Pls read the officers mentioned in this thread about big shots I started some time ago. These ARE BIG SHOT officers recognised by everyone, not only by their brother.

That's why hor, everyone knows them and everyone can participate in the conversation, NAMING THEM, gossipping abt them. Hello wake up!! These are what you call big shots, definition of big shot in SAF: Everyone including NSFs knows them, speed of promotion, kind of appointments, rank relative to age. Pls note that majority of ppl participating in that conversation are NSFs. Is his name there? My guess is NOT.

Next, I welcome you to google and 'reference check' ALL these big shots. I challenge you to see if they have ever been seconded to be DAs.

Big shots/fast climbers are not seconded to passive postions like DAs or camp commandant in Brunei. SAF’s contingent commander of Interfet (International Force for East Timor) yes cos that is ACTIVE DUTY, and definitely big brownie point scorer in the Timorese crisis (COA Neo Kian Hong).

DA? Pls find for me.Thanks hor! if you can find a RECOGNISED big shot doing such jobs, OVER being Div Commanders, ACGS and JOINT CHIEFS, this is my challenge to you.

Cannot believe that anyone who has been through NS would not know the definition of farmer. This is in reference to your ignorance in the "Advice Pls" thread where you said you thought farmer refers to people in Logistics?! I think this line of yours is bound to make ACGS (Logistics) COL Ngien Hoon Ping flip. Pls read Tim Huxley's Defending The Lion City. Huxley's book is so well regarded and used by academics, it's also recommended by the Mindef library. You can google it yourself. Also try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Armed_Forces_ranks

wondered why RSAF didn't send a scholar over instead. But now I wonder if he's not being co-opted into the diplomatic corps or something, to possibly apprentice for a post-retirement career. Need to ask him whether it'll come with a COL rank, too. See, even big-shot officers must obey their deployment orders. lol

I quoted your statements all the SUPER FUNNY bits in RED and BOLD for everyone to laugh until peng.. ALL the bits that showed you believed your brother was a BIG SHOT and "why didn't they send a scholar over instead?" The answer is they don't post fast climbers to such posts.

Actually no need to go through all this trouble.

I challenge YOU now just pick up your hp now and give your brother a call and ask him.

Bro 1) are you a big shot? besides me, anyone else thinks so in the world, esp in SAF? 2) how old are you now? are you a 32 yr old LTC or a 42 yr old LTC? (If he's above age 40 but not COL yet, odds are bad) 3) What is the profile type of those sent to be military attache? Any of the scholar high flier I wrote you were equivalent to so far? Anyone of them were military attaches ah brother? Who among your bosses were sent to be military attaches?

Truth Hurts.

But i think its not wise to laugh it out loud. Your mocking tone, tainted your otherwise well presented facts.

Its nice of all of u to share your views, but lets not cross over the line, its the internet, we all can get misunderstood for what we actually meant.

My response would not have been conjured if he wasn't as BHB as to write the things he wrote. In general, if one wants to put something forth open to the judgment and KNOWLEDGE of other people, one should expect a corresponding response that befits what he puts out. If one disagrees, he's welcome to back his statements to counter the negative response with facts.

I urge blitzronic to ask his brother the questions, and if you dare, tell us his age. We can even gauge for you whether he can make COL or not, with so many of us here you'll certainly get an even diagnosis and not your blood-tainted one. 30 yr old LTCs are recognised big-shots for sure and they do exist, and everyone knows they'll make general. 37 - 40 yr old LTCs are not, and no one except their family maybe is under the delusion that they're big shots. You can tell some of the RSAF guys here his base command tours and his age which will give them an idea of whether he can get his 3rd crab.

And pls hor, don't fall into the naive propaganda that anything that sends you out of SG equals to prestige and propels you to be Tommy Koh. I cringe when I read how you said he's being inducted into the "diplomatic corp" based on an unknown overseas posting lower than a defence attache -DAs are taken up by many 43 yr old COL. and there you are sounding so pleased.

Anything that gets you beyond Johor is a sign that you've arrived is a sad delusion originating from the private sector, where quite a lot of people go around telling others they've arrived cos their company sent them to work in a tiny sales office in Beijing or cos they set up a one-man-show sales office in Vietnam for their small start-up.
