? If you know the massive amount of paperwork involved with processing a prisoner.... One day is just enough to do all of that. I know because i saw one of...

although most guys like the thought of it.. Laughing

Firstly, its bullsh*t that there are no females in combat roles. Go to NDU & tell that to CPT Esther Tan. Secondly, the current highest ranking female is LTC but that's not the ceiling. I've even seen the rank insignia for BG, but of course in a small army like our's its quite unlikely to have a female BG.

Also, those who have negative things to say about female soldiers are either MCPs, or losers who are embarassed by the fact that some ladies have accomplished more than they themselves can accomplish in 3 lifetimes!!

i thought i saw got at least one

martin_lim85 SG

actually i think they put service women because they are here to help relieve our stress, we see liao also SONG AR Mr. Green

sbst275 SG

That one is SYFC lah... Females are actually barred from RSAF fighter aircraft duty

Johnston SG

Bo nia lah.
If you get around a lot of the units, esp MINDEF and such, you shall find that generally the DXOs are more alluring.

i can count on one hand the amount of combat servicewomen i saw that would be appealing to the civilian male.

RuffRider SG

Things are changing in the SAF with respect to the roles women are playing. There is a general push for more of them into combat roles. I know personally, cos i was in an armour unit with 2 of them. I don;t think anything is concrete, yet, as many of the higher command are just observing how far they can go. Rules change with time. Last time policeman wear shorts.

Geforce3 SG

they fly transport and helos, not fighter aircraft, not yet atleast

Oh, NS can be too lonely sometimes ;-)

I recall my active outfit used to have 3 "pioneering" female servicemen, all average-looking & one even a bit cherubic (but was most feminine among the trio). A lot of peng had ended up having mini-crushes on them, revisionistly pathetic with the latter cuz she was with the Medical Centre & a lot of non-sick personnel happened to drop by daily for eye-candy relief ~lol~ She was vain enough to occasionally flirt too!

IMO The canteen/mess teenage helpers (older children of the mom-&-pop stallholders) were much prettier. I even managed to ask one of them to see movie at Beauty World, though she turned down my invitation to go to a Saturday tea dance - too young, I guess, at age 16 or thereabouts.

Master -_- SG

I seen a female LTC at CMPB before Mr. Green

Very nice leh her rank on the collar of her No.3?
Can't Imagine if COL how? 3 "crabs" full on her collar Laughing

Johnston SG

They say you can tell how old a person is and what he likes by what he says.
So you are one of the old birds, now are you?

Take it personally, i went around too many units and made MINDEF/CMPB my 2nd home. The only females worth looking at were the civilian DXOs and on occasion, the canteen operators.

However recently i have seen some WOs that are something.... Smile

sbst275 SG

Today read ZB seen the only female commander of the MGBs

Major Tay... Wearing No 3 with 1 'crab'... The crab was worn not in a proper manner

Any punishment to wear rank on collar not neatly?

Gordonator SG

there won't be a female COL. cos highest rank a female can go is LTC.

btw, i saw a female OCT in no.3 before. her rank is very funny. gross, i don't know how to describe. Laughing

esesce SG

Please quote an official source that says this 'cos personally I've seen the female rank insignia for BG, although I doubt we'll see a female BG for sometime, although a female COL is quite likely.

Johnston SG

Did you know that a female can become a FMN chief?
And there's insignia somewhere for all the female ranks alraedy.

All this is in BLACK and WHITE somewhere in the reams of paper of G1 Army.

Two interesting things i remember until today:

Service Servicewomen are exempted from IPPT after they give birth, regardless of age.
(Hmm. Sign on, give birth, no ippt.)

You may not assign "sai kang" to servicewomen.
You may not order them to do pumping unless on cse/traning, and in proper attire.
*so dont have thoughts of knocking down a servicewoman in no.3*

The thread starter still hasnt reverted on my offer.

sbst275 SG

Not fair!

Johnston SG

Believe it or not, it's true.
Smile

sbst275 SG

How to punish female officers for offence?

BTW, there are 3 female Super Puma pilots... 1 of them is featured in Oct's Pioneer

esesce SG

Not asking a woman to knock it down when she is in no 3 is pure common sense lah. U put on a skirt & you knock it down & let me whether firstly its possible, and secondly even if you can do it, tell me whether you will "run light" or not? Rolling Eyes
