Ponders SG I have heard of Nursing Officer in US Army (see Pearl Harbour movie, Kate Beckinsale is a Lieutanent). And I know for a fact Army nurses are Lieutanents. But I haven't heard of such a vocation in Singapore...... until i received Dec 2005 Pioneer (i paid 40cents for it).... turn to page 4 the bottom right picture. A female officer wearing a Red Cross Brassard. Can anyone confirm if Nursing officer exists in Singapore??
tarutaru SG Of cos they exist but most of them are in HQMCs or Divsion lvl and some of them are NuSAF
kuekj SG They of course exist. In the chain of command, after my senior medic, I have to report to my nursing officer.
Ponders SG Hmm... i haven't got the "honour" of seeing them then, depsite having to go into 9DIV and Nee Soon camp many times. I all along have been wondering if they exist but I have not heard it. I thought it would be a DXO vocation. But never see Recruitment Centre advertising for such vocations. Perhaps they advertise it in Poly Nursing courses.
Ponders SG So when they sign on their rank max out at LTA??? Are nursing officer all females? Tell me more!!!
Ponders SG your wish is granted now you must be wondering why Crazy Monkey says she's chio when you can't even see the face.
RvnRooRon84 SG I believe in that pic, the lady is LTA Tan. She is a Nursing Officer I think; and of course she IS Chio!!
cornyfish2000 SG There are male nursing officers.. ok, i've seen one before, looks in his 40s, and an LTA.
Luc85 SG at SMM @ Nee Soon Camp, there are 2 female nursing officers, namely LTA Laura Tham and 2LT Tan Tai Shen. if not wrong, the former is the OC of BTW and the latter is the CC for Basic Combat Medic Course.
