28 year old LTA

Marco_Simone SG

=Condemmed case? When there are 24 year old CPTs and 28 year old MAJs.

Anyway how about a 29 year old 1SG when there are 23 year old 1SGs and 30 year old MSG?

Is it because of the educational level?

monkeybusiness SG

possible.. my fren is 29 tis yr and he’s a 1st sgt

Moxie SG

Is he a regular? If combat, has he held the appointment of a company commander (or equivalent) before?

If so, I would think it's a strong signal if he still can't climb past LTA.

chikopek SG

I have even seen a 36 years old 2SG before! Shocked

Parka SG

how about 40+ SSG?

Gordonator SG

NSman is it?

kopiosatu SG

some are not. its because they go out to study and promotions are all put on hold.

non ideal rank or age doesn't mean condemned.

kopiosatu SG

That's about it.

might have other factors, education is one of them

NeonTetra SG

hmmmm...during my days in mindef

i have seen worse cases than this Smile

chikopek SG

No she's (yes she's female) a regular.......

thoreldan SG

reason quite simple..they may be in their 20’s (after ord) before they decide to sign-on

specfore SG

Back in the 80s when I was doing my full-time NS... there were "worse" cases. 35 yr old LTAs (one of our OCs) and 40 yr old SSGs.

But I should think that the SAF has improved its HR management. 28 yr old LTA is OK... I think. Could be a lot of factors... e.g. conversion from NCO , after studies / OCS ???

Latest news:The 28 year old LTA will get his third bar next week.

Lord Kang SG

Ponders SG

It's it possible to be COL at 28 years old?

My reviewing officer for a parade is said to be of that age.

chikopek SG

If I was not wrong our prime minister Lee Hsien Loong becomes a COL around that age is it?
