SM why for example a course, the OIC rank is lower than the 2IC? I thought hierachy always plays according to ranks and achievements?

REASON said...

SM , when is the next PDS AI and when's the refresher date?

hello said...

SM , what's the purpose of an escort? how come only ensign got it? while PC / 2IC dont have?

Anonymous said...

SM is there a chance spec course can revert to those days in SISPEC? Or COC graduation get to be held at SAFTI M.I ?

Anonymous said...

What's the difference with Airborne and Rigger? Aren't they jumping the same way?

Unknown said...

1. If you received the lanyard, you could continue wearing it but if you received the badge, you should not.

2. No, AMs cant participate as marching contingent. Only active Cadet Leaders can participate.

3. Cadet Offr Cse is 2 weeks, AI out in Oct and I guess is 160 to 200 pax.

4. Sunglasses is not an issued item hence its improper.

5. Parade involves marching in and out. Ceremony is normally conducted indoors and minimum drill is involved.

6. Ensigns minimum rank is C/Offr. At sch units if a cadet carries the flag they are called Flag Bearers. Minimum rank must be 1SG.

sm, i heard that coc and bdg clash this year. can i still go for both?

Anonymous said...

Can unit COs give the rank of MSG to cadets whom they think have done well enough to deserve it?

Anonymous said...

Sm so for parades and ceremonies like school Ndp parades the minimum rank for a flag bearer should be 1SG?

Anonymous said...

SM what does the cadet address a Master Sergeant as? Because in my school I was taught to address them as "Encik" but in HQ i was taught to address them "Master Sergeant" or even "Sergeant Major" so what's the proper way?

Anonymous said...

You only call them encik only after they have passed out

Anonymous said...

Sergeant Major is not a rank but a position or appointment given as a duty

Anonymous said...

SM, can AM go for ICEP ?

Unknown said...

1. The reason why the OIC rank is lower than the 2IC is probably the District or Course Comamnder wants to groom that particular person.

2. Next PDS AI course is in Sep. Refresher will be 2 weeks before the course.

3. What is your question on escort?

4. There is no way Specs course will return or graduation at SAFTI MI.

5. Rigger are the people that packs the parachute.

6. What is BDG? Did you mean BDC? No, you can't attend both. How to?

7. Only Commandant NCC has the authority to promote cadets to MSG.

8. USM's are addressed as Sergeant Major, while the ASM is addressed as Master Sergeant.

9. You never ever called MSG "Encik" as they are not Warrant Officers.

SM, if I'm not wrong, in this year's COC, cadets will receive pixelated uniforms (including Air and Sea) right? Thanks

Anonymous said...

Hi SM. what is the difference between a NSF, Regular and Ns men? do you mind defining them?

Anonymous said...

My question on escort was"for student I mean cadet leaders taking part in school parades like Ndp parades is the minimum rank to take the position of flag bearer be 1SG?"

Anonymous said...

SM since the pixelated generation like the PartBs&As are the new batches to have the pixel uniforms and they can't wear badges on their uniform are badges still required to be given to them?

Anonymous said...

SM to clarify,I heard that recently it's been changed that the current PartBs&As will go through CampForge&Steel and get their ranks through these camps is that true?

Anonymous said...

sm, i heard the coc and bdc dates clash this year. can we still go for both?

Unknown said...

1. Yes, that is correct. All COC trainees will receive pixelated uniform.

2. NSF are fulltime National Servicemen. They serve actively for 2 years. NS men, are NSFs who have completed their 2 years but has another 10 years to serve, part time. Regulars, are servicemen who has made SAF their career spanning from 3 years of service onwards.

3. 1SG

4. For land boys, they can still wear badges on their uniforms. Who told you they cant wear badges on their pixelated uniform.

5. Only after completing Camp Forge and Steel can the cadet receive their ranks.

6. You definitely can't go for both COC and BDC. You tell me how you going to do it?

Anonymous said...

But what I heard was that they receive their LCP & CPL ranks in the camps they go like STEEL&FORGE

Anonymous said...

SM I thought that the pixelated uniform can't have any badges pinned upon it except for the Camo No.4,No.3&No.1?

