It will be introduced to all
servicemen over a three-year period starting from
2009.
The first to receive the new uniforms will be recruits
from the January Basic Military Training intake, as well as active personnel and NSmen
in their sixth and seventh In-Camp Training years, while the rest
will get theirs in 2010 and 2011.
NSmen currently in their
seventh to ninth years, however, will not receive the new
uniform.
SAF said this phased approach takes into consideration the wear
and tear of servicemen's existing uniforms. - CNA/de
As Rednano's post pointed out,the earliest time you will probably
get to see the new uniform in emart is next year.
