BUCKLE"SWING AS ONE !! " U MAGGOTS " AHH AIR WING , LIKE SHIT THAT " AHH ARMOUR CONTIGENT, NEED SOME AXEL GREASE ON YOUR SWINGING ? LIKE SHIT "
and then listening to his story abt the butterflies ...haha..and his 1 man band...*BOOM CHA CHA * SHOOT* (guess which part is this =) )
But after the parade, we all had to return to the Cremonial Hall for our oath taking, after the oath and speech by commander OCS, he addressed us "Officers, this is for you " and he saluated us. most of us were like ...stunned...and we all gave one of most sincere saluates acknowledging his compliment. -
MWO Quek, FMN RSM of Signals. one heck of a great guy, gets lots of stuff done and is nice to his fellas.

how come u all get to have so nice Sergeant Majors , only me
