Highest A Reservist Officer Get: SAF Advanced School Courses

nightzip SG

think those are different lah...those generals and colonels...

like they signed up as regular for 1st one or two contracts, like for 6-9 years, which they obtained till LTC etc...then subsequently never continued contract due to better jobs prospects found etc...so they ORDed...

then when they do reservists, they maintain the rank of LTC and after 3-5 ICTs may get promoted to COL before they RODed...

think of those specialists which signed on till 1SG or SSG, then think ARMY no prospects or never promote them so they go for other jobs, when they come back for ICT, they may get SSG (NS) or 2WO(NS)...

etc. Very Happy

i saw before a MAJ(NCC) and LTC(NCC) before. Laughing

hotdoggie SG

What about those who were not regular before... Possible for them to reach Maj at what age as reservist?

LazerLordz SG

MAJ (DR) at the age of 40?If your BCS and Med battalion is damn efficient.Or perhaps if you've gone for overseas medical support missions.

For normal officers, if you are arrowed for CTC, you might get your CPT(NS) but even now, they might just let LTA(NS)s be OCs and CPT(NS) be CO/S3.So guess the promotion would not be very fast.It's more of your appointments moving up faster than your rank.

For us specs..we may ROD realistically as 1SG or SSG.Depending how "garang" you are during ICT. Laughing

specfore SG

Regarding specs (NCOs)... I got a work colleague , many years ago , reached 2WO as an NS guy. This was before the new specs rank system, when after SSG, you became a 2WO.

Nowadays difficult... I was "promoted" 1SG during my disruption during reservist. But that was because I served many high-keys and did a few things for the unit. It also helped because of the nature of the unit.

Ogbunwezeh SG

Why got such high ranking officer do reservists? I tot they all regular no need reservists mah…

Gordonator SG

of course they must so reservist until they ROD lah, regardless of ex-regulars or NSFs. Laughing

SpecOps87 SG

The GM of Discovery centre, Jordan Wu is a Col. in 2PDF if I'
m not wrong.Heard from superiors there that he's an active reservist and is also a brigade commander.

nightzip SG

what the lowest rank a reservist can attain?

can be recruit? as in he OOC and OOC and OOC in BMTC till ORD? but is still combat fit pes status? so have reservist? Laughing

LazerLordz SG

Nope.PTE is given after 9mths of service if I'm not wrong.OOC and OOC..still become PTE.

nightzip SG

oic... Very Happy

Gordonator SG

in the first place, it's impossible for u OOC so many time during your BMT until u ORD. upon 1st OOC, they throw u to a unit liao Laughing

tErI-yAkI SG

No. Will be promoted to PTE 4 months from the date of enlistment.

martin_lim85 SG

btw LCP how much allowance?

Gordonator SG

non-combat is $370. + another $10 or $20 if u are 1 year soldier.

mwk SG

For those who are not ex-regulars, think it's LTC. There're some Sword of honour winners who go on to be CO's of NS Infantry Bns. Estb Rank for Bn CO's I think it's LTC.

LazerLordz SG

CPTs can be Bn2ICs, and acting CO of NS BNs too.
