You will bring your spouse or gf along when you put on no.2 for Dining-in event.
No.1 is for parade ceremorial and sometime some officers might wanna have a modify military wedding.

I dont really like to put on no.1 uniform coz most occassion when i have to wear no.1 is when someone deceased... Sad

it is a very smart looking uniform to wear. but it is also not easy - especially since its white, and since its for ceremonial purposes, meaning it has to be top notch in condition and standard. it's also very hot to wear.

don't understand your ns man wearing no. 1 question.

pkchukiss SG

Well, NSFs don’t get much chance to wear that, unless you are an officer, or some guy has appointed you to be the pallbearer when he dies. I doubt you would enjoy the latter.

choy choy choy touch wood

GTB SG

for NSF..u will only get to wear if u r an officer or u r an MP standing guard at the istanna as well as being the ceremonial guards..but in order to wear dat no.1 uniform u will haf to suffer 10 mths in ocs or slog it out in the MP basic or spec 2 course follow by the tough orientation drill in the Provost's APC...damn xiong n sianz.. Sad

SibeiSuayKia SG

rather not wear..

rather go buy 1 made-in-china No.1 uniform..

wear it at home for my private pleasure

wuming78 SG

other than MPs and officers, any other NSF can have the opportunity to wear that uniform.

e.g. being the guard of honour at NDP, e.g. when you come from 1 cdo at that time.

Ponders SG

the other occasions you get to wear,

being the Guard of Honour of formation anniversary parades or major army parades (e.g. the merging of 9DIV/INF involved wearing of no.1).

the only occasion i got to wear no. 1 was for a funeral. Sad

Slywong SG

Got to wear No.1 as was selected for Guard of Honour for visiting minister and head of states. Tailor made for you......

Our unit, Armour, and Provost was selected during that cycle......Whenever there is a visiting head of states or ministers, we will be activated. Can siam Unarmed Combat, exercises etc etc.... Wink Either at Mindef or the Istana.

The biggest GOH parade was at Istana for visiting President of China, Jiang Cher Ming accompanied by late President Ong Teng Chong, SM Lee, then vice-PM Lee Hsieng Loong and Tony Tan.

How about wearing number 3, who wears?

Goondu74 SG

Nice to look at but so bloody difficult to maintain!! my no.1 all white leh, just the coating of my george’s boots take 1 whole night liao

I wore it as part of a Guard of Honor for a fellow gunner who got killed in the line of duty; under the tragic circumstances I'd rather not have the opportunity at all, frankly.

The No. 1 uniform isn't as glamorous to me. We drew it out of our unit store & they stank stale (even after laundrying) & needed a lot of improvisory tailoring (inc. ranks & ill-fitting collars). What's worst of all is the requisitory drills that come along with the attire, to be conducted by a RSM, no less. Imagine marching around the parade square for countless hours a day & for many days, trying to get used to the unfamiliar drill commands & "SER-MU-LAH! SER-MU-LAH!" all the time.

The NDP contingents go through very much the same process, except they kena burnt weekends along the way too. So the visual appearance on the big day always has its context to me, cuz I recognize how much sacrifices were made to prepare for the occasion.

SibeiSuayKia SG

ooo

So how many SAF deaths are there?

wuming78 SG

no. 3 is just normal office attire.

erijazz SG

yah, for NSF who wears no.3 normally are those who are PES E etc who serve their NS in admin post

kopiosatu SG

as if i want to wear no.3, i got chance i will wear my coveralls or no.4
