My friend got the opposite situation.... because he is a LCP, he usually do all the fatigue work. Then he was attached to a convoy that is going to destruct...

in my unit i see officers that i truly salute from the bottom of the heart i do see they really care for the men under their charge, dont pull ranks on the men(privates etc) when talking to them unless absolutely necessary.

my pc, oc and co are such ppl.

Marco_Simone SG

ALL the officers I encountered in my NS life didnt deserve my salute.Anyway,most of the time,I didnt greet them when I walk past them,let alone salute.

Master -_- SG

You salute the rank... not the person Rolling Eyes

Marco_Simone SG

No chance in hell

*shrugs* those officers I knew didnt deserve the rank.

Aveme SG

and you did not read the thread title,it says officers who you salute from the bottom of your heart meaning you truely respect the person behind the rank as well.Who cares about just saluting to the rank if the rank itself does not command respect,just plain stupid to do so.

gnoik SG

me agree! Those whom i encountered suxs. Always pulling rank~ Esp those in BMT!

Aveme SG

for me,only one such officer during my NS stint deserved mine.

Was my BMT pc who is able to lead what he expect of his men by living up to the same and actually better standard as well,also does not pull rank like all other officers i have seen does.

Master -_- SG

then why do u salute the flag if the flag itself does not command respect Rolling Eyes

Marco_Simone SG

Have you actually encountered commanders who actually singgered at their men for various reasons?

kopiosatu SG

i salute the aircraft moving off, not the rank.

Aveme SG

i salute to the flag because it represent the country and for what this country has given me,it deserved my respect already.So i am actually saluting to the country not the flag as per se.

CoolMyth SG

My WO. Totally deserved respect. Cool

Master -_- SG

precisely... Laughing

Tamade Extreme SG

Wahahhahaha Laughing

bismarck SG

i do salute the rank.
but for some i salute the rank and person holding that rank

Aveme SG

yes my platoon pc is one,the one who will scold his men outfield during flanking walk if they fall down,saying stuff like ccb,why you fall down as if the person actually wanted to.He was also the one who needed our OC to reduce his 2.4 km run by 30 seconds to get the gold award (how we knew?cos he retook his IPPT attempt to get gold and we had someone timed him and he actually fall short of 30 seconds) which 85% of the company men is able to do so without cheating.

Master -_- SG

well, i do agree with you.. Not all officers are matured yet able enuff to wear that rank..

I'm proud to see that NS have made u a much matured person, bis Wink

Aveme SG

so you see my point,i salute the country not the flag,and i saluate the person not the rank.

Master -_- SG

30s is alot Shocked Shocked and he got away with it?

Aveme SG

yes he got away with it cos our RSM insisted that every company get 90% gold award for IPPT and to make up for the numbers,his was changed after repeated attempts at gold and failed.
