We hope you enjoyed the SAF Day Parade brought to you live via our social media platforms on 1 Jul! Take a look at what went on behind-the-scenes for the parade and how our servicemen and women trained for the big day.
I was one of the marchers in the SAF day parade, in the Guards Formation. Though I was a late addition to the team. Before the rehearsals at SAFTI MI, they were practice runs in my camp. I didn’t participate in those practice runs as back then, I wasn’t involved. My first rehearsal was during my block leave, I was activated to replace someone in my contingent. I was quite pissed due to the last minute nature of it but what can I do? I had a crash course on the commands and actions in the morning and off I went to SAFTI MI for rehearsals. After my first rehearsal, my SM told me that I’ll officially be part of the contingent and the rest is history.
