    It's challenging to remember each rank's name, what it looks like, and what to call someone. Here's a quick guide on what each rank means in the SAF. It's mostly lighthearted jokes, so don't take this video too seriously!

    The transition from Cap to Maj is quite amusing as you go from being the biggest of the small fks to the smallest of the big fks.

    It's funny because a recruit who goes the OCS might think that one day their BMT sgts will have to salute them, but they don't realise that by the time they're commissioned as a 2LT their sgts will already have reached a higher rank: CIV.

      unless they end up in the same reservist / ICT. then might get the chance to get saluted and make them knock it down.

    To correct you a bit, it's technically true that commissioned officers are higher ranked than warrant officers. However, for junior commissioned officers from 2LT to maybe CPT, they can't actually just "knock" an encik down like that. This is actually an unspoken military rule all over the world.

    Actually when you are in command ranks, you don't just knock another commander down like that. Knock it down only happen during course. And trainers can knock trainees down regardless of rank. There was once a fresh 2LT knock all the specs down (3SG to 1SG) and he got called in to office by the OC. And good luck he made common enemies after that.

    I learnt unarmed combat during my unit days in the late 80s. The unarmed combat instructors were all PTIs who were mostly corporals armed with UC black belt and they knocked everyone down - including Encik and officers - to do knuckles push up. 🤣 NB: In the 80s, corporal was the lowest specialist rank.

    Well, last I heard that supply cadets go through training and the supply and transport school, next, they did their on job training in their unit for 4 months, then they went to school of logistics and passed out as a 3SG. My friend told me about this as she went through it.

  • @wks2291
    @wks2291 Год назад +11

    Unlike other major military countries, being in the military here is no pride and rarely get respect from the general population. In fact there are many who laugh at people who "signed on". And this is true even if you are a senior ranked officers. You can wear your crab or star in public and no one will give u a F at all. For Americans this is very different from your country where soldiers are held in high esteem. Its just a mentality thing cuz the government here forces youth to go for 2.5 years (at least during my time) service and most dislike it. And our generals here are garbage, many of them screw up once they retire to civil service and got 0 war experience anyway. If real war break out first to run will be them.
