Definitely not the airborne one unless you're really so wanted! Very Happy

the badges u wear depend on the courses u haf gone thru and the proficiencies u haf attained. it does not depend on whether u r an nsf or regular or nsman.

BrUtUs SG

Thats for unarmed combat. Its a fist you see there. Need to finish the 2 basic levels then go for more advance lessons. Some PTIs have gone for such courses.

I only took finish the 2 basic levels.

wuming78 SG

"The Tae Kwon Do Black Belt Badge is awarded to personnel who attain the 1st Dan and above in Tae-Kwon-Do, either through the SAF or a certified civilian club, the qualifications of which are recognised by the SAF."

But then the above was quoted frm the website, it clearly stated that it "is awarded to personnel who attain the 1st Dan"

well. u dun need to buy it lor if u are certified to wear. so jus proof to ur csm/rsm tt u r qualified to wear, and den u will be allowed to draw them.

btw if u haf jus enlisted and are currently on basic courses e.g. bmt, bslc, better not wear without asking.

As an NSF, i recommend you try not to decorate your uniform too much. Unless you want to be 'recognised'. 'Recognised' ppl tend to be suaned abit more and tend to attract a tad bit more arrows. You will realise in time to come.

Just my experiences in my past NS days to share.

I'm wanted? Shocked Nobody told me!

Had all my badges as per requirement on my smart 4, but my training 4's only had rank and (on some) the basic wing.

s|nNeD SG

u commando mah... different leh... Razz

wuming78 SG

hm.. i tot regardless of wat all ur uniforms shud display all the badges u haf?

Gedanken SG

Most of us couldn’t be bothered sewing the Singapore wing, Thai airborne wing and marksman’s badge, plus rank, on all the uniforms, especially when nonody was going to notice in the field anyway.

ditzy SG

Nobody gives a damn what you got on ur uniform when outfield. Besides its damn ley chey to go sew the things on, cost $$$ also.

wuming78 SG

pride mah. Wink
