I do not need you to retract anything but perhaps you must
learnt to qualify something you have posted in a public board. I
can count BG Wong Huat Sern, BG Voon Tse Chow and BG Charles
Sih who were not scholars but got their one Star during their Base
Comd tour (was BG Wong's 2nd). Hence, rank attainment is based on
appointment. BG is an ROA for SAFOS scholars but not an exclusive
entity.
On the contrary, it is harder attaining your star due to the
size of the service. ADA will have a one star... majority of your
stars will come from fixed wing. It is less easy for a rotary wing
or transport pilot to get his star, And I am talking on the tip of
the iceberg. How about that??
I also have to add that the phenomenon i described (high no. of
one star positions and very small no. of regulars and super duper
small no. of SAFOS scholars) is peculiar to air force, so i still
don't think my original statement was totally invalidated, since
air force is merely one of three services, and not even the
biggest. I stand by it, and i think most people in SAF and out of
it do. If you know anything abt the other 2 you will know what I'm
talking abt.