Unknown said...

You heard and thought wrongly.

Anonymous said...

But isn't it said that its because of the new patches to be sewn on the pixel uniforms as well?

Unknown said...

Land Boys, has 2 pairs of no.4 uniform. One pair will be their no.3 while the other the no.4 uniform. You can pin badges on your no.3 "uniform" like what you have done with your camouflage uniform.

Anonymous said...

But Can badges be pinned on the Pixel No.4?
Isn't No.3 only available for renting for the USM's of school units?

PDS said...

Hi SM, is the basic PDS at HQ taking place next Friday on 25 July? My CO told me HQ has stopped organising PDS basic certification. Is that true?

GESS said...

Hi SM,

I would like to start a PDS in my school. Is there any place where I can get PDS information from?

Anonymous said...

SM, If my school wants to start PDS/ PDS team do we have to notify HQ?
If so who do we contact?

Unknown said...

1. Badges can be pinned for Land Boys no.3 uniform. Land Boys has 2 pairs of pixelated uniform. 1 pr will be as No. 3 while the other is no. 4.

2. No. 3 uniforms are issued to all school unit USMs. Not rented.

3. Yes, there is basic PDS certification on 25 Jul at HQ.

4. Please inform 3WO Shaffiee, CSM Air if your school would like to start up the PDS program

5.

Anonymous said...

So the No.3 is only issued to USMs?

Anonymous said...

SM what's the actual reason in HQ why MSG is only awarded to USM&ASMs

Unknown said...

1. Yes, the no. 3 uniform is issued to USMs only.

2. Why must other cadets receive the MSG rank? less the USM and ASM?

Anonymous said...

SM, for the COC Physical Test, can chin-ups be done for the pull-up section like in IPPT?

Anonymous said...

SM I don't understand your answer of less the USM and ASM

Anonymous said...

SM when's the webpage gonna be up?

Unknown said...

1. Yes, chin ups can be done like IPPT

2. MSG rank is given to the top 2 cadets that is the USM and ASM. Hope it answers your query.

3. Currently, we are engaging a vendor to re vamp our website.

Anonymous said...

SM why are staff sgts known as Non-commissioned officers? and sergeants known as specialists. what is the difference

Anonymous said...

SM but you do know that time to time the top two cadets arent always given USM&ASM

Unknown said...

1. NCO is an old terminology used long ago. 3SG are called Specialist while SSG and MSG are called Senior Specialists.

2. If the USM and ASM are not promoted to MSG then its the school unit problem. Can you proof to me which school unit USM and ASM not promoted to MSG?

Anonymous said...

SM I meant that sometimes the Top Cadets in a school units arent made the USM&ASM of the school unit

Anonymous said...

The Unit's leaders and officers have the power to select who are BEST suited for the roles of SMs in the Unit. Just because they are good in drills doesn't always mean that they have the characteristics and the potential to be a good leader. I hope this helps to clarify and to keep one burden off SM. Cheers!

Unknown said...

If the top cadets are not appointed USM and ASM, then sadly your school unit system is flawed.

Anonymous said...

SM so now PartAs receive their LCP ranks when they pass Camp Forge&Part Bs their CPL ranks when they pass camp steel right?

Anonymous said...

SM what happen if a school got new TO then the new "TO" havent go TOC yet can he control and command the unit?

Unknown said...

Yes and the yes the untrained TO can look after the school unit until he/she attends the TOC.

Hi Sergeant Major. I'm Teck Lee.

Thank you so much for your kind words and compliment for my SG50 saf story which was published at the istana on 26july.

Remember the times back in NCC, alot that i have learn throughout the 4yrs. it was pleasure to meet you and knowing you.

Now that i am an offically an nsf. i felt the duties are much more greater then what i am doing in ncc actually.

with refer to a cadet asking why their empualette can't put the singapura suffix i suppose it also includes to the no.3 uniform even though its has no rank on top of it just the singapura suffix too?

thank you SM :)

i hope to see you sometimes soon at CMPB :D

Best Wishes
REC Lim Teck Lee
