What Each Rank Means in the SAF 

It's funny because a recruit who goes the OCS might think that one day their BMT sgts will have to salute them, but they don't realise that by the time they're commissioned as a 2LT their sgts will already have reached a higher rank: CIV.

The transition from Cap to Maj is quite amusing as you go from being the biggest of the small fks to the smallest of the big fks.

To correct you a bit, it's technically true that commissioned officers are higher ranked than warrant officers. However, for junior commissioned officers from 2LT to maybe CPT, they can't actually just "knock" an encik down like that. This is actually an unspoken military rule all over the world.

Actually when you are in command ranks, you don't just knock another commander down like that. Knock it down only happen during course. And trainers can knock trainees down regardless of rank. There was once a fresh 2LT knock all the specs down (3SG to 1SG) and he got called in to office by the OC. And good luck he made common enemies after that.

Too bad CIV rank doesn't protect you from reservist

I learnt unarmed combat during my unit days in the late 80s. The unarmed combat instructors were all PTIs who were mostly corporals armed with UC black belt and they knocked everyone down - including Encik and officers - to do knuckles push up. 🤣 NB: In the 80s, corporal was the lowest specialist rank.

Those chocolate bars look delicious. Hope Encik won't bite them

That time I Recruit and got appointed as Bunk IC for 2 weeks as 3SG, then Private and 2SG and LCP and 1SG to go up and wake all the SOL soldiers all by myself.

Came here from Kaizer hahaha Your video is great as well, subscribed!

Should talk about the MEs too

Could you do one about appointments in the army?

How do you explain the dome protection and the double dome protection for CFC AKA 1CPL?

What does a Brigadier General in SAF do in and battles or inactions for to helping Other people.

Highest rank is Mummy…

Always ask mom to complain civilian rank outranks everything ;D

The problem n sweet thing is we are not explained all these info during our training times..

Bro, you forgot that after the 3-stars, there is one more rank - SMRT CEO

And reservist also can promote to first sg or warrant offficer

Knowledge is knowing a 2LT can knock any encik down. Wisdom is knowing never to do that.

one of my school NCC TO ( Teacher Officer) got Major Rank

Even youtube doesn't see the 4th skill tree. ouch

This is beautiful. No matter the military or the service branch... ....the jokes are a common thread. Fantastic.

Where is SMRT CEO and MP?😊

Rice bowl protection 💀💀💀

Yes3. I m army veteran. Now adays their ranks make us laugh.

Did I heard Occifer?

very funnnnny..... 😂😂😂

I am from SAF. Watched this video. I'm a major ah u

What is SCS and SWAS ?

Which path shall you take?

Unlike other major military countries, being in the military here is no pride and rarely get respect from the general population. In fact there are many who laugh at people who "signed on". And this is true even if you are a senior ranked officers. You can wear your crab or star in public and no one will give u a F at all. For Americans this is very different from your country where soldiers are held in high esteem. Its just a mentality thing cuz the government here forces youth to go for 2.5 years (at least during my time) service and most dislike it. And our generals here are garbage, many of them screw up once they retire to civil service and got 0 war experience anyway. If real war break out first to run will be them.

U missed the ME ranks

But so sad. We donot have 4 stars full general.

how abt ncc?

Nowadays rank change until I blur in 80 to millennium rec ,pte, and rare pte first class lcp ,corporal 3sg 2sg 1st sg ,staff sg master sg 2ndwarrant 1st warrant,master warrant, senior warrant. Nowadays first class pte sure have and come out out a first class coporal

The highest rank in SG is Prime Minister, HAHA.

There is so much protection with the ranks that your girlfriend will never get pregnant

Wow

Well, last I heard that supply cadets go through training and the supply and transport school, next, they did their on job training in their unit for 4 months, then they went to school of logistics and passed out as a 3SG. My friend told me about this as she went through it.

General - Cabinet minister.

PTE > any rank with white insignia. kek

🤣🤣🤣

You forget another path military expert rank from me1 -me8

As they say in the SAF, don't mess with the regulars even if you are a 2LT. Depending how foolish the NSF officer wants to be, the kopi talk could go from the OC to CO to Chief XXX officers to Chiefs of the Service to finally the CDF... Only one NSF in the whole history of SAF managed to get away relatively unscathed after a furious letter to all of the above mentioned senior leadership....

“Choose”

How about military experts?

bro i am only first sergeant leh

and then u have the highest rank in sg civilian nice

SAF - never fought a war before. No soldiers in SAF regardless of rank. You can only be called a soldier if you have fought a war. Thank you!
