New Rank: Specialist Cadet (SCT)

Rednano SG

this is a stupid move! what stupid rank is this??

i dont get it!

think should be a WITS project lah...
to 'compensate' the specs for compare to the officer cadets...
to give a bit little money for sispec trainees.
a small morale boost to sispec trainees on sergeant course but while on PTE/CPL allowance.

With PRIDE WE LEAVE (not lead) .. HooHaaa ..

Whats the point , I wonder .. Its all just marketing .. Its just like giving you a new job title and a whole load of same crap + additional .. or may i use the sensitive word "EXTRAS" sai-gang ( fatigue work ) to do ..

Like the older generation used to say .. Either be a Dragon ( "long" aka Officer ) .. or be a Worm ( "chong" aka man) .. never ever be an in-between like the Specialist .. always kena pressed in between the officers and men ..

Men misbehave .. You kena .. Officer Buay Song .. You kena .. Men low morale , You kena .. Officer arrow , you kena .. Just for $20 more .. Hahah

hehe that may be true on the ground but if everyone thinks like you who is going to be the specialists? you still need specialists expertise at section level for an effective platoon. I think the new rank is meant to give more recognition to specialists in general and to give them motivation and acknowledgement for their area of expertise. It is a FACT in some cases that men are closer to their sergeants than to their PC. As a SC you are in command of men too and feel closer to them than their PC will be, and that in itself is a form of leadership too, even if the numbers commanded is smaller. It's leadership at a micro-level.

i don't understand how a new cadet rank will motivate the soldier. but the new revised allownance certianly will.

anyway i'm wondering is it Ok for a cadet to get more allowance than a fully trained CPL?

cadet oso get more pay than a reservist service pay...

NewKidOnTheBlock SG

Gloater .. anyway .. I agree with what you said in general lah .. I was juz grumbling .. I still perform my duties as a SC lah haha just grumbling .. Yes it is a fact that many men closer to SC than PC .. and yes its leadership closer to "ground Zero" instead of just HOT AIR yadda yadda .. I wan this done .. I want that done ..

Hahha my point is just that we still get flak for many things from the top and bottom. and But for the record , I never had any Extras signed during my time served.

btw, how come OCT is considered such a low rank? OCT leh, bro......once OCT graduate will become 2LT, full officer.....who dare play-play?!

even warrants have to give face to 2LT you know?!

as for that "LCP who pumps OCT", wait till OCT graduate from OCS then he knows.

i've always regard OCT as a rank higher than CPL.....more like on par with 3SG.

because...
during oct 1st term, if drop out, become pte.

during oct 2nd term, if drop out, become cpl.

during oct 3rd term, if drop out, become 3sg.

but then, most OCTs will complete their courses one mah.

so, better to treat OCTs like kings. u never know what will happen later.
