So, it is not about working hard. It is also about working smart.

agreed and very insightful balance to this discussion.
I'm not putting down scholars with SAFOS or SAF SMS. In fact, I agree they should be holding key appointments in ops planning and future ops planning.
However, due to the inherent career path in the SAF, some mil college trained officers may not get a good career path. And thus why some good officers stay away from going to a mil school... because the chances, realistically speaking, are not as good as going to top universities worldwide under the more prestigious SAFOS or SMS.

Bottom line is I am for having Oxbridge or Ivy league scholars, for they too will wear green ( or blue or navy) and contribute to SAF, in their own capacity.

There is no waste in being the Infantry. You can go for Guards conversion if you want. Or even better go and get that powerful Ranger tab, thats what so many regulars go all out for. And its a lot respectable to see an infantry commander with a ranger tab. And who knows what other prestigious titles are out there…..no limits, impossible is nothing, just do it.

Many of the SAFOS and President scholars friends i know have been exemplary too. Pls stop tinking that they are accelerated becos of the scholarships. Think why they got the scholarship in the first place.

Do u know it takes many balls to sit alone in front of 13 interviewers? well, they (the SAFOS and President scholars) survived and did well enuff, not once but many times.

Becos they have to uphold their scholarship status, many put in crazy amount of hardwork. can u imagine after 7-11 SOC they go back to their OCS books and study until 3am? That sandhurst fellow is impressive, so are the SAFOS n presidents

We also had a PSC scholar in our section.Both very humble and nice.By the way,he is actually Singaporean Arab,not Malay.

Very mature,humble and down to earth.He was the best of us.
