pride when they post out? haha at least u know u did sth u can be proud of during ur OCS days

Maybe I am sour grapes cos I am not SOM. But I dun see any difference between posting out as an SOM and a normal commissioned officer. also same life in NS. There is A DIFFERENCE, to put it mildly, if you disrupt from OCS delta wing cos you got a SAFOS or OMS (a slightly lower rung civilian version who work in the ministries).

are we getting officers who are in there just because of a sword?

is that why so many are sucky leaders?

errm..most cadets and officers don't care about the sword. the only people who care about it are non officers . my bro who's had his sword for 8 years didn't even bring his over to his new home when he got married last year.

wrong, OCS is in many ways more strict than BMT, as a cadet... training wise, no way for slacking =.=

To clarify everything,

The Sword of Honour is given to the best cadet. Infantry, signals, armour, arty, navy, airforce etc will have one SOH. SOH and SOM receipients are the top 10 percent of their cohort.

Every officer will get a sword when he commissions. Is it sharp at the tip but the blade is blunt. SOH and SOM will get the same sword but will have an additional OCS crest on the sword.

The SOH receipient will also receive a separate sword that he can take home for a few days but he has to return it to OCS. His name will be engraved on this SOH sword.
