teamsparco SG Dear all, Just curious. If yes, is it the same as commission officer. Or do they carry other stuff. Cause I saw last year NDP, the parade RSM was carrying something hanging on the side. Cheers.
teamsparco SG Hmm...I am sure it doesn't look like a stick though. If I remembered correctly, it had a crest on top. Well, I could be wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this? Cheers.
EXCO SG The sword is not "theirs", so as to speak. A ceremonial sword is worn by appointment holders as a symbol of authority and protection. The only time a Parade RSM will draw his sword is during the Trooping of the Colours.
Gordonator SG to clarify your doubt. warrant officers do not have ceremonial swords, not even pacestick unless they are a CSM or RSM.
Archtomato SG Those holding CSM appointments will carry a Black pacestick while the RSM will get his brown pacestick .. they will also get a sword to use for trooping the colors ...
OH-FF SG It can be used to measure how many steps a soldier takes to march to the flag. Or shove it up the arse of the soldier.
kentheman SG wah piang...kena shove up not fun leh...somemore the pace stick can open up one..haha...imagine, shove up alr open up...an exp of a lifetime
