which is more prestigous?

Icemoon SG

This is strange. I've never seen a CQ tasked by a sect comm to clear his own stores?

kentheman SG

hmmm, according to him, it was after an event. and everyone chipped in to help..

LazerLordz SG

everyone should just chip in.being selfish will only cause you to book out late.

CQMS by right cannot be commanded by a Sect Comd.Appointment is similar, and CQMS is under the RQMS or HQ CSM.

In SISPEC .. it is very common for ADF men to teach the instructors!!! haha.

ADF men usually in force for 3-4 years already and its 3-4 years of outfield and training. SISPEC instructors are just fresh pass outs.

For me, i had to explain to my CSM and PC why SAF uses mils rather than degrees.

and how "mils" is derived from.

From then on, they never dared to disturb me on anything to do with topo and navigation.

Rockhound SG

mils more accurate......degree is more for air navigation use...

LazerLordz SG

very common. Mr. Green

Ponders SG

Correct.

But in other armies, mils is only reserved for artillery corps but due to the size of singapore a degree has too much margin for error

So they stick to mils just to be safe.

But where is mils derived from?? hehe... this is what ppl usually dunno.

Rockhound SG

i was told that it was used by the brits and sg adopted it..

Ponders SG

WHat i mean is ..... what is mils? how was it derived?

Let me cut the story short lah...

Mils is short for milli-radians.

If you learn from school, one circle is 2-pi. So 3.14 x 2 = 6.28.

It would be too much trouble if you use 6280 for a full circle. So the NATO-side military round up to 6400 so that the quadrants can be at 1600, 3200 and 4800.

Russians round down to 6200.
